It will remain dry today!

This morning the announcer of the regional emergency broadcast (why they still call it that I can’t understand!) had the following announcement: "Again a quiet day. A few grenades hit the Piushaven and a number of houses destroyed. The houses were empty so no-one was killed. Although it’s quiet, leave your house only in urgent need. The outside temperature is pleasant and it will remain dry the rest of the day. "

It keeps going on like this the whole month...

What is there to say after a long time about Tilburg? Nothing. Boring. Anyone who want to know, follow the news and already knows. And if one wants to ignore it, then they do and they will not to be disturbed. The residents are worrying less and less. It’s the way it is. It is impossible to predict like the structure of a song that’s build-up logically with verses and choruses. Try to write a ballad about Tilburg and the war. Perhaps when it all ends we can find a logical structure.
But no one is really worrying. They better don’t, otherwise you will not think of the small things that are indispensable, and were once so obvious: How do you make light? Where do you even find light? Who’s got food to trade? In trade for what? Leo two houses away, traded two eggs and a loaf of bread for some AA batteries yesterday (probably I could have made a fortune with the batteries). He had to get rid of them, I think, because other residents were keeping a constant watch on him for days. I'm curious what would have happened if they had known of my batteries!
At Leo’s, they're probably a listening to the radio now! Very important! That way Tilburg and its residents keep being informed. Otherwise we totally missed that the outside temperature was pleasant and it remained dry all day!
