the lava from the volcano is under 100 to 400 feet of ice.apparently the more ice melt the more the ash will shoot upwards as it will have superheated steam behind it.they are all on red alert now.meanwhile italy and other countries in europe have the horrendous storms and tornadoes.serbia has a lot of damaged buildings,200 so far.;

there is a nasty looking low heading for the uk which could bring some more storms.sorry i cant share any linksxxx

When my old girlfriend's computer was doing something similar, it turned out that it was set for an American keyboard.

I believe certain symbols are in different places to UK ones.

Is that a possibility, as didn't you say the other day you had to reinstall everything?

Not particularly a birder -
Easy safe predator free nest sites, ample food supplies, such as those discarded pizzas.
Rural gulls are on the decline part of which is being blamed on changes in farming and fishing practises, but urban populations are more than making up for it.
I live in a port town and am rarely bothered by them (though a few years back I lived down beside the quay and they were more of a nuisance particularly when the fishing boats were unloading.)

We live 70 miles from the nearest coast and we have loads of seagulls here

I can see an extinct one from here - usually its just part of the landscape ... but makes me wonder what it would have been like when the darn thing was active (that is before the last Ice- Age so not any time recent BTW)

Would that be Ben Nevis MG ?
I would love to live there

Might be Arthurs Seat BB.

Where are the extinct volcanoes in the UK? Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh I know about, have walked around up there, nice little pub at the end of the walk, village by a loch, name escapes me?

The Sheep Heid Inn at Duddingston?

Ducks head and sneaks out hoping nobody spotted me de-lurking.....

I saw ya delurking! Yes, that must be it, I later recalled that the village's name began with a 'D', although the pub name has been lost to the mists of time..............

Going to work on the allotment today, moving towards getting it ready for next year, inc starting to bring manure in over the next couple of months. Will also be adding some more water to the water stash up there (there is piped water for 6 months of the year, potable if someone hasn't contaminated the tap, but it relies on electricity to move it, as does most water). The idea of having a few 2 litre bottles up there is a back-up stash in case the several stashes at the homestead were compromised.

Will also be drying out me onions (oo-err missus) if we get some hot sun today. We have sun at the moment but given how fast the showers cycle across, that could change several times today.

I shall keep most of the onions in the allotment shed, hung up in those knitted-type orange nets. With onions, you are best to eat the biggest ones first, esp any with a thick neck, as they don't keep so well as the smaller ones. Sort-of the reverse of potatoes, really.

I shall grade them by size and scoff the biggies first, I reckon.

As with all stored produce, best to keep a regular eye on it to make sure that nothing is starting to rot and infect its neighbours.
