BBC reports:
Home secretary says asylum reforms will 'unite a divided country' as full plans published

IMHO this will cause further, but different, splits as Labour becomes 'Reform Lite'

so Trump used 'The Royal We'
"we will sue them"

The FAA banning daytime space rocket launches is another win for Russia, and China, from agent Krasnov.

I'm a bit cynical that the carrier group Trump is sending to sit off Venezuela will not be allowed to help Jamaica, and the other islands, after the hurricane.

Nearly two weeks ago I banged my right shoulder and it still hurts a bit.
This afternoon I had a flu vaccination in my left arm and that now hurts a bit.
As I always sleep on one side or the other, how am I going to cope tonight ?

background: I'm one of the 'lucky ones' and seem to have a very mild form of RRMS multiple sclerosis #MS that started in '73 !
This week I had a visit to a neurologist for the first time in many years. His conclusion was no meds needed, and keep on doing what you do, and we'll see you in a year !

I have an ear worm this morning. I'm going around humming & singing (thanks Evil Neuro & Wind Rose):

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole.
Diggy diggy hole
Diggy diggy hole

with variations:
I am a worm and I'm digging a hole.
Diggy diggy hole

I am a mole and I'm digging a hole.

This morning I got thrown backwards on a bus and banged my right shoulder. I've got full mobility but it hurts quite a lot. So I think I've just got to tough it out on paracetamol and mild exercises.
Sorry folks I can still use a keyboard !

I spilled some wild bird seed on the ground, and a neighbour's cat came and ate it all !
Cats are going vegan ?

2 minutes later he returns and drinks from the bird bath !

Just spent an annoying hour trying to open the drum of a Dyson vacuum to empty it. Totally jammed!

Seems it has to be done in the light of a full moon, with white sage smoke, and prayers to the Discworld goddess Anoia.

As Peacehaven is probably in a constituency you are targeting - I have not yet seen condemnation of the mosque attack last night. I've not seen anything from any other party either!
(I've been a green voter, but not member, for some years, and have links to the area)

I ordered one of each of the following within my on-line groceries delivery order,
and got two of each:

salami, mince, steak, chorizo, chocolate mouse

at least there was no substitutions or 'not available' on the rest of the order. Meat feast over the next few days!

I'm taking bets on whether Starship flight 11 occurs before Windows 10 support ends !

The cliff that Ellie descended on her charity abseil at Peacehaven. Ellie is near the bottom and her husband and daughter are waiting for her.
September 19, 2025 at 8:35 PM
Ellie has done her charity abseil and raised 360% of her target. A big gust of wind blew her sideways just as she'd got going and later a lump of chalk from the cliff fell on her helmet, but she completed the abseil!

The Starship landing video in the Indian Ocean was taken from a camera bolted to a Starlink terminal sitting in a kiddie pool 😂

The bit many news services missed about the recent Starship launch is that it deployed, as a SMALL test, 8 Starlink simulators at 2000kg each (total 16 tonnes).

for comparison tonnes to LEO (very approx):
Ariane 6 - 11
Atlas V - 8 to 19
Electron - 0.3
Falcon 9 - 13 to 64
Soyuz 2 - 3 to 9

So I'm an idiot! - I read the oximeter wrong and thought my blood oxygen level was 70 and my pulse was 96!
With an oxygen level of 70% I should be out for the count!
Of course swapping the numbers makes me healthy!
I think I'm getting near the end of Covid., and hope to get a good walk tomorrow.

Sunday will be 'Happy Birthday to Windows 95' age 30 !

I only remembered because a daughter's birthday is the same date and I was doing her card this afternoon.

update: The covid has eased today - just fatigued if I do too much too quickly, and also headache above the eye (with neuritis).
Very little coughing, and not breathless.

Got my neuro appointment now and they have classed it as 'MS New' as i've avoided them for years!

#covid #MS #asthma
August 19, 2025 at 9:35 PM
oh damn now I've got #covid on top of my #asthma and mild #MS. It started with wild shakes, loss of control & strength and I ended up on the floor pissing myself. So had to get ambulance to hospital. But being a 'superman' I'd got rid of those symptom and they let me go home 4 hours after admission
