After all the cancelled flights due to weather, people trying to get to #Alderney who have been stuck in Guernsey for 3 days are stranded yet again. The #Aurigny #Skybus Twin Otter went tech today. Senior management of both companies need firing.

Flight cancelled again. No flights out of Guernsey today. All flights full until Monday. Feeling sad, frustrated, and over- caffeinated.

Feels like I spend my life in airports wondering whether my flight will go. There's only so much coffee even a caffeinated hamster can tolerate.

Aurigny cancelled all Alderney and Guernsey flights this afternoon because of "weather" but light aircraft pilots have been flying all afternoon to and from Alderney and Cherbourg, Lee on Solent, and Guernsey. There is nothing wrong with the weather.

Appalling service from #Aurigny today 22nd October. Cancelled flights this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Just removed them from the schedule without notifying passengers. I know it's weather but at least communicate with your passengers 🤬

Good morning! Here is your #Aurigny #Alderney flight update for today. Basically, you're stuffed.

This is one consequence of the failure of #Aurigny to run a viable service from #Alderney. Hospital appointments are missed, blood test services have to be repeated, doctors don't get here, and emergency cases don't get to Guernsey. Someone is going to die one day as a direct result.

In St Peter Port (Guernsey) harbour, the replica of Magellan's Nao Victoria. To have circumnavigated the globe on that tiny ship, with 17 crew on the last leg, was incredible.

else in our family grave in Spain. So we reinterred all of them in six niches (in the church) and added the names of those Dad was sure were in there (he was an eyewitness). Maybe what matters is a dignified burial, whoever they may be, hoping those fear to you are among them. 2/2

I woke up late, to silence. It's raining outside. I'm staying in bed reading the most excellent cowboy novel (nearly 950 pages). I may be some time getting up.

A paperback book, 'Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurty, with an image of a cowboy on horseback, lies against a duvet with a purple willow pattern. In the background, a window and a rainy day.

Skybus/Aurigny plane reg G-CEWM gone tech again. This is what happens when you use museum pieces to run a service. Meanwhile, the Finistair flight using a modern cessna grand caravan has taken off on time to Jersey. I know which plane I'd rather fly. #Alderney #Aurugny

Ohhh Pence, I sympathise too. We will just have to hang on with survival strategies until the carnivals are over and these incomers leave. In the meantime, I recommend 📚 and🍷. Plenty of both.

Unveiled this evening in Palma, Mallorca. Remembering the civilian victims of republican bombardment during the Spanish Civil War, my great aunt and her son among them (names marked). My cousins attended. I wish I could have gone.

Finally, the Balearic government will recognise civilian victims of the Republican bombardments of Mallorca during the Civil War with a monument, to be dedicated on 27th July. My great aunt, Maria Ana Picornell Mayol, her 15 yr old son Alfonsito, and all those who died with them on 31 May 1937 1/2
