Read at your own risk. When I went to the moon (actually not like the film studio for Apollo 11, in 1969) on SpaceX's dragon rocket I was very happy. The falcon 9 did what it required and did the first stage of the flight correctly. Launching at 17:38:01 on the 32nd of August 2021. The booster landed like it always does nowadays. Except that one time when it crashed to avoid a bird. I had my sights set for the moon and had only now realised it takes a couple days to make the journey. The Dragon capsule is small but very comfortable and full of the latest technology. It only has a couple of actual buttons with most thing

Read at your own risk. Take a corona test twice a week they said. We'll force you to collect a new packet after 3 and a half weeks. As that's when you will need a new pack, they said. Well from the past year I have at least 10 packs of corona tests piled up at home. I have no choice, I am forced to pick up a pack of corona tests. Yes it's wasting countless billions of the governments money. Funded by our taxes and loans that the future generations will have to pay. Whilst Rishi Sunak is by far the most popular conservative right now he has most likely, without any significant change in policy or seismic rise in tax, forced us, eventually, into a deep deep recession.

Society is an interesting thing and also an interesting concept. Why do we have society and societal norms. Freedom is closely linked to being in a society and what the collective expects of you.

But I'm alright now and up for some entertainment in my repetitive work as a coder here in the mighty City of London. As a dedicated bug fixer you might think that my work would be interesting and different, hunting down mysterious bugs and problems. But that's not true. Almost 100% of the tickets I'm given are the same or almost the same problem which a very very simple trace table will more than suffice to find the answer. Entertainment is

Trees which were green are now brown and orange with highlights of autumnal reds. The bark slowly peeling and becoming mulch. Water slowly flowing from the remaining tips of leaves down the trunk into the now fertile ground. Snails enjoying life with the nutrients available. But it's turning to winter and the ground is about to freeze tonight. The weatherman has informed
