I have just skinned some belly pork and used my new smokey-flavoured curing salt to make some bacon. Should be ready to eat on Sunday.
While I had the scales, super-sharp knife and curing stuff out,I also made some Gravadlax. That'll be ready sooner - probably Saturday. Never tried making it before, but it can't be that tricky. Get salmon, salt it,leave it for a bit.

It's definitely raining now. Now the light show's waned it's not quite biblical but it's certainly more than dribblical.

Most of Northern Illinois has Tornado Warnings, heading toward Western Suburbs Chicago now. I have a Tornado Watch in my area.

I'm awake... Too early!! And it's probably not worth trying to go to sleep as I had to wake early at 5 to take one child to the train station anyway!

Still raining, still thundering , still lightening and it's warm again but the sun is due back at lunchtime.

I have coffee.

That's scary! when my boy was out there 2 years ago truck driving, he used to have to drive through towns that had been destroyed by tornados. Very scary.

A massive hail storm is on its way in a hour's time. We will be having a late start.

Following your route with great interest Rocky, hope to do the same one day.

The binmen created their own thunder this morning. And the BBC weather site says it's dry until this afternoon. The weather, however, says whatever to the BBC's inaccuracy.

What have you done now, Jo?
