Bad #fatigue & #weakness yesterday, just as happened when I got Covid last year, but this time with a flu? Collapsed to the floor, but unlike last time when I needed an ambulance, this time I managed to swing my legs over the top of the stairs which allowed me to sit up. Then a pause to recover #MS

Mooch is prepared for the 2026 solar eclipse in two days. Please watch safe everyone and wear protection glasses. Mooch's humans all got to see the August 1999 total solar eclipse. We had a good clear view in Germany, when a slot opened in the clouds just at the right time. #eclipse

Mooch, the cuddly monkey, is protecting his eyes with solar eclipse glasses whilst looking at the sun.

It appears I'm losing weight faster than my spine is shrinking. So my BMI is improving! 😅

"McConnell says he has been discharged from rehab" In the UK that would mean he was being treated for drug or alcohol abuse, but is still under observation. 🤣😜

Did I miss something or did BBC news stop reporting before the Manchester result was done in favour of hearing about Trump?

My granddaughter is growing up ! She just graduated (from nursery) and got her driving licence (from Legoland) We also got a new photo of her which made her look like an 18 year old !

Sadly, RIP Bill Oddie Met him once at a school fete. I don't know whether the kids or the parents loved him more.

The radical net zero policies have taken a long time to get nowhere, and I'm getting as mad and as hot as hell. 🔥💢 I saw the light in 1976, when I needed to do some experiments that were temperature sensitive and was at work at 0400 in the morning! 1/

Maybr the best chat about the heat I saw today went something like: UK/Europe: it's getting hot, we have to reduce this global warming NOW. US response: just buy some AC (and burn more fossil fuels).

A hot hi on #MSFriday from South London. It's currently 30.3C in my workroom @ 2000. I've just gone out to give the garden birds food & water and they seem happy! The breeze has picked up. 1/

I'm confused. Does the Starmer UK social media ban for under 16s mean that adults will have to prove their age? Is it going to be the same method as the porn site access ?

mooch jones @mooch-monkey.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Things to do this weekend: 0. enjoy the warmth before my #MS kicks off in the heat to come. 1. I stopped feeding the birds three days ago so I can put weekiller on the lawn Saturday without birds grubbing for feeder droppings (bad infestation of virginia creeper). 2. buy a new fan.

I cracked my bus pass, probably by sitting on it ! Nice split across it that definitely broke the internal aerial wire, so it would not talk to the bus / tram / train readers. A replacement cost £15, but worth while as I use it two or three times every day for free travel in London. ✂️🎫😵🚍🚊🚄

Just so you know that I am deliberately MIA on one topic from 11th to 19th. The words have been muted for several months ! includes 🦶🏈 Instead I'm just going to enjoy the kids, cats, food, wine, sunshine, rain, trees and silly politics...

I'm trying to give mass back to the universe, but it's hard ! 10kg given and 2 have returned. I guess they did not like it out in the wild. ⚖️🔄

I'll be off to the polling station soon. I'm not saying who I will vote for, but it will not be Labour or Conservative who have been playing 'pass the hot potato' here for many years. They have just made things worse at every change. Also never Reform in any shape, form, or name.

Daughter #1 has passed her driving test today, and on the first attempt ! 😀 Now we've just got to persuade her to come with the granddaughter and take the grandparents on trips out. 😜 Her new car had a flat tyre this week, so she's already been initiated into the 'joys' of motoring. 🛞

A young woman on the train to Victoria station in London this morning had, but not wearing, a large diameter Victorian crinoline. At least it was squashed a bit flat but still extended into the aisle from a double seat ! Was it our very own editrix ? @girlsown.bsky.social #GirlsOwnCC

Mooch has been reading the The Murderbot Diaries and really enjoying them. He especially likes the denial of 'being human' by the SecUnit and its developing friendship with humans and bots. The photo is of Mooch cosplaying Murderbot with two of the books. Many thanks to the author @marthawells.com

It was nice and sunny the past few days, but it's going to be colder this weekend. During Easter Monday there were quite a few tourists in Brighton, on the South Coast of England. But in high summer it will be really full, especially during Fatboy Slim's On The Beach music festival.

The way I want to read it "A whole civilization will die tonight" = MAGA "we have Complete and Total Regime Change" = President, Congress, and Senate are removed "47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end" = 47th President of extortion... 😱

It sounded to me like Trump just said 95% of the oil went to Japan and 90% went to China. I think he really said 'of their oil' comes from... I must use some olive oil to clear my ears. 😜

I've just torn & bloodied another nail (4th time) trying to open a Head and Shoulders shampoo bottle. The type with a flip lid, not pump type. How are you supposed to open them? Especially if you have hand control problems. Any suggestions for a shampoo+conditioner in a screw top bottle please. #MS

I hope Trump gets to watch the sinking of the first 'battleship'. He would like to emulate King Henry VIII who watched the sinking of the Mary Rose. She sank due to instability after heavy modifications Gold gun barrels are my suggestion. 🛶⚓🌊⏬
