Hanging out under the sword of Damocles

Well the Volcano is still errupting which means the ban on flights in and out of the UK is going to be extended again until tomorrow at the very least. Apparently the cloud of ash will completely cover the UK at.... well as of 1 hour 23 minutes ago ( very precise for the weather service isn't it?) which means that the only way in and out of the country right now is by ferries and the eurostar which are apparently completely booked up.

There's a real sense of unreality to the whole thing. Firstly in that it's really really quiet outside as after more then twenty years of living near a airport it's noticeable that the planes aren't flying and secondly in that we can't see this 'cloud' at all from the ground. In fact we had blazing sunshine and clear blue skies today. There wasn't a cloud in the sky.

It's kind like hanging around under a invisible sword of damocles ( what do you mean you have no idea what that is? google it!) We can't see it but it's up there.

The new episode of Doctor Who tonight was okay, I can see what they were aiming for but it didn't quite work in my opinon. Still it gave some interesting clues to the series overall arc. Just why can't Amy remember?

anyway,

Later folks.
