Day 512 - 18th August 2008

Since I did nothing, and I mean nothing more than just tie up a few loose ends work-wise and watch the Olympics today; I thought it wise to get a picture of the GB cycling team, who won us another gold medal today. That makes twelve, so we're still third in the rankings.

Like I said, there's not much else to talk about really. Oh, except that there's been an explosion at the nearby refinery. I think I have mentioned before the high pollution levels in the area, well today they have just gone up a notch. I received a phone call telling me to keep the phone lines free, and if the emergency siren sounds, close and tape up all windows and doors.

Luckily, it all came to nothing. No siren sounded, no second call came; research on my part has since found out that a small explosion caused a fire in the chlorine production facility, but it was quickly and safely put out. There were no injuries or fatalities.

So, I can go to bed breathing clean air, and a sigh of relief - goodnight.
