Somethings ticking

I’m sitting in my kitchen and something is ticking.

It’s not the cooker clock and I don’t own any other type of clock.

It’s seriously doing my head in now cos I can’t figure out where the damn noise is coming from

It sounds a bit too regular? Uniformed? Evenly spaced (dunno what the word is I’m looking for but all those will do )

Sounds like a fridge defrosting itself

I think it’s this. He must be a very good dancer to keep in such perfect rhythm

A drip could be regular and is probably the most likely cause... unfortunately

Those two spoons which fell behind the cooker and you forgot about are mating.

Please check in regularly so we know the clog wearing spider didn't get you.

Ah ha, I’ve found it.

After walking from one end of the kitchen to the other several times (because it always sounded like it was coming from the other end to the one I was at), switching off plugs, pressing my ear up to the cooker clock just in case and then standing very still cos for a minute I thought it might have been me ticking…I’ve finally realised it was coming from my laptop charger that was plugged in to an extension lead
