Is there anyone following me who is likely to be both keen to do more singing and available in Cambridge on a Monday night? If you fancy trying singing Winter Wonderland in our ladies chorus, this is happening in November (see flyer/alt text for whens and wheres)

It's possible that dubbinning my sandals and @sciansell's boots last night and then leaving them in the conservatory to dry was an error. We forgot to shut the outside door, and when we came to look this morning only half each pair was in inside. The others were in the garden, I'm blaming the fox..

Sometimes, we go on family outings. Sometimes @sciansell.bsky.social goes on exhibit maintenance trips. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
In related news, the kids are having an awesome time at The Lookout in Bracknell Forest. Highly recommended. (Also has a really super play area).

This toaster is 23 years old... It was a gift from my guide company when I left for uni. (I'm not sure how old the tiles are.. but they were very definitely in the house before we were..)

I guess now is a good time to make sure folks going to @big-stem-network.bsky.social BIG event know that you've got a week to dig out and pack any lasers you'd like testing.
An alarming number of (especially cheap..) laser pointers are Dangerously Not What They Say They Are. We can check yours!

@camcitco.bsky.social I'm struggling to work out which heading on the website to report this on..
Bike/pedestrian cut through from Newmarket Road to Peverel Road, past Christ the Redeemer Church, the footpath/bike path divider is broken in a couple of places and looks like going soon in another.

Cake sale at the kids' school tomorrow. Very nice (non-British) dad at the school gate. "So, tomorrow morning we bring cake?" "Yes." "And tomorrow afternoon we buy it back again?" "Yep." "This is not even a Ponzi scheme, it is a mugging. But all the money is for the school?" "Yeah." "Oh, OK."
