- Had an ace Saturday in Todmorden with @strowger78 &@creosotethewife; then a lovely walk, 2 bbqs & an emergency vet visit yesterday. Busy! #
- @tim_waters she was very weak/drugged up yesterday but a bit livier today, still not right though. Sorry for rushing you guys out! in reply to tim_waters #
- Am largely failing at using the internet today. Sigh. #
- Getting annoyed at how the remnants of things past are still bogging me down. Trying to shake them off but it's slow progress. #
- Found out from John B that allotments are a legal right, not a privilege: the council HAS to provide one within a reasonable amount of time #
- I feel some serious "give us an allotment" letter writing coming on… Well worth a shot. #
- @philcooper yes, I read that. I think I can easily get 6 people nearby to join in. Anyone else in #bd10 up for some allotment letterwriting? in reply to philcooper #
- Picked nearly 3kg of blackberries this evening. Got a day of jam making and cold smoking (cheese, chillis & eggs) planned for tomorrow, woo. #
- @SlowFoodWYorks can we have two Mushroom forage tickets please? (one for me and one for @johnleach) in reply to SlowFoodWYorks #
- Going back to the old house to paint today – the reverse of a year ago (living there, coming to paint here in every spare minute). #
- A good day's work from Team Padesco – bedroom (of old house) walls stripped and repainted. Loft & living room to follow on Sunday. #
- @thattommyhall no and I think he was a little disappointed that I provided mains electric rather than diesel-fuelled power. in reply to thattommyhall #
- Freaked out by how clear the replacement double glazing units are. Got used to seeing everything through a misted up haze. Real life HD. #
- Want to learn how to make cheese next weekend? Need another person for course to run! http://www.lowimpact.org/bill_quay_cheesemaking.htm #
- Windows replaced by http://www.airedalesecurity.co.uk/ – great guys, did a great job for a great price. Highly recommended. #
- Always amazed how out of place bold text can be rendered completely invisible even when I'm looking for it. #
- @SlowFoodWYorks Fine by us. Very much looking forward to it :) in reply to SlowFoodWYorks #
- Dog just used her "I need a wee" routine to get me off the sofa then stole my seat. #
- @thattommyhall dude, you mean there's something wrong with doing that? in reply to thattommyhall #
- Am still amazed how well the cats & dog get along. They're happy to be around her & sit/stand on her when she's asleep. So cute :) #
- @strowger78 we had a slimline in Armley, think I prefer the flexibility of the full size for doing big stuff occasionally. in reply to strowger78 #
- @strowger78 if i was buying one now, i wouldn't care about size, just want one where i can easily suspend the power-sucking heat cycle. in reply to strowger78 #
- @strowger78 feline resources, surely? in related news, we met an awesome cat in armley today – a shadow version of a tabby :) in reply to strowger78 #

- Had a few days off from the internet – quiet, sorting-out-my-head days. Back to work now. #
- I've been thirsty for the last 3+ hours. Perhaps I should have a drink. #
- Anyone had any experience of MoreThan as an insurer? They're nearly half the price of my existing one – seems too good to be true. #
- @TweetsByAlex Only the general web design tip of making sure it works in different widths.Seen many Twitter bgs that only work on widescreen in reply to TweetsByAlex #
- @giannitedesco I'm still holding it down: 13.5yrs since both the last time I puked&the last time I ate spaghetti from a can #vomitmoratorium in reply to giannitedesco #
- @johnleach nor the bourbon biscuit unit. a tragic shame indeed. in reply to johnleach #
- Have spent 12? 13? hours playing with CSS & WordPress today. It's a miracle I've not gone insane, really. #
- Making a picnic to eat in the woods while out on our dog walk :) #
- I love insurance companies' "type of business" lists: I can work in the docks, as a blacksmith or as a wine seller but *nothing* IT related. #
- the closest I can get is "electricity industry" since we use electricity to work. #
- @thattommyhall they do say "pick the nearest business area" and in that list, electricity is the nearest area. (not going with them anyway) in reply to thattommyhall #

- @strowger78 I support your new regime. It's much better than the crimes against humanity @johnleach was plotting earlier (Russell Watson). in reply to strowger78 #
- After allowing him control of the music delivery tube, I now no longer support @strowger78's regime change. #
- Anyone want a relatively cheap 2bed house in Leeds? Needs doing up but full DG, ace CH, next to park/near shops/bus routes, 1mile from city. #
- @kaerast we were going to rent it but it needs doing up first & we don't have the time/energy to do that. prefer to sell & forget about it. in reply to kaerast #
- @emmakirton Yes, that one. I bought it after renting there for 18months. Trying to sell it now, suspect renting will be too much hassle. :) in reply to emmakirton #
- Wishes @strowger78 was in charge of the music again today. @johnleach is refusing to catch my eye or change the music. Bah. #
- @emmakirton thanks for the RT :) in reply to emmakirton #
- I don't know why I always put off doing our business accounts – I really enjoy it when I finally get around to doing it. #
- Just got a second – much much better – quote for replacing our kitchen & office windows. Now have to tell the pestering first guy no. Ugh. #
- Doesn't know why she fucking bothers. #
- New 3BT post: Refreshing, so glad he asked, greetings http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/08/refreshing-so-glad-he-asked-greetings/ #
- Need some new music in my life. Stuff with interesting lyrics preferably. Any suggestions? #
- @kaerast hehe, they're well fun. I love how clear her accent is when she's singing :) in reply to kaerast #
- Listening to Pulp & remembering an old friend. We didn't meet up in the year 2000 liked we'd planned. Not sure I want to see him fully grown #
- Last week a window company quoted us £1250 for a job, now saying they'll do it for £840. Shows how much they thought they could rip us off! #
- Enjoying _rahim's party rings. (#notaeuphemism) #
- New 3BT post: After the chicken run, stepping stone, repeating, evening walk, giveaway smell http://bit.ly/dAvanR #
- .@johnleach is claiming the jointly-bought lego is his. he is lying. time to call the whole thing off? #
- Looking at pictures of snowy landscapes and having World of Warcraft flashbacks: fighting Ice Thistle yetis near Everlook. #LikeNamForNerds #
- .@johnleach's spaghetti sauce smells awesome, can't wait to eat it. #notaeuphemism #
- Considering going back to bed. #
- Just sent Lily for a walk for the next-door-but-one neighbour and their dog – her first walk without us. Felt like the first school. #
- Lily ran home as soon as she was let off lead. Now sulking at being forced to go in the first place. Reminds me a lot of my time at nursery #
- Had a lovely walk to the meadow with Lily & Boron. When we got there, B & I cuddled in the sun while Lily did dog things. Win all round. #
- Anyone got any *personal* finance software recommendations (web-based or linux)? (not freelancing/small business ones) #
- @strowger78 Just playing with that at the moment since I'm obv familiar with Xero. Got some probs that seem almost insurmountable though. in reply to strowger78 #
- @thattommyhall setting up spreadsheets seems more work than just importing statements into decent software. Plus auto-made graphs, purr… in reply to thattommyhall #
- @strowger78 heh. personal xero also has less graphs on the dashboard than business xero, that's another black mark against it. in reply to strowger78 #
- Spent all evening trying different personal finance software apps. All either massively over-complicated or missing key basic features. Sigh #
- No internet this morning, boo. Have been trying to write an article offline, got 2000 words, all useless, sigh. #
- Deliberately lost in the woods. Found fallen down buildings, odd manmade structures & cool fungi. @johnleach will be well jealous. #
- Also i know it's evil but i love the smell of himalayan balsam #
- Just had one of those moments where you think you know where you're going but have actually just walked in a circle. Now stuck in a holl … #
- Oh, fyi, my marker to tell me i'd walked in a circle was a hole that looked like a shallow grave. Possibly not so ace. #
- (The texted tweet which got cut off ended "now stuck in a holly bush after a path suddenly ended. Ace") #
- Trying to decide whether I should spend the afternoon doing or sitting. Sitting is looking like a forerunner at the moment. #
- Shopping for jam making supplies has used up all my jam making energy. At least I have it in for next time. And I also have ice cream. #
