My toddler wasn't around when my OCD involved continously checking that the doors and windows were closed, but it is not lost on me the progress I have clearly made when he asks if some particular door is "open" or "closed" (because he is learning what those words mean)
Once again my legs feel, at different times throughout the day today, like jelly OR lead. Make it make sense.
Did anyone else read the headline that Starmer quit as MP and had to do a double-take and check that we hadn't just gone back in time?
Sold 4 items on Vinted and now have the 'Only Fools and Horses' theme in my head.
Today's Yoto Radio features a lot of Harry Potter/Hogwarts celebratory references, just a heads up.

Toddler decided to teach me the lyrics of 'Humpty Dumpty': Humpty Dumpty had any wool Humpty Dumpty had any wool Humpty Dumpty had any wool Humpty Dumpty again!!!!
The end of the shelfmarks of the books I was using yesterday were very familiar: KNO SCO THO
We need to start writing near-future science fiction that refers back to a period in the past known only as 'The Last Days of the Billionaires'. There'd be no obligation to explain what happened to them, just that it was historically inevitable. Let us create the expectation of world without them.
Imagine being KH and not only voicing a character in the HP universe and getting criticised for it, but also doubling down and deciding to go for the same part in the TV series
Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Someone with poor interoception: Am I thirsty? Wait did I drink that water already? I don't remember. I don't think I'm thirsty. Or maybe I am? When did I last have a drink of water? Then walks away from the cup.

Emptied my handbag (which is about 25cm long, 20cm deep). Found four deodorants, three sun cream bottles, endless unravelled thread, several loose (!) sewing needles, a tax rebate letter from 2023, a round plastic coat hanger tag labelled "FRI", and 24 pens.
Something about your toddler jumping on a trampoline in a park, repeating "boots and cats boots and cats boots and cats" while a metal water bottle and a plastic water bottle clang together as they lie on the trampoline and get jumped into the air
Any friends who have been through a stapedotomy or stapedectomy, gimme a shout!
Very ancient sentient being, circular formations, weird blue stuff, funky flora. The Rig is The Expanse but wet.
Assembling info for audiologist appt. Does anyone else remember the RNID x Eamonn Holmes campaign of Winter 2005/2006 when you had to phone a number and got a pre-recorded audio message from Eamonn Holmes deciding whether or not you could hear people talking over each other?
This entire time, I thought the La La Land Ryan Gosling hand edit was the original and they changed it to the weird hand angle to avoid accusations of accidental-but-specific saluting.
Toddler talking about apples bonking someone on the head????? Do they cover gravity in the Curriculum For Excellence???

Hannah Louise@hanarchovist.bsky.social · last mo.I need some help with this Arabic (?) word in this RAF navigator's 1941 diary. He writes that he was told it was a universal Arabic greeting for "Good morning" or "Good day" but I'm struggling to find something similar online. Thank you so much if anyone can help

The British Newspaper Archive changes absolutely suck
I really need to stop having meltdowns and shouting "THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE" in the middle of Edinburgh.
The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.
