Dust sensor readings peaking over 800

Just for comparison, we had a dust storm from N. Africa pass overnight. I'm fairly sure these figure are true, sensors all over Crete recorded similar values. It was definitely time to shut all windows and put air filters on.

Thanks for that Ben. I did download and read the released document. Is there a link for the unabridged version please?

Thanks for that link, and it now has the full document available. I've just noticed the 2016 kink in the solar installations, when the last government nearly killed the solar industry. Thankfully it recovered. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696f8a...

Καλήμερα. NW wind today but we peaked at 160ppm last night. Reversible air-conditioning is fairly standard here, but surplus wood from the annual olive pruning is common and cheap.

When the neighbours light up their olive wood fired somba

Καλά Χριστούγεννα from Greece. Send us some of that Liverpool rain please!

Καλά Χριστούγεννα from Greece!

I hear tRump has declared commas to be a terrorist organisation; he is having them all arrested and deported. Full stops are next
(What would Bluesky be without dag?)

A similiar situation here in Crete. Search for Aposelemis dam. Built 10 years ago, submerging a village, but now almost dry, exposing the remains of the village.

Have you investigated Martins bank archives? Lots of old photos and interesting articles, www.martinsbank.co.uk/Welcome.htm

Χρόνια πολλά from Greece!

Have a search on YouTube for "Clickspring". He's spent years hand making a copy of the more complicated greek Antikithera mechanism, documenting his work as he goes. Another work of art!

Sadly not in stock at my friendly local electronics shop in Greece.... who currently show 419 different Analog Devices ICs online.

Some explanation from our government would be welcome...

The answer is 42

Thank you sir. I have to ask, have you been giving Judge Boasberg lessons in clarity? This is far easier to read (for a layman) than other rulings I've seen.

More photos of the Cunard shell works buried away on Historic England website.

There are many old books and records of Liverpool hidden away on archive.org , free to download.

It's Μπακλαβάς here in an eastern part of Greece!

Really enjoying your commentary. Thank you sir!

There are many more photos of the city's iconic buildings there, search for Liverpool and tick the "with images" box. I think many were done for the builders or architects shortly after completion, by the city's best photographers of the time.

Καλημέρα from Greece. Yes, all four, but Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast for training courses!

Yes, do it, or move back to Europe!. We have basic grab bags, but they are in case of an earthquake here in Greece.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Thirded - TT doesn't seem to do captions or subtitles and some of us have poor hearing!

Sir, I appreciate all your posts, and the speed of creating a video, but why Tiktok? Some of your followers have hearing difficulties and TT doesn't do captions! YT auto-captioning isn't perfect, but it's mostly correct.

Now look what you've started.. mid-70 onward, online service via dial-up and 110 baud teleprinter, Nascom-2, american Slicer CP/M86 with 8" hd (they were cheap), Osbourne 1, bare PC clone made from asst bits (couldn't afford a case), 30 years of assorted home-built PCs, and now a Pi 5 as desktop.
