  1st of May brought this panorama over the Harbour during the thunderstorm with P&O ferry 'Spirit of France' caught in the sunlight as she arrived through the eastern entrance.

  What a day a day makes. With a brisk north easterly and a fair high tide brought a sizeable sea swell in the harbour at lunchtime today leaving the Sea Sports Centre not far from the ...... eh sea!

  'This type of violence won't be tolerated' say Nottinghamshire Police. I'm relieved they haven't completely forbidden knocking each other about a bit.

  Ashford A&E continues to get at least some of its regular custom - although presumably baseball bats are now 2 metres long.

  Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

  Well this nearly cheered us up. The scheduled arrival of the ‘QUEEN VICTORIA’. No, not the pub all the way from Eastenders but the cruise liner.
  Schedule said it was arriving Dover yesterday evening (Tuesday). All agog I waited, camera at the ready. This is a cruise liner of ‘traditional’ shape (pointy front and nothing that resembles a tower block at the back - note the nautical terms I have honed over the years). This ‘was’ -more accurately ‘could’ - have been a first for Dover Port.
  
  Alas not to be. Out there in the channel it turned about when it got to glimpse our white cliffs, didn’t like the look of us, gave a hoot, and was gone back to whence it came. What a pity.

  A touch of ‘left hand down a bit’ I think Brian.
