Went to check on the GoPro that I left running on the roof and predictably it had stopped recording at some point..
But caught the main show at least (so far?)

Before last night, I didn’t think it was possible for Mo Salah to go up any further in the estimation of Liverpool supporters. To do what he did last night takes courage. Seemed like a really cathartic moment for both him and the fans.
Horrifying.
Plane from Minneapolis to Toronto upside down on the runway.
The word from the airport is, “All passengers and crew are accounted for.”
Praying that means they are okay.
This is Wroclaw in Poland Christmas market. No diversity barriers, no terrorism police patrolling, no muggings & go home without having to look over your shoulder.
Today is public holiday in Spain and literally thousands of people in Valencia came out to help the victims of the October 29 disaster armed with shovels and brooms.
A flood of people against the flood of water.
@wizzair absolutely atrocious experience trying to rectify a booking. Your 'bots' don't work, call centre staff unhelpful and charged £1.50 + per minute. I am also unable to submit a formal complaint as your website blocks it! #WizzAir#poorcustomerservice
37 years ago today, October 15th, 1987. The Great Hurricane struck.
Michael Fish said during a forecast: "Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way. Well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!" 🤦🏻♀️

A few small charities have asked me if they can use this video. I am happy for any UK registered charity to use it providing there is no implication thay I am recommending that specific charity. There is a version of the video on MSEs You Tube which will make it easy to embed if you want.
Hurricane Milton has restrengthened into a monster Category 5 storm with 165 mph sustained winds and gusts over 200 mph.
The storm looks to making a run again toward one of the strongest hurricanes we have ever seen in the Atlantic.
Part of the problem with winter fuel payments is the chronic underclaiming of Pension Credit, a key benefit that now triggers entitlement. It's thought 880,000 due it won't get it, and they're the poorest pensioners.
I doubt the awareness raising campaign can have much impact on that (I and others have been shouting about it until we're blue in the face, for years)
It needs proactive one on one contacting of likely candidates, eg those not getting full state pensions.
Yet even that is hard because there are so many scams targeting elderly how do you ensure people trust that it is legit?
I'd be interested in your ideas on how to reach the hard to reach pensioners who may be eligible.
Today I visited the asylum seeker and refugee charity in Liverpool that was defended from far-right violence by huge numbers this week
They are painting over their boarded up windows and hoping to reopen in a couple of weeks
