Takes work to hang ribbons in the sky

[sovay]

I appreciate having the kind of friends who know to tell me when something weird and potentially explosive goes on with a ship: "They're taking the masts of the Doomsday Ship away."

The rest of my day so far has involved plans not working out and the top half of my phone spontaneously breaking off, so I am going to finish this mug of soup before Autolycus can and take a walk.

I'm 300ft up a hill, so fairly safe from tsunamis, it's the gentle patter of white phosphorous bomblets that might leave a mark

Well, you still seem to be here, which I'm taking as a good sign?

So far, so good. There was quite a bit of explosive rumbling, followed by deluges of water this afternoon, but that was the series of thunderstorms.

I don't know when they're due to finish the work, but if I get through tomorrow then I'm safe for the next fortnight as I'm off to visit my family at the other end of the country.
