Today in Why Am I Like This: at an Airbnb, I dropped my keys (car house bike) under the decking & spent a panicked few minutes lying on my front playing the highest-stakes grabby-claw game with some BBQ tongs. It worked! Beautiful weekend in Bath, we cycled the Two Tunnels today

Obsessed with this Discworld display and reading order guide at Mr B's Emporium in Bath!!

At the risk of being surprised that people like us did the exact same thing as us, there were so many metalheads at Centre Parcs. We should have started a club.

That's it, I'm hamster shaming.

"Angry squirrel spawn point" wasn't on the Airbnb listing

Spent a beautiful weekend with friends in Snowdonia and woke up to sunrises like this

Ten years with Adam, Mythron Wanderer! Looking forward to whatever the next decade brings. You are always so wonderful to me.

Getting hints of Endoplasmic Reticulum from this boulder

My new water bottle makes an embarrassingly loud squeaky sound. When I use it in public, I've caught myself doing the most British thing imaginable - looking at it with fake surprise like I also had no idea that it would do that.

Yesterday, I was having a mug of tea in the conservatory after getting back from a run, when a chunky piece of fish fell out of the sky and landed heavily on the roof. Adding "fish falling on head because a red kite dropped their lunch" to the list of running-related hazards. 👍

Ohh I was the 7th woman to finish the Henley 10km! Proud of that! The first ~2.5km was a solid uphill, it chucked it down, and I got stuck walking behind a van for a while (that's a first). But it was a fabulous route. Really enjoying the small, local 10km races this year.

I dunno BBC News (UK), this feels like a lot of babies for the average woman to have in two years.

How much Crunchy Nut is it normal to buy in one shopping trip? I loaded up the conveyor belt and the woman in Tesco's said "ah, you have a bunch of kids I see!" 🙈

Me: *intricately carving a pumpkin* The carrots I threw in the food processor: .....wow Me: *gives it a cute little face* Carrots: oh WOW.

Thanks Strava! 👍🍑

Playing a knock-off version of Trivial Pursuit from 20 years ago with my parents. Questions have ranged from: "how many albums has Elvis Presley got into the hit list" (97) to "which star is closest to the Earth" (the sun).

Cycling past Oxford Christmas Market. Looks like the crowds are yet to build up. A tinny rendition of Mary's Boy Child plays from the speakers. Man's voice, over a PA system: "yes, it looks like we have the production of a new waffle!!!!"
