- Made pizza for lunch. Ate too much pizza for lunch. #
- Made paneer today, first time in ages. 2ltrs milk made 400g cheese. Going to make bread from the whey if animals don't drink it all first. #

- @davidsmalley that's the excuse I use for my errant behaviour too. All my crap knees' fault. in reply to davidsmalley #
- Fan suddenly got really loud when I opened Firefox. Started panic-closing all my apps to stave off a crash. Turned out it was the cooker fan #
- Procrastinating over writing something. Now have the sharpest pencils in all the land. If I don't crack it soon, I might even tidy my desk. #
- Thought "I'll do that fun 15min design task to finish the week". Spent 2.5hrs on it & now want to redesign the whole website. B-bye weekend. #
- Hurrah! the sun's gone away – that means I can start cold smoking cheese without it all melting. Let the postponed birthday fun commence! #

Taglouisa_
- is sat directly above @strowger78 who is sat next to @johnleach, who is sat next to wriggling grunting dog still a bit damp with rain etc. #
- Day off to recover after last week's hecticness. This morning, I have mostly been sitting. The afternoon may involve similar. #
- "There's some mince pasta sauce in the freezer. No, wait, it's …curry? Is it curry? What type of curry? Let's have that" #whylabelsaregood #
- New 3BT post: A scene I reference way too much, treat time for them, treat time for me http://bit.ly/bQG6MK #
- Looking at photos of the house when we first got the keys/moved in (last September). Sometimes forgot how much we've changed! #
- New 3BT post: Mmm cheese, likes it there, cat love http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/07/mmm-cheese-likes-it-there-cat-love/ #
- Ace lunch courtesy of @johnleach, the garden & the chickens – marrow flower fritters made with our homegrown flowers, courgettes & eggs :) #
- Is there an emoticon for when you do the licking-between-your-fingers thing to mimic cunnilingus? \~/ maybe? #
- Weather warning for West Yorks: I'm just about to take the dog for a walk. Expect it to start raining really heavily in three, two, one… #
- A sales person rings the doorbell, I stop work, I go up stairs, I calm the dog, I'm polite, I say no thanks. Yes, I deserve the stink eye. #
- .@johnleach wanted fish for tea – made spicy plaice goujons, with new potatoes sauted with chilli & green beans. was yum! #
- New 3BT post: Hard copy, a different cat, hidden colour http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/07/hard-copy-a-different-cat-hidden-colour/ #
- I've got yellow fingers from eating Dutchpot curry and a purple tongue from the accompanying grape soda. Yum! #
- Took Lily to Leeds. She was less 'fraidy than we feared – likes the Sat. afternoon experience about as much as we do (ie, not much). #
- New 3BT post: Reflections, shiny, brilliant http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/07/reflections-shiny-brilliant/ #
- Cleaned poop from the coop, now back in pyjamas. Might get dressed again later to do some gardening things, also might not. #
- Bookmarks this page of poo pictures for future reference: http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0 Mmm chicken faeces. #
- Think we need to get rid of the chickens – they're causing @johnleach to pun terribly. http://is.gd/dwR8l & http://is.gd/dwR3Y #
- New 3BT post: Splattered everywhere, happy to see him, surprise success http://bit.ly/93zCdm #
- @manupatree ooh, look forward to reading that! I'm using up a marrow glut too: cake, a cheesy baked dish & chutney. Tempted to try rum too. in reply to manupatree #
- @sarahjarvis habit. I was taught to type that way and have to consciously make an effort not to do it. Hurrah for Find&Replace. in reply to sarahjarvis #
- Taking the day off work to strip the balcony ahead of painting. Really-really hope the rain stays off. #
- And I thought preparing woodwork/walls for painting was a ballache – grinding metal is ten times worse. I have dust everywhere. EVERYWHERE. #
- You know you're hungry when you're looking at mechanically recovered meat items in the freezer section of the shop and think 'yum'. #

- Just got to use a phrase I never thought I'd say: "would you please stop pecking at my bum crack?" #overfriendlychickens #
- Anyone know what this is? Found in woods. Wild plant book suggests creeping bellflower but doesn't seem bell-y… http://twitpic.com/23h839 #
- @EnglishFolkfan thanks for the wildflower help! The leaves here look different to that, I'll look at the whole plant again later though :) in reply to EnglishFolkfan #
- New 3BT post: Living art, relocation, no question http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/07/living-art-relocation-no-question/ #
- Spent the last 2 hours making a rat mask & ears-on-a-headband. If I can get them to Bingley in one piece, it'll be some sort of miracle. #
- New 3BT post: Mystery marinade, good show, cooling down http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/07/mystery-marinade-good-show-cooling-down/ #
- Hurrah, my rat mask/ears looked great on stage! Yay me and my craft skillz! Oh, and all the kids did a good job too. ;) #
- Um, where did the last hour go? I thought it was 4:30ish, not 5:15! #
- The bus is almost empty but i'm still stuck between 2 old guys narrating every inch of the journey & a woman shouting into her phone. Joy. #
- Take two bottles into the shower? No, swarfega and a scrubbing brush. Balcony near painted, my skin nearly stripped raw. #
- @strowger78 mmm firewood. we need to get some chopped too really – might wait until it's a little cooler than today though. in reply to strowger78 #
- Glad this week is over – lots of long, hot nights saying "ssh!" a lot. Kids did good. #

- Feel like I'm making finally progress in the Great Blog Reorganisation & Redesign of 2010, despite WordPress's "features". #
- @swirlyarts tell yourself reading blogs is "market research" then it's not only productive, it's vital to your business ;) in reply to swirlyarts #
- We've got frickin' chickens! At long, long last! :) #
- We have our first egg! It's a little small but we'll give them another chance to get it right before they go in the pot ;) #
- This is why I don't like upgrades: try to fix one thing, end up breaking networking & fonts in Firefox. Also fail to fix the original thing. #
- @really_good New post:: Chickens! http://www.thereallygoodlife.com/67/chickens/ [pics of our new chickens on my new blog! :) ] #
- The kids at class are so funny. Sick but very funny. #
- New 3BT post: Chickens, titters & giggles, wrong just wrong http://3bt.louisaparry.co.uk/2010/06/chickens-titters-giggles-wrong-just-wrong/ #
- You know what, Twitter? I think it's time for some music and some orange squash. #livingontheedge #
- Note to self: it's fine distracting the dog during the plugging-in-amp crackle but she'll jump anyway if the music starts w/ a guitar shriek #
- Also, she'll run and bark when the next guitar shriek sounds like a doorbell. Worst album choice ever. #
- Squirrels keep running across the railing even though they know the dog will chase them. Reminds me of the bunny suicides http://is.gd/dbcYX #
- I think my brain has crashed: I just forgot how to use an oven glove. FYI randomly wafting it at the oven shelf doesn't make thing happen. #
- New 3BT post: It wasn't even that cold, busy buzzing, perfectly put http://bit.ly/bGStqW #
- @EMERGERecycling aww, I wish you guys were in West Yorks (or me in Manchester I guess) – you always seem to post really interesting job ads! #
- New 3BT post: Refreshing, uplifting, productive, coincidence, helping hand http://bit.ly/cVvumK #
- Stayed up too late doing pointless geeky things. #
- Like having friends who are consistently later than me. Gives me time to bake scones even if I only start when they're due to arrive. #
- A jolly relaxing day: lunch & charity-shopping in Saltaire, a visit from @thattommyhall & Petra, afternoon tea with scones & a woodland walk #
- Really hope @johnleach goes back to drinking cider soon. I grew out of the Jovi, he seems to be growing into it. Worried for the years ahead #
- New 3BT post: Early morning, perfect results, good dog good dog http://bit.ly/dCv0Um #
- .@johnleach is still playing Livin on a Prayer on his uke. At 13, such behaviour would have made him my dream boyfriend. At 30, not so much. #
- And now we're analysing the lyrics to find "meaning". Shoot me now. #
- Spent the last 20mins chasing a mouseish thing around the dining room with a kids' fishing net & a plant pot, plus 2 cats & a dog in pursuit #
- @emmakirton oh! blast from the past! hope all is well with her & Liverpool :) It's strange to think it's 10 years since we graduated! in reply to emmakirton #
- Lovely evening walk around Thackley Woods with the houndy – worth waiting for @johnleach to join us :) #
- New 3BT post: Stroke, good dogs, crunch-crunch-crunch, stroke http://bit.ly/dzGnXA #
- Awful night's sleep combined with the most blatant state-of-my-mind dreams ever. On the plus side, I got to see dawn on midsummer's day. #
- Hurrah, after a slow start, my doorstep plant giveaway was a success! All gone to loving new homes. #greengates #bd10 #
- Frustrated at clueless so-called experts. Especially since we're paying them a lot of money for their "expertise". #
- Designing a new blog. As fun as it is frustrating. #
- Trying to decide what "quonch" is better used for – a euphemism or an insult: "I sneezed & stuff leaked out of my quonch"/"you dumb quonch" #
- mmm, rain smell. #
- Have spent the last hour pushing nettles into old pop bottles to make liquid fertiliser. *Several* stings. Comfrey would be less painful. #
