Anyone remember the volcano?

[innocent_lex]

A while ago, in an age almost lost in the mists of time, the news was overwhelmed by news of an erupting volcano. We knew every detail, had volcanologists and geologists and meteorologists and other -ologists (that people previously never knew existed) on the telly, the radio, the news, the internet... all telling us in fascinating detail about this wondrous and fascinating force of nature.

And then planes were allowed to fly again.

Since then, no news on the volcano. Is it still erupting? Nobody will tell us, nobody cares, it's apparently no longer interesting. Huh.

Actually there was a report on the news here yesterday saying the eruption is less huge now, that the winds are blowing differently but they are worried because the other volcano called Hekla (yes, they call this one by name ;) keeps giving signs of wanting to wake up.

Yep, I googled it yesterday to find out what was happening and found this news. It is weird the way the news people suddenly lost all interest.

It was so abrupt. There are still stories about backlogs of flights, and people stuck places, but as far as the volcano goes someone might as well have stuck a cork in it!

Believe me when I say the darned thing hasn't been off my mind for longer than a few hours at a time.

LOL!

Shhhhhh! Don't wake the bloody thing. I tell you what, if the next door neighbour volcano raises its head and erupts, it will be *your fault*!!

(But yes, I do get what you mean. I heard it's decided to keep itself a bit nice. Or something).

Actually, I think these days geothermal events are caused by uncontrolled breasts. So as long as no women jump up and down too much, we should be fine.

Oh. Whew. A voice of reason at last. Huzzah for sports bras!

I found some absolutely gorgeous pictures of the Aurora Borealis going off above it that were taken three days ago (ignore the site I found them on; they're still gorgeous).

Thanks for that, it really is beautiful. I'll even forgive you the source...
