Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Clearing the in-laws house and found AJ owns a top hat. Because of course he does, no one ever doubted it.

10x the team after Rashford was hooked #justsayin And what I'm just saying is he's a fucking liability at this club.

It's all very familiar for United fans. It's not systems, tactics, incompetence or all of that guff. It's that players seem to down tools on managers so regularly.

United looking a balanced team. Toothless up front, wide open at the back.

Classic 10 man turnaround. It concentrates the minds of the disadvantaged team, the other loses urgency.

At last, a poll that goes someway towards capturing the true ignorance and apathy when questioned by polluters. Don't Knows and Neithers @ 69% is gold.

This why 67 % of even the smartest people are idiots. We've already got robots that can outpace any living creatures. But no, let's take the wheels off and give it legs so they can fall over and destroy themselves.

New book tonight. Without reading a word it feels like it might funny but occasional read, not a start to fihish-er in one go type of thing.

Rashford is eternally frustrating. If he could improve his decision making by 10% he'd be world class. But he never does, essentially he's the same player he was 10 years ago.

Finally finished this. A new author to me, an old favourite genre, hard Sci Fi. I'd describe as a science procedural novel. Fully enjoyed it and will definitely seek out more Emily Carter novels.
A book cover, Deep Space Expedition by Emily Carter rests on the bed linen covering my knees.

I'm quite puzzled by all the people who constantly shouted for Starmer to resign are now criticising him for... resigning. Is it because today is transfer deadline day or something?

Ok Bluesky, was just out walking snd saw a string of lights in tge sky, that looked like a time-lapse photo of the moon. Tried to get a pic, as did Sel, but it vanished quickly. It's clearly moving fast as it's blurred in my pic and in Sel's. Any ideas?

Considering pretending I've got more important things than football to attend to. Doing it this early in the season should be actionable, but isn't.

A potential 2nd entry in the Wes Andersonalike photo competition run by TBIFF.
Photo of a former church converted to residences. The building is white rendered with a low, black tile roof. The pic is centred on thefront door which forms a black gated 3 arch portico. The straight path to the door is black tarmac and is joined by another path at a right angle halfway on the right. It is bordered by a lawn covered in autumnal leaves and bright green hedge.

My current Insta feed is 50% lions fighting hyenas and 50% Amish recipes. It's a strange old mix and puzzling insofar as I can't remember being remotely interested in either or see the pay off for Meta in getting me interested.

28 Years Later. I found it wonderfully touching and meaningful with a superb, absolutely bonkers ending. Nothing you'd really expect from a zombie film, even one from this excellent series and writing/directing combo.

A little Wes Anderson in Morecambe.
A mural on the side of a low, flat roofed, utility building features a setting sun and the word fabulous. The building sits, isolated in the centre of the frame, on a wide expanse of parched grass, bounded by a low wall which divides the grass from the misty blue sky.

Didn't get the A levels you need for uni? Well neither did I but I still managed to spend the next 3 years drinking and doing drugs with youthful abandon. Mind, living at home I didn't have student digs to take the girls I didn't manage to cop off with either, so there's that.

Watching Apollo 11, the moon landing documentary. I swear every single shot is epic, full of grandeur and beauty. Even a fill shot of the cafeteria at NASA has the news of Chappaquiddick on the tv in the background. Btw, during take off Buzz Aldrin's heartrate reached the heady heights of 88bpm!
