Up early today to visit the highest train station in Europe and see the Aletsch Glacier again 🇨🇭

Hangover cure 😋

Loaded breakfast plate. Stacked on top of golden, crispy toast are two perfectly fried eggs with bright, sunny yolks, draped in wavy strips of crispy bacon, with melted chilli cheese underneath. Tucked right next to them are two beautifully browned, juicy chilli sausages with a nice, smoky char. Rounding out the plate on the side is a giant, juicy grilled mushroom cap alongside two rich, roasted tomato halves.

Wow, Kylian Mbappe's response to that disgusting Paraguayan senator who tweeted a racist diatribe at him is f#cking rock solid!

Article reads:
Mbappe responded: "Madame Celeste Amarilla, you are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position.
"You do not represent Paraquay, that country which has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition.
"Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country.
"I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world."

Still hot so time for a treat in the garden 😋

Preparing for tomorrow's annual anniversary garden party with a pre-party this evening with a select few friends (I don't mean the alcohol bottles!)

A close-up shot focuses on a clear wine glass filled with a pink cocktail and ice cubes, resting on a table. In the background, out of focus, are several liquor bottles, including prosecco and gin. In the foreground, a laminated menu titled "Classic Cocktail Recipes" lies flat on the table, featuring names and illustrations of different drinks. The entire scene appears to be an outdoor setting during the day.

Nice walk in the sunshine on the way home.

I went out after work with my wife and son and sat by the river and ate this sumptuous comfort food. Comfort food is good 👍

Three plates of pub food. Bacon and cheese burger in bap with chips, New York style chicken in Indian curry sauce, beer battered fish and chips

Square white plate with biscoff cheesecake and vanilla and caramel ice-cream, with dark sauce drizzled across the plate.

Need a drink. Fifth six day week in a row. One more next weekend. Summer is absolutely knackering! A few... cough cough... shots of Whitley Neil Raspberry Gin with Pink Soda, and dried orange garnish to relax into the weekend...!

Nice top for reference. Just got home and most of my face has sweated off (and my bathroom mirror needs cleaning 😱)

Pub food after a successful morning shopping round. All my calories for the week done! I didn't eat the Bailey's sharer thing - that was my wife and my son.

Pub made fajitas.
Medium rare beef chunks on a heated skillet, hidden under two fried eggs. Side plate with wraps, nachos and sauces and a separate saucer of melted emmental cheese.

Post a photo from 2019 (I had different colour hair then 😭)

Nearly time for 007 #FirstLight. Bit the bullet and pre-ordered for my PS5 Pro. Can play early access today but it's too hot right now 🥵🥵🥵 Love the Lana Del Rey theme tune as well. open.spotify.com/track/2vd3Hb...

It's that heatwave time of year that calls for Prosecco in the evening in the garden. The gazebo and bar are out for summer 🌞 🌞 🌞

Cut these back absolutely tonnes in winter and still blooming fantastically. Magic of south facing walls.

Just had my first non-soup meal in over two weeks after dental work. That home-made (not by me!) sourdough pizza was the best thing ever 😋😋😋

Home made sourdough pizza just out of the oven on the cutting table ready to serve. Tomato and cheese and salami and pepper toppings.

What even is this press release from The White House? "We will find you and We Will Kill You" "In addition to ... identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose radically pro-transgender, and anarchist..." www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

PRESIDENTIAL FOREWORD

When I returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, four years of weakness, failure, surrender,
and humiliation under the last administration came to an end. Today, our nation is strong, our borders
are secure. and the United States is respected all over the world. We are once again putting America
First.

As part of my commitment to defending America from all enemies, foreign and domestic, we are once
again working to crush the threat of terrorism. Within 43 days, we apprehended the terrorist
mastermind of the attack on Abbey Gate in Afghanistan that left 13 American service members dead
In just one year, we brought back 106 American hostages from captivity abroad without paying a
single dollar to their captors. We designated key chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as the terrorist
groups they have always been. We mobilized the Department of Homeland Security to remove illegal
alien criminals and Jihadist sympathizers from our country. We ended the war in Gaza, secured the
release of all remaining hostages, and began the process of ensuring Gaza can no longer serve as a
haven for terrorism and extremism by bringing security and prosperity to the region through the Board
of Peace. Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury have dealt devastating blows to the
world's number one state sponsor of terror, the sinister regime in Iran, to ensure they can never have
a nuclear weapon.

At the same time, my Administration has put an unprecedented focus on dismantling threats to the
American homeland in our Hemisphere. We are no longer permitting the cartels and gangs who have
poisoned millions of Americans to freely operate in our region or smuggle their drugs, guns, or
trafficked women and children into our country. Last year, I rightfully designated the deadly cartels
as terrorist organizations, and began using the strength and power of the U.S. military to stop and
destroy their operations. Our Armed Forces also demonstrated their incredib…

In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities
identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose
radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools consti
map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to inter
Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally befo
innocent. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such grou
undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere.

Finally, and in a special strategtic category, we will maintain and increases
and render safe the most dangerous terrorist threat to America:
weapons of mass destruction, especially the terrorist use of nuclear, and the attribution of nuclear threats, remain Presidential priorities.

The goaLs of our CT Strategy

The mission of the counterterrorism structures of the U.S. Government is
have the intent and capability to plot attacks against Americans and then

This mission can be broken down into three simple functions

Identify terror actors and plots before they happen.
Cut off their arms, funding, and recruiting streams.
Ultimately destroy established threat groups.

From www.spaceweather.com Another way Elon Musk's selfishness via Starlink satellite mega constellations decommissioning model can f**k us all and the atmosphere. Thank God for billionaires heh!

A GIANT ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENT: Everv 16 hours. more or
less. a Starlink satellite falls out of the skv. It's part of the SpaceX business
model: Old obsolete satellites re-enter to make wav for newer models.

It sounds like a good way to keep Earth orbit from becoming too cluttered, but
it comes with a cost. Every Starlink that burns up dumps about 30 kg of
aluminum oxide into the upper atmosphere. That aluminum is not supposed to be there.

So far this vear. 171 Starlinks have reentered, adding more than 5 metric tons of aluminum oxide to the stratosphere and mesosphere. How does this compare to natural sources?

The primary natural source is meteoroids - the same "shooting stars" that streak across the niaht sky. As they burn up between roughly 75 and 110 km, they release a faint dusting of metals. Recent studies suggest that meteoroids add between 40,000 kg and 58,000 kg of Al2Os to the atmosphere each year. Starlink in 2026 is on track to add between 26% and 39% of that natural total

Al 39% mav not sound too bad. but consider the following: The size of the Starlink constellation is rapidly increasing, and SpaceX's competitors are racing to catch up. A full buildout of planned megaconstellations could inject more than 360,000 kg of Al,0, per year -- a 640% excess above natural meteoroids (Ferreira et al. 2024)

It all adds up to a aiant uncontrolled experiment in atmospheric chemistry.
Researchers already know that aluminum oxides can destroy ozone. Other side-effects may reveal themselves in due course. Stay tuned
