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.

Flights are still grounded in the UK, and across a lot of Europe.The news are reporting how many people can't travel, can't get to where they need to be, and maybe 5% of those stories are actually worth reporting. The ash cloud is expected to come back over the country and sit here for several more days, with no change of wind direction to take it away. Every so often outside tastes faintly of sulphur.

Still, it's a beautiful day. I'm going to do some shopping for things I need, and then probably sit outside with my laptop and notes and do some writing. No clouds (of the water-based variety) are expected above me today, so I think it's worth making the most of that.

So, there's a volcano spewing crap everywhere, Iceland is in meltdown (and not in the financial sense this time), flights are grounded all over Europe, but there was an upside: we were promised a beautiful sunset. What utter bollocks that was. Boo hiss.
