Ah, September! 

You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul ... 

but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October

Wake Me Up When September Ends

 

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

The big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh On the last day of September

 

The big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh,
The ally-ally-oh, the ally-ally-oh.
Oh, the big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh
On the last day of September
Ally ally oh! Ally oh!
On the last day of September

The captain said it will never, never do,
Never, never do, never, never do.
The captain said it will never, never do
On the last day of September
Ally ally oh! Ally oh!
On the last day of September

The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea,
The bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea.
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea,
On the last day of September
Ally ally oh! Ally oh!
On the last day of September

We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea,
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea.
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea,
On the last day of September
Ally ally oh! Ally oh!
On the last day of September

 the crazy ones. 

The misfits. 

The rebels. 

The troublemakers. 

The round pegs in the square holes. 

The ones who see things differently. 

They're not fond of rules. 

And they have no respect for the status quo. 

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. 

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. 

Because they change things. 

They push the human race forward. 

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. 

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world 

are the ones who do.

 

Brittle autumn leaves

Dana Plato - Diffrent Strokes actress

 Dana went on to do nude and erotic roles 

(we had a few different strokes over them )

Toward the end of her career, Plato chose roles that were erotic

she appeared nude in Prime Suspect (1989) and Compelling Evidence (1995), and in the softcore erotic drama Different Strokes: The Story of Jack and Jill...and Jill (1998), the title of which was changed after filming in order to tie it to Plato's past. 

In the same year, following her appearance in the film, Plato appeared in a cover story of the lesbian lifestyle-magazine Girlfriends.

David Banner

 

Some go with the "gay" story - this was put round by Lou and the bodybuilders - men who cover themselves in oil and stand on a stage in a little pair of pants flexing their muscles while an audience of men scream at them tend to be homophobic for some reason 

Some say it was because Batman was Bruce Wayne 

Some producer didn't like the alliterative names Marvel always used, Peter Parker, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Matt Murdock, Jonah Jameson, etc 

Bruce Banner played by Bill Bixby was a bit much to take 

Other they is that this is a different Universe so David Banner, the Medical Doctor who becomes the Hulk through the strength experiment, is not the same as Bruce Banner the Physicist military scientist who becomes the Hulk from the bomb accident 

Kenneth Johnson needed a new name and David was the name of his son

Merry Go Round - song

  There is joy in the family on the day a new baby arrives 

There are congratulations from relations and husbands and wives 

And old grandad and grandma are smiling on their happy day 

As they both dream of their childhood those days their whole life turned away

 Every day he is growing very soon he's a baby no more

 On his first day of school mommy smiles as he walks out the door 

With a tear in her eye she remembers her own first school day 

Oh but now where are those days it's amazing how time slips away 

Many years past he's grown up with a wife and a child of his own

 And they all live together so happy in their home sweet home 

There are times when he's holding his baby his own pride and joy 

That his thoughts go a wandering back to when he was a boy

Now the years they have flown he's an old man all wrinkled and grey 

He's grandaddy now and his grandchildren come round to play 

They are good little children they love him they have so much fun 

While grandad sits in his chair and remembers when he too was young 

 We're spinning around 

We're up and we're down 

We're taking a ride on the merry-go-round 

We're ringing the bell of life's carousel 

And when you'll get off it nobody can tell

 We don't have a care 

When we've got the fair 

But sometimes we don't and we're left standing there 

But soon it's OK and we're up off the ground 

And we're riding again on the merry-go-round 

White Horses - song

 

On white horses let me ride away 

To my world of dreams so far away 

Let me run 

To the sun 

To a world my heart can understand 

It's a warm and gentle wonder land

 Far away 

Stars away 

Where the clouds are made of candyfloss

 As the day's born 

When the stars are gone 

We'll race to meet the dawn 

So when I can only see the grey 

Of a sad and very lonely day 

That's when I 

Softly sigh 

On white horses 

Snowy white horses

 Let me ride away

Madame Webb

 So this was the origin story for Madame Webb - who she is and how she came to be (as per Batman story no 6) 

So we only get to see Cassandra become Md W right at the end, with her powers, how she ended up we see the 3 versions of Spider woman, who will become SW, and a quick future flash of them in costume this sets up things for solo SW movies or series which of course will never happen - like Sacsha Calles version of Supergirl introduced in Flash 

So all the potential here for Jennifer Carpenter to get her own Spiderwoman movie was never going to be realised - keeping in mind she is the second Spiderwoman after Jessica Drew, the second Arachne, and then becomes the second Madame Webb as well 

Same goes for the other two versions - Anya as Arana and then Spider Girl - and Mattie as Spider woman, keeping in mind her appearances in Jessica Jones, so a crossover option there - whether they would have had some "trio" film, their own stories, or this being a Madame Webb 2 where they actually go out and do something with it 

and this "waste" was planned from the start .

 

There is a time in late September when the leaves are still green and the days are still warm, 

but somehow you know that it is all about to end,

 as if summer was holding its breath,

 and when it let it out again, it would be autumn

 

Dewdrops beading blades of grass

have so little time to shine before dawn;

let the autumn wind 

not rush too quickly through the field!

 

Life is about change, 

sometimes it's painful, 

sometimes it's beautiful, 

but most of the time it's both

 

The first morning of autumn:

the mirror I investigate

reflects my father’s face

  

every predator is somebody else's prey

 

Love isn’t about playing it safe, it’s about risks. 

Unless you’re willing to put yourself out there, 

you’ll never know

 

It takes two to lie: 

one to lie 

and one to listen

 

I used to be with it 

But then they changed what ‘it’ was

And now what I’m with isn’t it 

 Autumn's really here now

You can feel it in the air

It's almost time for eiderdown

September Gurls Song by The Bangles

 

September girls
Do so much
And for so long
'Till we touched
I love you, boy
Never mind
I've been crying
All the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

September girls
I don't know why
How can I deny
What's inside
Even though I
Keep away
They will love
All our days

 

You were born a child of light’s wonderful secret

— you return to the beauty you have always been.

 

It is said that before entering the sea

a river trembles with fear.

She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.

Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean

Autumn Haiku

 

The cheerful-chirping cricket
contends gray autumn's gay,
contemptuous of frost
—Matsuo Basho,

Illuminated by the harvest moon
smoke is caught creeping
across the water ...
—Hattori Ransetsu,

An empty road
lonelier than abandonment:
this autumn evening
—Matsuo Basho,

A solitary crow
clings to a leafless branch:
autumn twilight
—Matsuo Basho,

Brief autumn breeze ...
she always wanted to pluck
the reddest roses
—Issa,

Taming the rage
of an unrelenting sun—
autumn breeze.
—Basho,

The sun sets,
relentlessly red,
yet autumn’s in the wind.
—Basho,

As autumn deepens,
a butterfly sips
chrysanthemum dew.
—Basho,

This strange flower
investigated by butterflies and birds:
the autumn sky
—Matsuo Basho

Cooling the pitiless sun’s
bright red flames:
autumn wind.
—Matsuo Basho

Saying farewell to others
while being told farewell:
departing autumn.
—Matsuo Basho

Traveling this road alone:
autumn evening.
—Matsuo Basho

Thin from its journey
and not yet recovered:
late harvest moon.
—Matsuo Basho

This world—
to what may we compare it?
To autumn fields
lying darkening at dusk
illuminated by lightning flashes.
—Minamoto no Shitago

Sick of this autumn migration
in dreams I drift
over flowerless fields ...
―Matsuo Basho 

Denied transformation
into a butterfly,
autumn worsens for the worm
—Matsuo Basho

Picking autumn plums
my wrinkled hands
once again grow fragrant
―Yosa Buson

A crow has settled
on a naked branch―
autumn nightfall
―Basho

Sick of its autumn migration
my spirit drifts
over wilted fields ...
―Matsuo Basho

The first morning of autumn:
the mirror I investigate
reflects my father’s face
―Masaoka Shiki

Brittle autumn leaves
crumble to dust
in the freezing wind.
—Takao

Dewdrops beading blades of grass
have so little time to shine before dawn;
let the autumn wind not rush too quickly through the field!
—Eihei Dogen Kigen

Ryonen

Sixty-six times have these eyes beheld the changing scene of autumn

I have said enough about moonlight,

Ask no more.

Only listen to the voice of pines and cedars when no wind stirs.

Heartbeat Song by George Michael

 

Another summer
Another vacation is over
A September morning,
With the sun and the smell of the clover

Down by the gate
We sit and we watch all our friends go by
And pretend we don't hear the bell,
That rings through the summer sky

Autumn

 

Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

For man, Autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.

How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.

 everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.

Life is a dream, and Autumn is a dream within a dream!

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.

The most beautiful carpet is the carpet made of autumn leaves!

 

It was a lovely afternoon

such an afternoon as only September can produce 

when summer has stolen back for one more day 

of dream and glamour

 

September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, 

but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn

Blood Moon - 7 September 2025

 

The last total lunar eclipse visible in the UK was in 2022, and it won't occur again until August 2026.

The phenomenon occurs when the sun, Earth and the moon align perfectly with one another in a straight line.

As the moon passes through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow - known as the umbra - it causes it to turn a deep, dark red colour, creating what is known as a blood moon.

The eclipse will begin while the moon is still below the UK's horizon.

 as it rises, it will already be in total eclipse. 

7.33pm on Sunday

It will continue to slowly move out of the Earth's shadow until 9.55pm, giving stargazers in the UK approximately two hours and 22 minutes to see the eclipse.

When the moon is in the Earth's umbra, it does not get any direct sunlight, meaning only light that is refracted through Earth's atmosphere manages to reach the moon.

Shorter blue wavelengths of light are typically scattered by the Earth's atmosphere, leaving longer red wavelengths to pass through - hence the red tones of the moon.

The more dust or clouds in Earth's atmosphere during the eclipse, the redder the moon appears, 

This same atmospheric refraction effect is what causes sunsets and sunrises to look red.

Sunday September 7th Full Moon - Corn Moon - Harvest Moon

 

• Sunday September 7: Corn Moon 
• Tuesday October 7: Hunters Moon - Harvest Moon - Supermoon 
• Wednesday November 5: Beaver Moon - Supermoon 
• Sunday December 4: Cold Moon - Supermoon 

 the Harvest Moon is always the full Moon that occurs closest to the September equinox. Most years, it falls in September; every three years, it falls in October. (Astronomical seasons do not match up with the lunar month.) If the Harvest Moon occurs in October, the September full Moon is usually called the Corn Moon instead. Similarly, the Hunter’s Moon always follows the Harvest Moon. 

In 2025 the autumnal equinox will occur on 22 September at 18.20 GMT (19.20 BST).

There will be three supermoons in 2025, occurring on the following dates: 

• Tuesday October 7: The Hunter's Moon
• Wednesday November 5: The Beaver Moon, which will be the closest full moon to Earth since 2019
• Thursday December 4: The Cold Moon
•
