- I’ve been hearing scratching noises in my office wall recently, especially behind one of the power sockets. I unscrewed the face plate to see little droppings and be hit by the smell of urine. Mice 😡. Underneath the building I found they had chewed through its membrane and left more droppings. A couple of strategically placed traps laced with peanut butter thankfully did the trick 🪤
- Elbow news: I had another x-ray and a CT scan at the hospital. The good news is I won’t need surgery and can start physio, but the doctor warned there’s a chance I may not be able to fully straighten my arm again. Irritating.
- I saw a video about a house fire where the smoke alarms had expired. This scared me into immediately ordering replacements for mine which had just passed the maximum 10-year point. You should go check yours.
- I’ve enjoyed being Not At Glastonbury in front of the telly this weekend. Pulp, Weezer, Shed Seven, Libertines, Wolf Alice, Prodigy - all excellent. New-to-me that I enjoyed were Royel Otis.
- I’m trying a new diet to stop me snacking. Breakfast is porridge with a banana, lunch is scrambled eggs with half an avocado, then I have something different for dinner. It’s a bit of a faff to prepare but it’s healthier and more filling than toast and sandwiches.
- We waved goodbye to the boys’ play shed on Sunday. A local family came to dismantle and take it away. I wondered if our children would be upset but they shrugged and disappeared back inside to play Minecraft and FC Mobile.
- It’s blisteringly hot next week. Now that Glastonbury is finished we can go back to talking about how hot it is again.
