Hotel Modesto, Somewhere A Few Miles From Bruges, Belgium.
Sometimes the impossible is necessary.
So that’s why I woke in the night with an itching left primary digit – a Belgian mosquito bite!
An enjoyable reading breakfast…

Reflective reading-breakfasts on the road support the rest of my day. When I entered, the in-house Noise Pollution Unit was set to classical, but soon the welcome sonic-nutrition was overridden, amplitudinally speaking, by the conversation of the gentleman-breakfast provider and the elderly woman-authority-person in the nearby kitchen. A switch to noise-excluding personal listening: Haydn & Mozart String Quartets.
Bags are packed & by the door…
The typical continental window vertical-shutters, operated by a pull-strap at the side, were difficult to close last night. They are impossible to open today. The rule is: leave the space as you find it. The shutters need maintenance (the hotel & its equipage are three decades into tiredness) so I am unable to return them to the condition prevailing upon arrival. Technically this is acceptable: I am not in the position to repair the shutters myself. So, regrettably I’ll have to go with the status post-ante.

WiFi access is once again very expensive, and declined.
The hotel is centrally located; a lunchtime walking in the rain around the town in the rain for an Indian meal in the Bollywood Restaurant. A large wall television played a DVD of various Bolly singing dancing entertainments.
Back to catching up with various arisings. Walking to dinner in rain & lightning, returning to practising & now computing.
