That it is a Saturday is relatively evident from the empty carpark of the office block just to the north and the presence of the same in the shopping area opposite. One other approach needs good local knowledge (such as the presence of a bouncy castle in the garden next door to my own house in Brussels, making the white blob in the shade me weeding my garden: this is such a rare occurance I can place it to about 1000 on the day in question).
