AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE AURORAS

MANCHESTER is near Warrington
Which direction will she set off in?

My daughter is driving back from Manchester, on Thursday. Geographically challenged, she could get lost circumnavigating our back garden (and it is so small it could be overlaid onto a postage stamp ;)

She has a SATnav, what could go wrong?

According to NASA, a massive cloud of particles, roughly equal to half the surface, has mushroomed off the sun.

Coronal mass ejections and solar flares lashing out all over the place, NASA says they should strike Earth from early this evening, 8th June through to 9th June.

Although the flare isn't heading directly for us, it could trigger auroras at high latitudes and cause minor disruptions to satellites.

It is a geomagnetic storm! 
It could trigger disturbances to Earth's power grids and GPS satellites.

Forget the fact that the flare could "lead to some re-routing of flights over the polar regions," my kid can get lost travelling along a ruler.

It’s not that I worry, obviously. I just hope Lanarkshire is nice this time of year ;)

I WONDER IF THEY MAKE COTTONWOOL COATS IN THE BABE'S SIZE?
Is there any easy age for children to be?
