Fire
A big fire, two blocks from here on the busy Avenue Christophe-Coulomb, fills the air with smoke. About 10 appartments are demolished, first by the fire and then by the fire brigade that opened all the walls and floors to extinguish the fire completely. About 25 fire trucks, a lot of police and a tangle of fire hoses coming from fire hydrants a couple of blocks away. Fortunately there where no casualties, but losing your house is not fun. And people are often not insured (we aren’t, although we will when we buy our house) so it sometimes means you have lost everything you own.
The electricity is also interupted, also in our house, so we had to postpone the activity we had planned: getting rid of the bugs in our pantry. While we were away in Europe they multiplied like mad. The whole house was filled with pantry moths…

Ik haat insecten! Zijn ze alleen maar in de keuken? Misschien moeten jullie “pest control” bellen..!
En das wel een mooie foto!!
