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.

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
