Our "international family" (Scottish/Swedish) travel fairly regularly to visit family in the nordic countries, and after travelling through Oslo airport on Sunday, I cannot hold back anymore:
Edinburgh Airport @EDI_Airport is a national disgrace.

Hey @British_Airways just arrived on delayed BA1309, have missed BA430 but an email tells me we've been auto-rebooked on BA496 tomorrow morning. What about hotel and subsistence for me and my family (inc young kids)?

Forecasters at NOAA have issued a rare Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the first time since 2005.
A spectacular aurora is likely Friday night and into the weekend.
It's possible that satellite communications and power systems could be affected.
There's no need for me to inanely eulogise Steve Albini's passing - many others will do that - but Seamonsters by the @weddingpresent (a product of his production) remains my favourite early 90s record, perfect from start to finish, and deserves to be shared and celebrated. RIP.

Our tope satellite tag continues to drift, now 130km from the French coastline. Any assistance on it's recovery would be greatly appreciated π
