What? No penguins?
To think that we're complaining that the air is a bit too dry and cold over
here in Belgium. Two degrees centigrade and an easterly wind...
We had no real freezing this winter yet, just at night. Last winter also no
snow... We're only 4 degrees north of you and you're about the same latitude
as Budapest or central France. 

Stay warm, John
