I was supposed to be visiting Newark Air Museum today with my dad but, as is often the case, the weather let us down. The forecast yesterday evening stated that it would be cloudy, but with some occasional sunshine in the afternoon. However, when I got up this morning the forecast had changed and was now claiming drizzly rain throughout the day. As a lot of the museum’s exhibits are outside, we decided to postpone the visit to a day with better conditions.

It annoys me a lot that weather forecasts change overnight so often. The whole purpose of a forecast is to allow people to plan activities accordingly and, while I appreciate predicting the weather is an extremely complex task, it is frustrating that in 2024 it sometimes feels that I would be better off with a pine-cone or bit of seaweed or something.

So, instead of looking at a load of old aeroplanes, I spent a lot of the day playing Astro Bot on the PlayStation. Not my initial plan for the day, but a lot of fun nevertheless.

The picture below has nothing to do with aircraft of PlayStations, but I guess it loosely ties into the gaming link.
