Despite a not very promising start, the movers finished up today, and we are now back where we started: in the Infotel in downtown Mons. The temps have dropped to the mid 80s outside, but not in our unairconditioned 3rd floor room. I can see by the clock in the belfry that it's 10:20 pm.
I mentioned the movers. On day 1 of a 2-day move, the packout crew arrived at 9 am. One guy. At 1 pm two more showed up. The next day, two guys arrived. Just after noon, a second pair came with the truck. They loaded seven crates in about 5 hours. I sent them away with a eight-pack of Jupe, which is what we call Jupiler, the local favorite pilsner. It's brewed by AB-Inbev, the folks who bought Anheuser Busch. Even the driver had one. I wasn't wild about the idea, but he did. I even said, "Yours will be for tonight at home." He said, "Aw, just one." I've drunk beer on a hot sweaty job before. In the heat, it feels like it's not even affecting you. And you don't have to pee.

This reads like a similar review of our movers' experience a week ago -- sans the beer. Actually ours went very well. Welcome to the semi-homeless way of life. At least your hotel living is only 10 days.
just goes to show that you're never too old to learn something new: beer is good.
