My stupid brain has decided to treat me to a U2 and Take That mashup earworm. Horrible.
Weather apps on my phone are threatening rain. We probably need it, but if it can wait until I've cycled home after work then that would be ideal.
I don't know whether to be jealous or to feel sorry for it.

I turned off BBC Breaking News alerts a while back for the sake of my mental health, so now I get all my celebrity death news from Bluesky. Keep up the good work.
Managed to get the cat off the bed before she threw up so now I only have to scrub carpet. Take the wins where you can find them I say.

Just made a reference to thrips, and nobody in the office knew what I was talking about. Who hasn't heard of a thrip?
Romesh Ranganathan asking "what has the BBC ever done for me?" They've put you on about a quarter of their output in the last couple of years mate.
Nearly got knocked off my bike by a deer on the way into the office. 😬
Half of the books on the charity table in Tesco were published by the Krishna consciousness people? What's even the point if nobody's going to tell you gouranga when you buy them?
Cycled past a queue outside a shop on my way into work, about a hundred people deep. Apparently it was for Pokémon cards. I'm in the wrong game.
Random question - anyone have experience of painting rawhide drums? What sort of paints are good?

Had a Pot Noodle for lunch instead of my usual massive salad and my blood sugar went all peculiar on tonight's run. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
When the papers interview neighbours of murder suspects nobody every comes back and says "he's a fucking mentalist, and exactly the sort of person I'd expect to hit someone with a hammer", do they?

A herring gull once managed to crap through my car window as I was travelling at about twenty five miles per hour, absolutely lathering me in shit. I was too impressed to be annoyed.
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 3w agoWhen I rhapsodise about gulls there's always someone who says, "You just wait until one swoops down and steals your sandwich." But that already happened.
