Well seeing as I am in the UK, Western Scotland, and got up about half an hour ago and I had my windows open during night and my room was full of fog, and now sitting at my kitchen I can definetely see the cloud drifting. Well least I am not travelling today.

Does it smell of sulphur? (rotten egg smell)

 

[Lee Lawson]

You could say that.

Also the sunset is apparently going to be a lavander colour

I hope not, I am playing football then by Troon and that is at the sea kind of bit and I just hate foggy kind of weather.

Can't see anything weird, which is great, but disappointing. The world is ill! I love it how insurance companies are saying "we will not give you money, it's the will of God!".
