This morning it was Grand in eruption as I arrived at Castle. It was foggy, so I could only hear the eruption. Went over and arrived at Rift just in time for the One Burst Eruption to end. West Triplet was in eruption, also. It must have been near the start, as it was reported in eruption again an hour later, with Rift also erupting.

West Triplet was in eruption, also. It must have been near the start, as it was reported in eruption again an hour later, with Rift also erupting.
Returned later to the Bijou Cage. For hour-and-a-half we didn't see anything happen, although Feather appeared to be full and just below overflow. Then we got a large Mastiff surge followed by splashing in the Southwest Vents. Feather did overflow slightly during this time, and the Southwest Vents put out enough water to fill the depressions surrounding the vents and to start flowing down the front slope. The water level in Mastiff rose to about the highest I've seen yet, down maybe 10cm. But Bijou never paused, but did roar after Mastiff dropped.
Another hour-and-a-half later with nothing happening at Giant, I transferred over to Grand. Immediately I got to experience a Turban Delay Interval. Two Turban intervals later, there was a second Delay Interval. After another hour, West Triplet finally erupted, but finished erupting with no associated Grand eruption. On the eighth Turban eruption after the second Delay Interval, we got a third.
It took four more Turban Intervals before we finally got the One Burst Grand eruption, for an interval of over eleven hours. West Triplet started another eruption during Grand, exactly three hours after the previous eruption.

Did go back out to the Bijou Cage at sunset, and again spent two hours seeing nothing much happen, when prior to my return there had been a couple of Bijou paused observed.
