A rare atmospheric marvel appeared in the Carpathians: the Brocken Spectre. When the sun shines from behind and a bank of cloud or fog lies ahead, a person’s shadow is projected onto the mist and ringed with bright, rainbow-like halos.👇

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

I don't want to attack Mr. Soros. And he doesn't need me to defend him. But let's be frank: He didn't get where he is by making stupid financial decisions.

The idea that he'd pay us to do what we'd do for free anyway is the sort of thinking only done by people who make stupid financial decisions.
