One thing I thought this morning is how this tepresents the invasion of work into our home lives again. The lovely wife was informed it would be unsafe to travel in, so she would be working from home. Not have the day off, just working from home.

73 is the number of photos of my dog I will post

Absolutely no idea where that Qatar A380 has gone. Over Sevenoaks now, going west. Oh wait, changed his mind & heading back north to the flight path now. Just fannying around I guess, gotta to do something to pass the time.

Possibly circling waiting for his bosses decide whether to let him have another go or just divert off to Paris or somewhere less fraught.

Well to be fair if the pilot keeps circling the home counties commuter towns, it just increases the risk of high-flying bins taking out a wing or something while someone screams at him for stealing their bin.

Apparently something was diverted to Athens earlier. Which would be a nightmare.

The guy on the stream mentioned that they only get 3 attempts before they have to divert - I'm not sure if that's a full on rule at Heathrow or just best practice.

You do realise the area covered by the red warning for Eunice includes almost 40 million people, right?

I wasn't aware that there were 40 million people in London, Suffolk and Kent, no. Are you thinking of the amber warning?

The red warning as of last night covered everything from Land's End to The Wash, but even if you take "only" London and the southern Home Counties that's still >10M people, a sixth of the entire population of the UK.

Wish Princess Di stayed alive to die in a crash a few weeks before today. We went down the onramps in a tesco trolley back then because the roads were so empty, imagine doing that but with a bedsheet sail.

My outer window pane just cracked from the wind pressure.

Debating with myself whether to tell the landlord, it's somewhat small and I'll be moving out soon and need his reference next week (& he's a miser who would be pissed about it),

So badly want to take a wander over to Canning Town to watch the New Labour phylactery get Act-of-Godded (from the good side of the river, obviously) but I'd have to pass a dozen or more tall building sites with cranes and poo poo and that doesn't seem like a very sensible idea.

Absolutely no idea. Seems insanity. Guess closer airports were also at capacity?
