In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

According to the Malta Met Office, Valletta has recorded wind gusts of 56 kts.

We've turned it up all the way to 11.

All ferries are suspended. I'm gonna watch the webcams from the safety of the sofa, and make another pot of coffee :)

Pretty scary night of strong, screaming wind. Mixed with random bangs from stuff blowing around from the construction sites and roof terraces nearby. There is a pool nearby where all the water is blowing out and upwards, like an Icelandic waterfall.

Lino Print of the Week 🐟

And just like that, it’s the start of a new week. Best tackled in company.

Storm Harry approaching from the South East coast of Gozo this morning 🌊

Incoming - storm Harry!
Only strong winds so far... Thoughts to those having to cross between the Islands today, if the winds become as strong as forecast the ferries may struggle later. 🌊

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

you could probably capture our president by writing "nobel peace prize" on a pie plate and putting it under one of those boxes held up with a stick tied to a string

A hazy, wintery morning. Low sun and a strong, humid south-west wind. 18 degrees. I'm a big fan of a Mediterranean winter!

Maybe he’ll start kidnapping all the other Presidents, one by one. Keep them in a big zoo. Like some unholy cross between a Batman villain and someone playing Pokémon.
