Out on the bike. Weather mixed to say the least, scorching sun and 1/2 mile later thick sea mist.

I'm currently on the Bilbao to Rosslare ferry somewhere in the Lundy forecast area. It's the roughest sea journey I've been on in a while. Luckily I've got a cabin, I've been in it since 8pm last night and have no reason to leave. Only 4 more hours to go. From the Met Office shipping forecast:

Lundy
GALE WARNING
Issued: 15:51 (UTC) on Sun 24 Sep 2023
Southerly gale force 8 continuing

WIND
Southwest 7 or gale 8, decreasing 4 to 6.
SEA STATE
Rough or very rough, but moderate in east.
WEATHER
Rain at first.
VISIBILITY
Good, occasionally poor at first.

It would take about 40 hours to fill. And slightly cheaper to have delivered.

8 rafale jets just come over very low and very fast!
Normally (in the last 6 years) only get 2 pairs, target/attack.
Guessing the Ukraine might be getting some old French tech fairly soon!

Ours not looking so pretty - half drained and few slabs lifted. Got to fully drain next week ready for the boys to cut in 2 new inlets, lift about 25% of the slabs and replace the buried pipework :thumbdown:
