In Bruges. Not the film; we’re actually in Bruges, on its cobbled streets with a thin mist rising from the canals.

We’ve been coming here for many years, realising only as we made our way here this time that this trip marks the 20th anniversary of our first visit. All but the first time have been in December, when both the lights and the cold are at their most numinous.

So much has changed here in the two decades, and yet so little. And we have changed too across those years, so much but also so very little.

Bruges-la-Morte, a city in perpetual decay that somehow escapes death—this city will exist long after all those currently here, including the two of us, turn away from the thin mist on the canals and from the cobbled streets, and cease to exist.

⏳ Time is such a Twisted Beast! When I realize that someone that was 25 in the year 2000 is now 50 years old my head explodes ⌛️

A post made on the weekend - a “weird abundance” of ruminations on time, electric cars and ageing

the time will pass in any case (and it will take you five minutes to read all this)

So time wafts away, so quickly, even for those of you in your twenties and thirties. Everyone I meet is saying, “Where is the year going?” I may have already mentioned here that last ye…

That thing where you see they've commissioned a nifty mural on a gable-end, realise you can see your old bedroom window in the photo and then realise that wasn't visible from there when you lived across the road

Alexander Fleming mural unveiled in Ayrshire town to mark anniversary

As part of celebrations to mark 100 years since the discovery of penicillin, a mural to Alexander Fleming has been unveiled in Darvel.

Daily Record
At the end of all days, only what we carry within remains—memories, regrets, perhaps peace. The statue, bowed under the weight of time, seems to rest within itself, silently accepting the course of life. The roses, delicate and fleeting, remind us that beauty exists even in decay. Transience and permanence united in a quiet moment between stone and bloom.

Am Ende aller Tage bleibt nur das, was wir in uns tragen – Erinnerungen, Reue, vielleicht Frieden. Die Statue, gebeugt von der Last der Zeit, scheint in sich zu ruhen, als würde sie den Lauf des Lebens still akzeptieren. Die Rosen, zart und vergänglich, erinnern daran, dass selbst im Verfall Schönheit existiert. Vergänglichkeit und Beständigkeit vereint in einem stillen Moment zwischen Stein und Blüte.
