Going mad and hearing things

Posted on September 30, 2014 By admin

I’ve been hearing a high-pitched whine for the last couple of hours. It’s been getting louder and louder. It’s been driving me completely batshit. Katy, who will undoubtedly read this, will shake her head and groan because I’m prone to hearing things like this. Even though I’m completely deaf at some frequencies – generally when she’s talking to me – I can zero in to some noises and begin to obsess about them. Which is what has been happening. I know that some of our power adapters have an electric hum to them. That’s not it. Sometimes the cat water pump has air in it. That’s not it. It is a very directional noise, coming from the kitchen area. I’ve ruled out that it’s not electric or coming from an appliance by turning off the breakers to most of the front part of the apartment. It could be the building ventilation, but I can’t think where it’s coming from. It’s not coming from Bean’s cartoons. It’s not coming from the fish tanks, laptop adapters, phone and tablet chargers, lights, fluorescents, taps…..

I JUST KNOW IT’S DRIVING ME MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

Update: Well, shiiiiiit. Fucking facepalm.

That whistle that’s been driving me up the walls for the last 2 hours? It was coming from a bottle of coke zero left on the counter with the lid not properly screwed on.

Vendanges

Posted on September 29, 2014October 16, 2019 By admin

Yesterday was the last day the oldies were in town. Bean and I took them to the airport this morning on the train. We did manage to give them a proper send-off though. Yesterday was the Vendanges at the Morges city vineyard. We took the little land train from the CGN dock, visited the vineyard itself, then spent an hour harvesting grapes. We had a lovely picnic on top of the hills, got thoroughly hammered on very good local wine, got some to take back home, then went back home and got ready to go see the girl. The weather was perfect for it and Bean thoroughly enjoyed himself! All in all, a perfect way to say thank you :)

That boy…

Just went to check on the child before turning in. He’s snoring away in his bed… wearing his sunglasses. I tried to get them off, but he’s sleeping sideways so they won’t budge. That boy…

Quote of the day

She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
