    Asked if I’ve any more clothes for the charity. No, will be April before I look to see what I need buy myself and what else to donate away when evaluating my summer wardrobe….

    “What about that hoodie just lying on that chair you don’t wear it, do you still want it !?” Showing me my not old black Lacoste hoodie that’s soo warm and comfy and looks great, prob my favourite item of casual clothing which I wear in winter most weeks at some point 🙄

    “So is that a NO ?”.. err yes, NO with a cherry on top…🍒

    Radio competitions saying 'entries have to be over 18 years of age' when it's '18 or over'…….

    Power cut so couldn't visit the store I had planned to and had to detour to branch further away.

    (obviously more than a TA for those without power or anyone trying to navigate a tricky junction without traffic lights)

    Look on the "bright" side, not a single temperature below zero. :/

    Sounds about right? I use x3.5 for reading but x2.5 when working on a computer. Give or take thats my prescription. Further back from a screen like sitting watching TV I need to be at least 3 meters away before I don't need glasses at 3 meters x1 or 1.5 would help a little.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Now, 2 TAs.

    1. The cat has been pestering me trying to get to the tub of cream cheese I was using. If I turned my back, she'd jump on the table (risking a slap) to try to have a taste. The minute I relented and gave her a smidgen, she sniffed it, licked it for a second and left the rest squelched on the floor. Great.
    2. Socks. You put three pairs in the washing machine (you've checked each of them before you put them in), but when you take them out you get one full pair and three odd socks. WTF?!?

    The recent trend on social media of people posting photos from 2016 - more Gen Z/ Millennial bullshit

    My ancient (20 year old), ailing (likely kidney failure), barely-eating (just eats enough that she is living a reasonably normal life) cat will walk across hot coals to get at cheese. If you foolishly sit in an armchair with anything resembling cheese she will walk across you like a singleminded kitten trying to get at it. Given that she throws up multiple times a day anyway, there is no chance of her getting any at all.

    My trivial annoyance is that my microwave has stopped microwaving. I'd prefer if it stopped working completely but the light is still on and the table is still turning...but the food is still cold. The other annoying thing about it is that it feels like it's very new but thinking back, I think I bought it in 2019. It still should last longer than that, I reckon.

    It's a microwave/grill combi, and yesterday was the first time I used the grill (which still works) while I was troubleshooting different potential problems with it. Ah well…

    I had one in my last apartment for twenty years. It was fairly ancient when I moved in.

    Probably thirty years old and still waving like a goodin.

    Was watching the BBC international news channel last night. There was a young female presenter on it, She had an Australian accent. I think she may have Indian origins. What annoyed me was she had a nose ring on. I was shocked, even though she was a good news reader it was very distracting, and off putting. Looked unprofessional.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I'm sure this has never been mentioned as a TA but bus/train seats being used as bag/rucksack storage and only relinquished at the very last second when it gets crowded. Boils my blood!

    Have you seen Dating Naked UK? It's an absolutely perverse piece of programming. When it comes on the TV, my wife always storms off to bed in frustration, and all I can do is sit there shaking my fist at the telly in defiant indignation.

    When someone is about to say something important in an interview or a news report and then suddenly they go to a commercial break.

    Teenagers who don't wear a rain coat even though it's raining when they are going out the door.

    Its never been cool for teenagers to wear a coat of any sort, unless its a fashion coat.

    Once upon a time rain coats were heavy awkward things. Now you can get light cool raingear.

    But that's still too complicated for them. They'd rather sit wet in school all day.

    It has always been like that, I saw secondary students walking home in lashing rain a good few of them had no jacket and one lad was in his shirt with sleeves rolled up!

    Carrying a cup of tea or coffee can sort of recreate the double slit experiment: as soon as the tea realises it is not being observed it starts to spill.
