Weather has been pretty wild in Barcelona over last 24 hours. Now at airport waiting for a miraculously not hugely delayed flight home.

Bit of a fail on the planned 'light lunch' in Barcelona today. Never mind- more wine on the way to help out...

So. Any recommendations for a good breakfast/brunch spot in central Barcelona?

Made it to Barcelona. Finally took off nearly 6 hrs late after serious delays due thunderstorms around Barcelona and then once we reboarded, were told we had another 2 hr ATC delay due military exercises in French airspce. Been a very long day but so happy to be here.

So good news, I'm off to Barcelona today. Bad news- thunderstorms downroute mean 3.5 hr delay. More good news- my husband blagged us back into the lounge with a sob story about excessive delays. Now reboarded and waiting for our second attempt at departure.

A fabulous night in Brighton on Friday watching the still phenomenal St Etienne on their farewell lap. What a night!

Here's the best of our images from last night. Most from the telescope with the picture of totality taken by phone. Still to download camera images. Can't take credit- all the work of my clever husband.

Currently watching the eclipse from a hillside in Guadalajara. 20% so far - getting some incredible images from Mr M's telescope.

Back in Madrid ahead of an eclipse watching mission tomorrow night. Lots of very happy memories of an amazing year here as an Erasmus student back in the '90s.

Sitting in my garden in Hove and am able to hear Fatboy Slim playing on Brighton Beach as the wind's blowing in the right direction. I love living here so much.

Re-watching Jurassic Park for the first time in twenty years in honour of Sam Neill. Had completely forgotten the added bonus of late career performances from Bob Peck and Richard Attenborough. And Jeff Goldblum steals the show.
