Investigation halted into mysterious humming noise plaguing city for months The council were investigating the source of the noise for months

I love it when there's a mysterious hum. I think: now people understand how I feel about next door's extractor fan. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Went for a nighttime walk along the shingle. Lot of stars out there tonight. I saw Orion and his belt, both Ursas; Cassopeia, and the lights of Calais on the horizon. Back in the hotel room in my jimjams, reading Orbital and drinking mint tea.

I had some time today just pootling about with no obligations and no requirement to interact where I felt properly, deeply calm, which I think is probably what I had hoped for from this sabbatical. Shame there's not much of it left!

On TikTok, you have to refer to Kathleen Hanna’s band as β€œBikini Unalive.” I think society is cooked and we need to destroy the internet.

Just got stuck writing the word "blue" and tried both "bleu" and "blou" before working my way back to it.

I really hoped that the timeball would do something, as the sign suggested it might, "every hour", but I was there at the top of the hour and nothing occurred except a bloke came and sat down on the bench next to mine to eat a pasty.

β€œHe does what?”
β€œHe likes to guess their shoe size and orders it for them.”
β€œAnd they don’t fit?”
β€œNo, he’s comically wrong. Like, every time.”
β€œAnd they wear them anyway?”
β€œYeah. See, that’s how you know how sycophantic they are. It’s symbolism.”
(beat)
β€œEh. We can’t do that. It’s too on the nose.”

I've spent the last couple of days thinking "gosh there's a lot of attractive men in Deal" and have just realised that, no Natalie: you're just ovulating, these are ordinary men.

I can't even think about that

I lent S a tote at some point and when he gave it back he'd cleared everything out the bottom of it and chucked it?? Absolutely psychotic. Someone else's stuff?!

It really is a huge and steaming pile of event.

Very funny that there's a typo in this describing it as "the steaming event of the decade".

News - No overdiagnosis of ADHD, say experts - University of Nottingham Experts are warning that far from being over diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.

Interesting to see that a review with 32 experts published in British Journal of Psychiatry last week found no evidence that ADHD is being overdiagnosed
