So Today carried an interesting conversation about closing toilet seats. Something us males forget often. So the "master of house" has come up with a cunning plan - namely to put creative objects on the cistern lid along with a small note with a reminder to do the task in question.

However as any psychologist will note - an initial surprise seeing a change of object soon gets ignored on repeated viewing - thus making the reminding effect redundant.

So this toilet object display gets changed daily.

It is early days but habits form fast and take ages to be broken.

To date the cistern has had displays of teddy bears, elephants, sea shells, and cryptic notes with question marks. Anything to keep that damn toilet lid down.

Oh - and i finally got back to working on the project in earnest after a week of distractions.
