****ing double glazing but still couldn't sleep, up at 0400 and took dug for a walk, he looked at me and gave me the get to **** eyes. Thankfully my high fencing is still intact but not so good for my wee Sister as when walking the dog past her rear garden I noticed her 20 ft long and 10 ft high fence was turned into match sticks, she doesn't know yet 😳

On the positive front, my hair was fine because I have little to none and there are so far no trampolines in my back garden 😁

Seeing stories of some of the planes diverted yesterday. One took off from Manchester to Dublin tried to land at Belfast them Glasgow and eventually landed in Liverpool, 3 hours to fly Manchester to Liverpool.

Another was going Manchester to Dublin but had to land in Paris

I had tickets to Edinburgh castle today and got an email to check for updates on whether it was open on a twitter account not used since 2021 and there is nothing on their web site . I have asked for my booking to be changed to tomorrow since ScotRail have given up and cancelled all trains.

They update this regularly says they are checking it, I'd be very surprised if it was open today.

Nightmare Flight: After 60 Hours & 3 Diversions TUl Passengers Finally Make It To Madeira

Flight BY2536 departed Manchester Airport
(MAN) at 08:48 on Friday morning en route to Madeira Funchal Airport (FNC). However, due to bad weather, the aircraft could not land in Madeira that day, diverting to Porto Santo Airport (PXO) overnight. The next day, the aircraft took off for Madeira, but poor weather would again foil attempts to land, so the flight diverted to Tenerife South Airport (TFS).

After sitting on the apron for around four hours, the flight again attempted to land at Madeira but was again unable to land. On this occasion, the aircraft was in the air for over three hours, repeatedly circling Madeira before returning to Tenerite overnight.

Maybe it's an Elon Musk thing as I don't have an account, but I can't see any updates on there either. Thanks for letting me know though

A Glasgow to Bristol fight was diverted to land in Paris - of course, many passengers didn't have international travel documents, so couldn't leave the terminal overnight!

At least they'll smell nice by the time they get here.

Cheers, got my ticket changed to tomorrow morning. Hopefully the trains are back on, they weather looks better in the morning before getting worse again in the evening.
