Gooooooooooooooooood Morning Belgium ! Shall we see anything other than grey soon ? No change at all ... total grey sky today ... possible blue on north-west part. Temperatures still quite mild for the season with 6 to 10 degrees maximum in the afternoon ! Not ideal for good mood ! 😕 Zero tolerance, zero alcohol when driving ... will most probably be part of future government discussions. When witnessing so many people still driving after drinking and thinking nothing will ever happen ... Would it be that bad if new law gets strict enough to prevent more deaths ? 🤔 A little sunshine during these dark days ... coming from SNCB/NMBS announcing 50% discount train tickets as end-of-year special promotion for return tickets bought on same day. Great news allowing you to avoid driving ... 😉 So how are you today folks ? 😎 Tuesdays proving to be more and more boring and least attractive day of the week ... especially when weather isn't helping ! 😁 How could we possibly cheer you up for today ? 😇 Shall we use our good mood to bring more fun into your day ? Shall we send you our morning smiles to try making you as happy as possible today ? Maybe ... 😂 But the most efficient way to do it is definitely to share a good morning coffee together even if we're not facing each other 😛. The best way to start sharing some positive spirit with the perspective of bringing joy into people's lives today. Smiling before even stepping out is the key to reach work with such energy that everyone will feel it pretty quickly. Your day at work will surely exceed expectations ! 😊 Can your Tuesday magically turn into something unexpected ? Only you can make it happen ... and since you're the best ... 🤩 Enjoy your Tuesday to the max ! Cheers to all ! 😃

May 1st is an important day in Germany, celebrated both as Labor Day and as a traditional May holiday. Traditions and celebrations take place alongside Labor Day activities. Which of these customs are you familiar with? 1. Tanz in den Mai: The night from April 30th to May 1st is known as "Tanz in den Mai". Many people celebrate this transition with music, dancing, and parties. In some regions, a May fire is lit, and people gather to celebrate together. 2. Raising the Maypole: In many regions of Germany, a Maypole is raised, often decorated with colorful ribbons and wreaths. This custom is particularly common in rural areas and smaller towns. The Maypole symbolizes growth and fertility and is often accompanied by music and traditional dances. 3 May Gifts and Maypoles for Loved Ones:  Another custom involves giving May gifts, often in the form of flowers or small trees. In some areas, young men place a decorated Maypole in front of their beloved's door as a sign of affection. 4. Labor Day: May 1st is a public holiday in Germany, known as "Tag der Arbeit".
