Folks in England & Wales can pre-book flu vaccines via NHS app. Quick & simple. You can book 2 people at once! Appointments begin 1 October. I believe those in Scotland can do this using the NHS Inform Portal. In Northern Ireland use the Vaccine Service for NI or local trusts.

Rain, at last, in DE3. I didn't hear it, couldn't see it. But that welcome scent of petrichor ... intoxicating.

Watching events in Downing Street. Am a little concerned. New PM Burnham seems to have forgone the podium in favour of a stand microphone. What will happen to lovely Podium Man? Can he double up, or has he gone the way of many ministers?

Please tell whoever wrote Michael Buerk's script for that gold coin advert (the year of 3 kings) that had Edward VIII not abdicated he would have been succeeded by Elizabeth II in 1972. And Charles III would still be king today …

There's something deeply satisfying that a team from Curacao is managed by someone named Advocaat.

Time for the latest phase of ‘Project Look Anywhere But Here’ …
BREAKING: The Trump Administration has just released the UFO files.
The files include videos [shown below] of unidentified aerial phenomena over Greece, Iraq, and the UAE.
It’s worth noting they released the UFO files before arresting a single child rapist in the Epstein files.

Just found best phone app! Merlin Bird ID - identifies & records birdsong. This a.m. heard lots of birds and tested it out. In one, 14-second recording we heard a robin, a great tit, a blue tit and a blackbird! I think I'm what the Gen Zs call 'obsessed'. I may become addicted

The possibility of this has been bothering me for weeks. A repeatedly volatile market like this, surely, needs looking at?
Just 20 minutes before Trump announced the Strait of Hormuz was open—Someone dumped 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures.
A $760 million bet that oil prices would drop.
Orders far larger than anything else in the market at that moment.
They made a fortune.
But somebody knew the announcement was coming.
This is insider trading at the highest level of government.

I was 157 days old when humans 1st stepped on the Moon. Obvs I don't remember that. Or have any clear memories of the other landings over the next three-and-a-half years. But tonight humans are heading up to the Moon to orbit it once more. I'm so excited. Safe travels Artemis II.

Similar happened to friend’s friend. Turned off A/C while at dinner. Came back to find a snake sitting there. He rang reception (from friend’s room!). Told to ring ‘hotel snake catcher’ - using special call button on phone! Apparently snakes seek out rooms with no A/C!
So there was this couple who checked into a hotel somewhere in Krabi, Thailand.
One partner ran crying at 5 AM, saying there was something around her neck: a SNAKE slithering by their bed.
It was reported to the staff, and here is what they found:

How Lou Macari hasn’t got an honour or a knighthood for his work is one of the most difficult things for me to comprehend in life.
He might not want one. But he should at least be offered one.
