Embuggeration in Brussels

So, at around 9:15am the entire electrical grid of Belgium was disrupted. You, gentle readers, are asking why we should care? Well, Christopher's flight to Palermo from Brussels didn't get off the ground. As a general rule, we both try to see these things as opportunity rather than disaster. Its not as if he were fleeing Syria. He's in a safe place with the chance to see the town. Sadly, this does mean he won't be home today, which also means we won't be able to make our appointment with the Questura tomorrow for his 'permission to sojourn'. Plus, I just miss him. In an odd way, I wish I was there with him. We are much better dealing with these sorts of set-backs together.

Christopher tells me that the lines for getting your flights charged are interminable, and apparently because it was a national issue with electricity the airlines are taking no responsibility for getting passengers to their destinations... On the up side, their French is very good!
