To deal with the prison crisis you have to reduce sentences.

To cut the court backlog you have to move more crimes to the magistrates court.

To make more punishment non-custodial, you have to fund and resource the probation service

But mainly, to reduce prison sentences you have to appease the Right Wing Press and persuade them that Prison is to protect society, not to punish and deter.

Prolonged drought is destroying Eastern Europe farmed fish production. What's that doing to Caviar Futures?

> Hungary is currently 99% covered by severe or extreme drought, and that strain has already killed off nearly 280 metric tons of farmed fish across 20 sites, with similar die-offs now showing up in Serbia, Bosnia, Czechia, Romania, and Slovenia.

On Climate Change.

Go North, young man!

"WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred."

But Canada, N Europe and Russia may not want you or your attitude.

Happy UK Meteorological Autumn.

Hedge cutting and tree work starts today.

Despite the recent cooler weather and rain, the 2026 Endless Summer may not be over just yet. Dry, high 20s expected this week in SE.

This month and next is the fastest change in daylight each day as we get close to the Equinox.

"The Dark Times are coming!"

Generation Jones (born 55-65) : They got the tail end of the party but had to clean up the mess.

A sense of lowered expectations compared to the Boomers’ post-war prosperity

Yup. Read Limits to Growth at Uni. Watched Psych rock turn into Prog rock and be thrown out by Punk. Did Free Festivals, went overland to India and had Iran and then Afghanistan blow up behind me.

- Gambi

50ml Jamaican Gold Rum, 25ml Red Vermouth, 2.5ml Grenadine, 2 dash Angostura, stir, rocks or cocktail glass, orange twist

Named after Vincenzo Gambi, the most blood thirsty Italian pirate of them all. Works well with Punt es Mes, without the Angostura. Or a proper dark or aged rum. Loosely based on the Master at Arms from Zetters Townhouse that uses a port reduction instead of vermouth.

Let's build a bigger telescope
So that we can see things more up close
Farther away from where we really are

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/aug/29/nasa-telescope-launch-nancy-grace-roman

Water pistol man full of ammunition
Squirting at fires on a worldwide mission
But did you ever think to stop to squirt
The flowers in your own backyard

Judging by the bites on my legs, Harvest Mite season has begun in the woods. Usually it's late July, but I guess the drought kept them dormant. A little bit of rain and they've all come out to play.

Same as for ticks. Loose clothing tucked in. Hot shower when you get home. And some Anthesan when the itchy bites appear 2 days later.

Of course there's a hidden problem here. Labour and Reeves approach to macro-economics is just continuing the view that fiscal rules mean austerity is necessary. And that Keynes is wrong.

It's 16 years of austerity now.
