She’s still at it. It’s relentless. No matter it almost drives me crazy. It’s all the time. The humming I mean.

Her humming is charming, suggesting contentment... it’s what she hums that irritates. Always ‘Alouette, gentille Alouette’, a song about plucking feathers, beak and what have you from a lark. It’s unconscious; she doesn’t realise she’s humming.

Today though, she was watching the Trooping of the Colour. Lo and behold, after the pageantry she started humming catchy marching tunes... but each one she hummed quickly morphed into the bird song.

She claims she hates it too... says it’s her drug.

    It always seems to be tunes I hate that get stuck in my head.
