Intermittent lighting up of the whole sky above Llandudno so I went up Pen Dinas and witnessed an incredible display of lightning taking place currently from us over the top of the wind turbines and reaching out to the Wirral.

Ooh, I'll take a look. I'm hearing that power is out in parts of central Llandudno following some sort of sub station explosion?

Shooting stars galore if you look towards the north east. Perseid meteor shower visible for the last night tonight apparently.

We drove to the seafront in Rhos and saw some flashing in the sky, some sort of sheet lightning?

Electric off 6.40p.m. until 7.30p.m. Monday night.  Then couldn't use the cash point at HSBC as no electricity .  Luckily others ok.

Currently a busker dressed as a Red Indian outside M&S, playing 'House of the Rising Sun' on his pan pipes - quite an experience  :D

Yes... but..... I have to say, ITS RUBBISH!!

It has been built at entirely the wrong angle, so unless you happen to be over 9 feet tall, or are lucky enough to have an upper floor room in The Cumberland Hotel, you can hardly see it!

Intriguing tweet from Judith Phillips over on Twitter:

"Landowner says £50m investment heralds bright future for Llandudno. See story in tomorrow's North Wales Weekly News."

Sounds interesting. Mostyn?

£50m for Llandudno?  I saw that Tweet too, I imagined it being a shameless attempt to make me buy the NWWN once again.

In turn, I shall sell her a bottle of elixyr of eternal life from my shop.

Both have an equal chance of being true I would say.

There can be no truth in it ,Oscar or DaveR have said nothing so it must be a lie.

Let's not knock it before we know the facts. Judith Phillips isn't someone who messes about like that and is far from sensationalist.

By the way, mentioning Mostyn Estates, have you seen their nice new website (I, or someone else, may have mentioned this before, I cannot remember):
