VOLCANOES! So hot they're hellacool!

Better to at least be in the right country/a train ride away from your destination than stuck on the other side of the world, no?

holiday destination vs airport arrival lounge trying to buy same-day train tickets?

Congrats Nick! (sorry about the flight tho obviously)

yes!! ^^

Icelandic volcano suddenly erupts with congratulations to Nick and Em! (And sends deadly lava in my direction if I misremembered mrs. Nick's name)

Oh, I missed that bit! Congratulations Nick!

saw one plane this afternoon high up, then nothing for the rest of the evening. reminded me of that final scene in 28 days

it's all go now

reminded me of that final scene in 28 days

"The major barrier to resuming flight has been understanding tolerance levels of aircraft to ash," the CAA said.

"Manufacturers have now agreed increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas."

Maybe I'm misreading this but to me it stinks of "fuck it this is getting out of hand, let's just chance it". The risk hasn't gone down, it's been "reassessed" - meaning they've decided it's now ok to fly the same planes through the same ash.

Finally iceland may get a taste of its own medicine

that's kind of the equivalent of spitting out the car window and having your loogie come back and hit you in the face

I know they fucked up the banks and I know they gave us Sigur Ros but I'm not sure the volcano thing is deliberate.

These cunts didn't even attempt to get the name right

That's fucking wild.

A visualisation of the northern European airspace returning to use after being closed due to volcanic ash. Due to varying ash density across Europe, the first flights can be seen in some areas on the 18th and by the 20th everywhere is open.

wow, thought all that had blown over :-/

Been stuck in Spain with two flights cancelled since Monday. V weird, you go from anger to acceptance to enjoying more time in the sun (I'm in my parents place so can keep travelling back from airport) to worry about next flight. Work are being good tho and tomorrow is another day. Did get a lovely sunny eve today and a relaxing swim in the sea then pool then shower. Want to be back at work tho!

Volcano season in full swing :(

Thousands flee volcanos in Ecuador and Guatemala
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes as two volcanos erupted in Guatemala and Ecuador.

In Guatemala, the Pacaya volcano began spewing lava, rocks and debris on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring more than 50 others.

In Ecuador, the Tungurahua volcano forced the evacuation of seven villages and shut the airport and schools in Guayaquil, the country's largest city.

the blog post this tweet links to is interesting!

I'll start: volcanic ash is not fluffy, or smoke. It is pulverized rock/glass/crystals with VERY different hazards. More: https://t.co/T2JCs99zDN pic.twitter.com/iG5EGztZI7
