Iceland had a volcanic eruption last week and the dust cloud started to come over Europe causing all flights to be cancelled, not since the 1800's has the sky been so clear. A man said that the dust could stop all four engines from working, basically the plane could fall out of the sky. The Daily Star newspaper didn't help by saying a plane had got into trouble flying into the cloud, this was after the air restriction had been lifted. Worried this would cause panic, the paper was taken off the shelves and it is highly unlikely the airport will be selling this paper again.
Lots of people got stranded abroad, especially in the States. The ferries did a roaring trade, and a passenger liner went out to pick people up. I am reading 'Lovely Bones' at the moment, and its a good book. I didn't see any lurid sunsets that we were supposed to get because of this volcano, perhaps I didn't look hard enough.
