Afternoon toast, hope you are well
Nope can't get into sat24 either.
Not expecting anything, but hubs is cooking chicken strips and quick french fries for lunch. Just need a glass of something to make it pub lunchy. Beautiful day if i may say so and no i'm not checking every five minutes to see if anything is building. Getting a light breeze now too. yummy.
Good afternoon Dami! Im all well thanks you! Hows you been? Thats odd it seems to be working for me? though i mostly use there android app now. Storms seem to be making great progress through bay of biscay and into france, looks like they could make it into the channel in the next couple of hours.... Though we have seen them side step past us at this point before but lets just keep our fingers crossed for now eh!

Great skies toward Birmingham - currently near Leamington. Now casting for a bit and just figuring what the heck to do!
I would wait around that area, maybe travel a bit further north? got a feeling something will form around there in a hour or two...
