Today it’s hard to keep myself going and I will be hibernating before you know it. The walls are closing in a bit now. The news is full of doom and destruction of course. That’s not helpful either. I have been doing my usual daily routine but I am feeling exhausted totally and completely. And a little bit depressed too to be honest. I did have a friday trio gig and that was rather fun though so that has lifted my spirits’ a bit. A joyous racket and happiness ensued.
So Putin’s got a hypersonic missile.
Spoiler alert ⚠
The V2 used in WW2 was a sort of ancestor:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket
You won’t see or hear it coming. V2s dropped from an altitude of 100–110 km (62–68 mi) at up to three times the speed of sound at sea level (approximately 3,550 km/h (2,206 mph)).
So this new fangled thing was first fangled long ago. The thing is you can’t easily knock out a sub-orbital weapon, so actually you don’t need nukes so much. Just the kinetic energy alone on impact is massive and modern rockets will be faster, maybe 4000 mph.

Hallmark films on the TV now, the ordeal of trial by christmas begins…Arghh.
Or worse, reruns of the masked singer with of all things a dancing singing outside toilet.
Truly the stuff of nightmares.
Is it just me? I still have not managed to make any local music connections sadly and I am running out of energy to try at present. I just cannot hang around in pubs waiting for serendipity to strike. Shame but that road seems to be blocked at present. I can’t be bothered to put another ad up before Christmas. Maybe try again in 2025?
