Watching the video I took of my 19mo old nephew dancing to some Morris dancers at the Swanage folk festival recently, he certinaly had all eyes on him. Also remembering my sister claiming that "he would not be interested in trains" when we all went on the Swanage railway, until we got on the platform at Norden and before the train was in (just some wagons and a tender on the other line) he started going "Choo, Choo! Choo, Choo!"

Since the start of last month, it has made me feel depressed walking past it each day, but reading this changes that: https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink/house-of-fraser-hull-signs-3332852

Just bumped into a friend in the pub that used to play bass in the band I roadied for back in the day. I hadn’t seen him for a few years and it was great to catch up.
When he went to the loo we ironically did the internationally recognised heavy metal sign to each other just like we did in the old days.

The large set of the original my first Thomas I got him for his 1st birthday (2nd hand as you can't get Oliver in the newer one) earlier this year might have helped

Leaving work an hour ago for a fortnight off
Seeing that the young lady sat next to me was reading "The Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rees. A text that I remember studying well over twenty years ago for A level, on the way to a University open day in Loughborough. My first trip on the IC125 !

I got a PB at my local parkrun this morning. First one I’ve had since the start of May.
Well go on then, what was it?
Mrs C has been doing park runs over the last year (she bottled it this morning because it was blowing a gale).

It was a beautiful morning for it - in East Lothian anyway. Looked mingin’ down south though.
That’s excellent, well done. Especially as you hadn’t run for a while.
I know her time is probably nowhere near yours (it’s definitely over 30), but I can see how much good it’s doing her and she’s really enjoying doing it.

Getting off the rattly old double decker that Stagey saw fit to put on the X5 today. I'm sure it was done with good intentions due to a broken down coach, and it was turned at Bedford to get it back to Cambridge and get the coach swapped back in once fixed, but my ears were rattling and I felt sick, so stepping off into fresh (if damp) air was VERY pleasant.

Seeing a Rolls Royce with a parking ticket, made my day did that, lol.
Finishing work at 04:30 today knowing I’m not back for 3 shifts & there’s a roast chicken Sunday dinner waiting for for me to be washed down with 4 or 5 bottles of nice cool lager.
Oh and the stupid cat setting off the parking sensors of my car on the road this morning. I’d parked up & suddenly there was a beep beep beep from the side of the car. I got out & the cat was sat by the front wheel with his stupid welcome face.
17 yrs old & still a crazy cat!!

Two schoolgirls moving a worm of the footpath so it didn't get trodden on.
On my way home from work today in a bus stop by the Garston Cenotaph (By Liverpool South Parkway) I saw two girls in dressing gowns sharing a spliff and thought "that reminds me of my childhood". It really didn't, ha ha.

Checked up on a friend after an operation and he's doing alright.
Calling to cancel my current internet turned out to be incredibly easy. No grief or pressure to stay. Almost made me want to stick with them, but when I can increase the speed tenfold for less than I'm paying now that would just be silly.

A bit of Schadenfreude. A guy in I know dumped his girlfriend because he had taken a shine to someone else only to find the someone else had just started dating someone else. The guy in question has messed around women before.
