Unbridled laughter is echoing from our bathroom.
Today Child A bought an old joke book for 1€ from the #library, and is reading it on the loo. Apparently sh-t's funny.

Today I had another regular ear cleaning at the ENT doctor, because apparently I need that now. He pulled out of each ear a lump of wax the size of a rice crispy. In just six months! That doesn't seem right, but apparently it's just the way my body is. Yay middle age I guess.
PS. That content warning reads like a list of bands John Peel just played.
I don't normally like to be down on music. People like different things, I don't have to like it, that's fine.
That said: I cannot express just how little I care about Frank Sinatra's music.
Yawns and stretches.
Good morning Fediverse, what are we doing this fine Monday morning?
Checks feed - oh I see we're arguing about open source licenses again.
Me making my sandwiches for work tomorrow. Why, yes, we did have a children's party. Why ever do you ask?
Is it acceptable to take your filthy, suncream, sweat and sand covered children through a carwash on a cargo bike?
Asking for a friend.

Next can we have that hire car companies are not allowed to charge a child/booster seat as it's basic safety equipment, please?
The German name for the game Hungry Hungry Hippos is "Hippo Flip", which is stupid.
If you're going to use an English name, why change it, especially to something that doesn't alliterate anymore?
What's even more stupid is that the German for a Hippo is Flusspferd [lit. River Horse]. So you could have called it "Flusspferd Flip" - that's a way better name, and actually #German! Such a missed opportunity.
I'm in a training most of today. Getting to watch the instructors struggle to answer the random, mostly unrelated, questions from the audience is always awkward.
Coming home with more salami than I expected.
As part of 'Making Tax Digital' the UK will soon force people to use proprietary software to file certain types of tax return. If you disagree, think people should have control over their data, that HMRC alone should be in charge of HMRC's job, that you shouldn't have to pay random companies just to pay your own taxes, I suggest you sign this UK e-petition:
This is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfcxnqS5prc
You know what, after the 200th time of asking, I still don't want the Reddit app.
I believe I have discovered a new fundamental universal force: that between Bolognese sauce and Child B's elbows.
Every way B turns, leans or reaches at the table, their elbow lands in, or drags through, some Bolognese sauce.
Now I need to apply for some funding to investigate further. At the same time I could see if more or less Bolognese sauce lands on B's pullover if the Bolognese is on a spoon, or being fired by a particle accelerator.
