About five miles from where our house is as the crow flies, is a village called Wotter.

In this village is a farm and at this farm is a barn.

In this barn is stored some 15 tonnes of fertiliser and various other gubbins.

Ordinarily, this doesn't cause us any issues, but sadly this afternoon the barn caught fire and the fire is still going strong. The fire brigade are there, but they can't get in close in case the fertiliser explodes.

Nearby villages are either already evacuated or about to be, due to the risk of explosion and/or a toxic cloud.

I think it's a given that I'll be keeping my windows closed tonight, just in case. Because I don't know about you guys, but I don't really fancy the idea of a toxic cloud invading my personal space, and we all know what Dexter thinks of things that are toxic as well...

In other news, I have my health MOT at 7.00am tomorrow morning. Oh, that's going to be fun...

I hope so too - on the local news they said it's been declared a major incident. And they're talking about it taking 48 hours to be extinguished!
