Mornin all,a bit damp and grey here.  .Off for a bit of shopping later,then car washing.Did any of you 'twitchers' out there see the BBC programme about St Kilda last night.Very interesting about Skuas and Storm Petrels. 
Have a great day whatever you're doing. 


Edit,The programme was Britains lost world and if you missed it,BBC i player(Its worth watching)

Morning Phil (and everyone). Yes, I've watched both of the St Kilda programmes, and they're quite fascinating.

Morning.
Bit overcast, but mild and calm.
Missed the St. Kilda progs., fascinating place, hope they repeat it sometime.

Nothing special on today, a bit of tidying in the TD Towers estates, and then a wee snooze.

[UncleUB]

@ TD,you can stream the programme from here,or download and watch if your internet connection speed is quite fast.

Thanks for the link, unkyUb.

Just tried to view the prog, but it is telling me that it can be viewed only on IE or Firefox........and heres me an Opera man.
Not quite sure why this should be, but that is it.

Downloading would take ages at my connection speed, supposed to be on broadband but it is no quicker than my old dial up    Will have to move house into the town to do any better. It's ridiculous, the line from the exchange to here is only 165 metres and yet I'm on snails pace.

Off to mow grass now.

Damp and grey here in Weston super Mare too.

Still, next week I'm going for a break (with she who must be obeyed !!) to Torquay, so it's bound to be nice then. The week after, I'm off to see Radiohead in Berlin on 8 July; don't know where we'll be staying yet - any ideas.

Well, aren't I the well travelled broadband user.

I hope everyone has a good day.

TL,
You could try this place, should have vacancies now that the original owner has departed.

Your concert is at Kindl Bühne Wuhlheide and there is a link here showing details of several hotels near the venue .....

Alternatively  :-

Formula 1 Hotels are cheap and cheerful plastic palaces, but if it's only a place to lay your head they are VERY reasonably priced (per room) for 2 adults + child up to 12 yrs.

OR

Ibis  (similar set-up) have several dotted about Berlin  ..
