8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's east coast. Tsunami has been generated, with waves hitting Russia, Japan and Hawaii so far. Thankfully, waves aren't very big and the warning systems are doing their job.
Just put this on the calendar for next year. 12th August, 2026 a total solar eclipse which should be easily visible from my roof, or the golf course bar, maybe. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/spain?iso=20260812
Useless information alert. The Service tree (native British Tree) provides berries that used to be used to make beer and gets its name from cerveza meaning beer. Its alternate name is the checker tree…believed to be why so many pubs are called the Chequers. If you can prove this is wrong I don’t want to know…because I like these ‘facts’

After all the will they, won’t they, should they, shouldn’t they arguments around Masterchef, I see it aired yesterday. For the sake of the competitors as it’s important to them. I am really pleased that it is being shown as I tend to get quite involved with it. I love seeing what “ordinary” people can do in the kitchen and love watching their improvement as the series progresses. Watched episode one on catch-up but will probably tune in for tonight’s episode.
Torrevieja sea front. Some guy dropped a bottle and in his effort to recover it from between the rocks, he has fallen between them and got stuck. Fire brigade on-site having to lift some pretty big rocks to get him out. He’s said to be okay. Probably embarrassed as feck.
There are circumstances where one needs a rope tied around one's ankles, this bottle recovery attempt is one of them. Dive in.
This is 6 miles away from us , near where Mrs J was brought up . I hope this was an accident , not Arson . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g6dzxdpd7o
