Does anyone have a blunt removing tool that I can borrow ?
I have a James Blunt singing away in my head and I can't stop it !
It's the same pitch as an annoying gnat that keeps flying past your ear .

Could be worse...

Could be the chicken song from spitting image...

I have finished the ink drawing for the pickup truck painting. Really pleased with it.

Next step will be to mask off the bits that need to stay white, but that's for tomorrow. Eyes are too tired.

My beer is following social distancing guidelines whilst waiting to get in the pint glass.

I've put two bikes up on ebay - Ridgeback MX24 kids bike and my fixie. They have only been on for an hour and someone has asked for a buy it now price for the Ridgeback. We've had the bike about 10 years, and it wasn't new when we got it. It's cleaned up well and everything works, including the 'suspension'. Don't mind if it goes now, or by next week, just want the extra space. Shame my fixie is going, but I don't use it, and I may want a new 'project'.

Have you got a 2 metre straw to drink it through as well?

A 12 mile commute, easy peasy or are you just a 'weekend warrior'.

I'm afraid the hill put me off. I'd have walked most of it pushing my Palm Beach!

Morning all. I'm feeling a little out of sorts today so, if anybody has any spare sorts, could they send them over to me?

Also, there's a strange electronic pulsing hum somewhere nearby that I can't trace. It's not a mains hum, it's closer to an e than a badly tuned g, and it pulses at around 90 times per minute. It's not loud but it's not quiet enough for me to forget about either. So I'm wearing earplugs to shut it out.

The sound of silence!!

Lovely birds, surprisingly common in London.

It's not tinnitus. Earplugs shut the noise out. I did go out of the flat and could still hear it, then I went to the stairwell, where there was a constant hum at the same frequency. If it's the same source, why would it be constant in one place but pulse everywhere else?

Two hums at almost the same frequency, say 1Hz apart, will appear to pulse.

See you've figured this. I don't s'pose anyone near you has solar panels. They have to produce an AC signal, could be one has sync problems. Or maybe a couple of fans, one with rather stiff bearings?

Looks like the Ridgeback has sold - buyer coming tomorrow.

The pint glass lives with me, so we don’t need to maintain distance.

Oh heck, the cat was trying to catch it yesterday. Are they poisonous?

Cats ?


Yes ! The Adder is our poisonous snake .

Yes, 1Hz apart will give 1 pulse per second. I counted 90 pulses in a minute earlier but it's now pulsing at around 50 times per minute, so it's now less than 1 Hz.

I do have pretty sensitive low-frequency hearing - I think it developed playing bass instruments over the years. So today I'm definitely a hummer.
Though, when it comes to the statement below, I have to underline that I don't have a downstairs toilet:
Downstairs toilet Hum strongly perceived.
