Here is something odd. We went to Brussels on Tuesday, and once we had settled in tHe hotel, we went to the centre of the city. We walked past a bar where, last time we were there, we had a beer or several with Simon Aughton.

Simon no longer lives in Brussels - he's moved to Switzerland. However, as we walked past, he was there, and caught up with us. He was in town on a visit, and spotted me as I waked past. I don't know the odds of that happening, but it was a rather good surprise. Neither of us knew the other's plans to visit Brussels, so one big chance happening.

We had beer.
