My mother and sister are in Amsterdam right now (they are, ironically, the two people in my family least able to appreciate Amsterdam's... shall we say... unique?... culture). I'm not worried about them (they are smart women who can take care of theirselves) but this might delay their return on Sunday.

I admit that I will be a little more nervous than usual when they do fly back.

Anyone else affected by this? How are our European CM friends doing right now?

What can you expect? It's the lava-ish lifestyle.

It's good to see they are keeping a sense of humor about it - but sometimes, that's all you can do.

Yeah... I wouldn't mind it at all, but like I said, they are the two people in my family least able to appreciate it. They're just there to look at flowers and paintings. Now me?, I would spend some time looking at the flowers and paintings.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I'd probably spend a lot of time looking at the flowers and paintings.

It should be white asparagus season still. I'd spend my time eating.

Status: offline 		But it is interesting to see nature, raw nature, the workings of this planet, once again brings humanity to a standstill. Well, at least without all those gas turbines in the air, the air quality should be better and to those who worry about the breathing difficulties in these conditions, perhaps they will breathe free'er to some extent.

On another note, sunrise this morning, the sky was a bit different and the early morning light was kind of weak, diffused perhaps.

Status: offline 		here in the North East of England we're onto our second day of no flights. So far it's been quiet (no planes overhead) and one of the most beautiful blue sky days we've had this year - warm, with fresh air and hardly a breeze.

If this is what happens when volcanoes erupt in mainland Europe, then I think the EU should reverse the no smoking ban!
