le train numéro ---, en provenence de Paris Gare du Nord...

...rentre en gare, quai numéro --, à 15h24. Bienvenue à Lille-Europe!

I'm in Belgium for the next few days (via Eurostar to Lille) visiting a friend...Ghent, Brugge, Ypres, maybe the seaside. I did a lot of work yesterday and feel better generally about the PhD, which is the way of it. And now I'm going to read articles on the train, write some ideas, and listen to new music. And write postcards, as always. And come home ready to do more work. As always.
