- @davidsmalley we went out during a little break in the rain earlier. Lily got *slightly* muddy. Bathtime later for the furry filthpot! in reply to davidsmalley #
- Cleaned dried mud of Lily's belly ahead of @strowger78 coming to tickle it tomorrow. #
- Cat & dog both curled up, bums touching, on the sofa. Too cute. #
- @sarahjarvis or a couple of months if you'd swapped to wearing muu-muus and claimed it was a new fashion trend. in reply to sarahjarvis #
- Had to interrupt a business phone call to stop the dog chasing squirrels. #thejoysofworkingfromhome #
- @sarahjarvis your question should be "do i eat a 4th cupcake or not?"; the first three don't need questioning. in reply to sarahjarvis #
- Off to Salvo's with @johnleach tonight for our first proper date night in flippin' ages. Can't wait. :D #
- Full of Salvo's. Happy. #
- Wild garlic & leftover mash potato cakes. Y.U.M.M.O. #almostafreelunch (Eaten with @johnleach-paid-for smokey bacon so still free to me ;) ) #
- @davidsmalley that's why i booked team always-late onto a direct train ;) in reply to davidsmalley #
- Boron's head smells of biscuits … and burped wild garlic gas. Funny that. #
- Had a good run around the Chevin with Katherine & Joe, and Lily-dog. All got rather muddy but was fun. #
- Would really rather like a nap. #
- @tim_waters ooh, maybe. would a (well behaved, ever so pretty) doggie be welcome too? in reply to tim_waters #
- Just had one of those "the food isn't very good but there is lots of it" moments with a random takeaway. Leftover dhal & naan for tomorrow. #

- Completely forgot I had a meeting with our IFA: plasterers working in two rooms, all the furniture from those in the other room = chaos #
- I'm just glad I decided to get dressed this morning, else it could have been really embarrassing… #
- Had a lovely walk at lunch with @johnleach & lily: lunch in apperley bridge then around the marina. now want to cry with frustration. gah. #
- Grabbed the extendable lead string of the bolting dog, now index finger is one big friction burn. Going to be blistery in the morning. #
- @johnleach damn right i was. in reply to johnleach #
- Anyone want to do a sausage making course this Sat? Places booked & paid for but no way to get there (Ripon-ish) now John is on dog duty… #
- Despite it generally being chaos & the kids looking like they're going to kill themselves during happy songs, i rather enjoyed drama today. #
- I can hear a horse clip-clopping but can't see said animal. How can something so big be hiding? #
- Found some cool coral-crested fungus while walking the dog in the woods today – first time I've seen it, it's well weird #
- Run! Run! Run! Run! Thunk! reminds us that the cat flap is still locked (the dog shouldn't have been trying to use it anyway). #
- Got all excited about an evening of WoW. Dinner in the oven, a drink in my hand, logged in, took 2 steps in-game then the laptop broke. Gah! #
- Yet another phrase I never thought I would type: "although i think the hamster might be a little more bitey than a tampon" #
- I always find it slightly disarming when the kids at drama talk to me like a human being. Had a fab chat about politics w/ one of them today #
- The cats and dog have switched shifts this evening: the cats are now on 'entertaining the humans' duty while the dog is snoozing on the bed. #
- Anyone got a woodworkers' lathe we could borrow? Want to try some stuff to see if it's worth getting our own :) #
- Starting the working day with a warm dog sat on my feet. Fucking A. #
- Lily's just discovered that sometimes cars, vans & people – people WITH DOGS!!! – go by the front of the house. How exciting! #
- @tim_waters isn't it just! washing out on the line, dog tired after sunshine-soaked walks in the woods, and the mini-eggs circulating, ace! in reply to tim_waters #
- Is dog-elbow –like tennis elbow but caused by a pulling-on-lead dog– a real medical condition? Because I think I have it. #
- Also got a knackered ankle – not used to so much exercise! #
- So I wasn't audio-hallucinating mews & bell tinkles – one of the neighbours' cats got trapped in our house overnight, only just emerged. #
- @strowger78 huge white & black very fluffy boy cat from next door but one. called daisy despite having a penis. he's a scaredy but likes me. in reply to strowger78 #
- I'm giving away some awesome lady things on Recycle This (@recycle_this) this week – such fun! have to do more giveaways in the future :) #
- @Doziej I'm sorry for your loss & I hope Murphy is as lovely as Lily is – although at 9, she's exhausting me, I can't imagine a 3yr old! :) in reply to Doziej #
- The dog is actually inspiring us to keep the house tidier. Getting up earlier, exercising more, tidier house – very un-Peachlike! #
- does anyone know of a train booking company where I can speak to actual people who will actually help me? trainline & nationalrail = failure #
- OH: "your nipples are all random" #
- Trying to work out whether I'm feeling blue or just tired. #
- First dog/bath interaction was largely a success. She was a little scared in the bath but the bone afterwards more than made up for it. #
- @sarahjarvis and the lovely deep pile carpet for the dog to dry herself on afterwards. our bathroom is so practical! in reply to sarahjarvis #
- @strowger78 plus, it's orangey-red — the same colour as cat-biscuit sick, so that vomit would be camouflaged until stepped in. Perfecto! in reply to strowger78 #
- One week into being a cat-and-dog household, the animals spent the night sleeping six inches apart on the bed. They're ace. :D #
- Accidentally dipped my scarf in my tea. The perils of life in a cold office. #
- We lost our beloved cat Carbon very suddenly yesterday. Heartbreaking. http://bit.ly/carboncat :( #
- In loving memory of her keyboard stomping brother Carbon, Carla just marked 130 unread items as read Thanks Carla. Tharla. #
- @thattommyhall whoop whoop! we shall have to come to see it soon! in reply to thattommyhall #
- @davidsmalley #euphemism or #notaeuphemism? in reply to davidsmalley #
- Walked down to Idle to see my favourite mum-and-baby pair. Well, mum-and-little-gnome pair. #
- The @brightbox office is snug today. #
- White text on a cream background. Yes, that's a great colour decision, forum designer. Just fantastic. #
- Despite the absolute awfulness of Carbon being put to sleep on Monday, this week has actually been alright. Exciting stuff afoot tomorrow! #
- Just learnt that on the table, out of the way, is not out of the way enough for a little baggy of catnip. Bits everywhere, cat stoned of … #
- Might just have adopted the best dog ever. EVER. Photos soon. :) #
- Twitter – please meet Lithium 'Lily' Peach, our new springer spaniel http://bit.ly/lily-peach #
- The cats have decided being near the stove is worth braving the room with the sleeping dog in it. Good progress :) #
- Lily answered the question "can she fit through the cat flap?": yes, but not easily. And that was after a 30 minute walk. #
- @davidsmalley we'd have been up for it but it's been a tiring morning for team peach! in reply to davidsmalley #
- Ended up sleeping on the sofa with lily, she slept well once i was with her. Told her that in the peach household we start the day with hugs #
- Someone's fuck up 7 years ago is possibly going to cost us a LOT of money now. AWESOME. #
- Just saw a boy on the phone get pantsed by his friends. He was wearing MC Hammer trousers so deserved it. #
- Warmed up leftover gravy from the oven tray to pour over the cats' slow-roasted ox heart, now the house smells of stew. #crazycatlady #
- My boy's sexy vagEYEna is very popular on Reddit today – http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/b5v9f/chat_roulette_eye_vagina/ #
- @thattommyhall i ate 3 bits of lettuce with my giant pile of jerked chicken & dumplings – that means i had a healthy salad for lunch, right? in reply to thattommyhall #
- @andatche no probs, glad it fits :) in reply to andatche #
- Bloody hell, I've been disturbingly productive today. #
- Had a hypnopompic nightmare about coleslaw. Now off to meet some cat-friendly doggies in Liverpool, woo! #
- Met an ace dog today. :D #
- Awesome weekend – combined blasts of super productivity with many, many hours of game play. :D #
- Vet prodding & poking him until his tummy gurgled=£25; blood test=£45; to be told there doesn't seem anything wrong with him = so worth it. #
- @strowger78 the vet could tell just by looking at him that there is clearly something wrong with john in reply to strowger78 #
- I love past louisa, I really do. In Nov 2004, she blogged about something which saved me having to dig through boxes of stuff today. Aceness #
- @jeremyjarvis yay! congrats to both you and @sarahjarvis! in reply to jeremyjarvis #
- Whenever I drink from a wide-mouthed tumbler, I feel like Ally Sheedy's character in St Elmo's Fire when she's getting drunk with Kevin. #
- @thattommyhall that joke requires this at the end of it – http://www.instantrimshot.com/ in reply to thattommyhall #
- http://twitpic.com/13qqe6 – After stocking up when we moved in, I was down to my last box … then this arrived. Thanks @johnleach! #
- Ugh, the cat did a key combo which moved all the email from the inbox of one account to another. Taking forever to copy back. Thanks cat. #
- @tim_waters there used to be one in armley too, it was awesome. 25p book and cool bricabrac inc ace vintage fabric for under 50p. in reply to tim_waters #
- @tim_waters i've just realised, we've not seen your new place yet! we shall have to descend at some point :) in reply to tim_waters #
- @tim_waters mmm, cheese, sounds good. Saturday ok? The Gillroyd Parade have a gig at the Fenton on Friday. in reply to tim_waters #
- Trying to think of something I really need to do so I can say to myself "if I do X, I'll buy myself a WoW expansion pack as a reward." #
