- I've written about my Encounters with Remarkable Biscuits over the years, mmm biscuits – http://bit.ly/louisa-biscuits #
- @davidsmalley thousands of pounds?! how come that much? I think it only costs us about £300 a year extra to be ltd rather than a partnership in reply to davidsmalley #
- Had a dream that I was using World of Warcraft's Track Humanoids map view to follow Star Trek characters around Liverpool. I might be a nerd #
- Katherine & I are recovering from our evening of theatrical 'entertainment' by consuming oversized slices of chocolate cake. #
- @thattommyhall It was…interesting. Bigger screens/subtitles would have improved it a lot: they were distractingly, squint-inducingly small in reply to thattommyhall #
- The cats can't decide where to focus their attention – the man with the chainsaw or his two dogs in our garden. #
- Had a fun day, intermingling work, playing with the tree surgeon's dogs in the garden and tea'n'caking with Katherine & Joe. :D #
- Exhausted. Sorted the giant pile of ivy and branches in the garden, wood stacked to season. Leftovers for lunch now :) #

- @johnleach given K & I use "the office" as a euphemism for vaginas, I'm glad the drilling & banging is happening in your office, not mine in reply to johnleach #
- @TweetsByAlex A shambles is too harsh but it could easily be a lot better – better use of titles tags & more keyword-y URLs for a start. :) in reply to TweetsByAlex #
- My sewing-by-numbers kit arrived from @_leethal_ – can't wait to get started, what will the mystery animals turn out to be??! :) #
- Looking for new internal doors. Every single company website is unusable in one way or another, making a dull task even shitter. Sigh. #
- Today, I have mostly been getting excited by iron door knobs and aquaponics. So very wild. #
- Up very late with melted pre-fuse box wires, waiting for electricians. The excitement of being an adult never ends. #
- Still waiting-a lot of electricians seem to be all talk when it comes to emergency call outs at 4am. Second mains guy due soon, hopefully. #
- Yay mains people here at last. Couldn't get hold of another electrician though so burglar alarm will be going off until power is restored… #
- Would very much like to apologise to all our neighbours for the noisy crap last night inc. 20mins of burglar alarm at 5am. Sorry Greengates. #
- Have been email massacre (emassarce): something that was marked to-do 2 years ago isn't going to get done, time to file & forget about it #
- Forgot how nice a good egg mayo sarnie can be. #
- Trying to think of a subtle way to get @johnleach to make me a cup of tea but make it seem like it's his idea to brew up.This subtle enough? #
- @sarahjarvis actually, you kinda can polish them. but you still probably wouldn't want to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBj6PonX14A in reply to sarahjarvis #
- Doesn't think she's understood a word said in the last ten minutes. #satinbetweentwogeeks #
- I'm too old to be made to feel this shit by teenage girls. #
1. We have Penguin biscuits with our tea and I deadpan the joke on the back to John. As usual, he tries to solve the puzzle with logic: “it’s always a pun to do with it being black and white… living in the Antarctic… not being able to fly… about its flippers or beak…” On this occasion, for the first time in a long time, he’s right.
(Best Penguin wrapper joke ever: “Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels.”)
2. My pink & purple cowl, which went missing in December, is found. I wear it home to celebrate.
3. A comment I made on Twitter generates a text message, which in turn makes a cup of tea and a muffin magically arrive in my hand. It’s the 2010 equivalent of the replicators from Star Trek.
- I seem to spend a lot of time waiting for buses in bingley. Must learn the bus times… #
- Momentary power outage in greengates = burglar alarms going off everywhere. Had to enlist 4 people to help recall our alarm code. #
- @caius until 2 weeks ago, I had never watched a star wars film. i didn't even really watch it then, just on the same room while I was WoWing in reply to Caius #
- Just had some very pleasant dealings with HMRC. Am expecting day to become night, up/down and horses to start eating each other etc etc. #
- Talks herself out of a walk to the post office. Leaving the house is for LOSERS. #
- I'm always impressed when the cats managed to press key combos when jumping on my laptop – Carbon just hit Ctrl+P six times in a row #
- Had one of those dreams where you wake up still angry at the person in it.Might lash out next time I see him-will probably deserve it anyway #
- Horsforth today is proof that everyone spent last year bumping uglies in a bid to save money during the credit crunch. Babies *everywhere*. #
- Today was perhaps the wrong day to tidy the garden at the old house. C*O*L*D. Needed to be done though, estate agent taking pics on Monday. #
- Engaged in a fierce linguistic battle with @johnleach over whether bacon & crumpets is "bumpets" or "crumpon" #
- @tim_waters yay! hope you'll be very happy there. you should get a cat! ;) in reply to tim_waters #
- Has a bloody lip after being headbutted by the cat. #
- Got overwhelmed at drama: the kids' 1st rehearsal & my first time looking at the script. It'll come together but right now, *head explode*. #
- Looked after BabyJoe while Katherine was busy. A calamity-free sojourn aside from when I threw baby milk all over both of us. Sticky now. #
- Left alone in the office while everyone else is making tea/emptying bins. Wish I had 5 whoopie cushions. #
- Autopilot. Nearly got on the bus to the old house not the new one. #
- Sounds like all the cool kids are at NWRUG this evening. The draw of Brightbox-sponsored pizza, eh? :) #
- meh. #
- For dinner, I would like bbqed king prawn, mango & pepper chunk kebabs. Am likely to have fish'n'chips. Not quite the same but still ace. #
- The cat is sniffing my laptop warily as if he can smell the dogs I'm reading about on the Dogs Trust website. #
- @tim_waters i was thinking about the horse/car idea the other day, and whether i could get feasible around on a horse. answer: probably not. in reply to tim_waters #
- anyone want an A6(ish) hard cover moleskine week-to-view 2010 diary? i bought it by mistake – thought it was A5. *annoyed with myself* #
- @EMERGERecycling this might be outdated now but it used to be <a name="anchor-name"></a> on the para … in reply to EMERGERecycling #
- @EMERGERecycling then <a href="page.html#anchor-name"> for the link in reply to EMERGERecycling #
- Have managed to forget all my creative & thrilling poll ideas in the time it took me to sign up to PollDaddy & create a custom style. Sigh. #
- I accept I'm going to HTML-hell because I am too lazy to open style.css & put styling in my HTML instead but am too tired to care. #
- Likes this article – http://bit.ly/complain-less-plan-more – very much how I'm trying to think at the moment. (via @johnleach) #
- Wearing a blanket like a sarong to cut out lower-back drafts. Not a sexy look. #
- @tim_waters the refectory? they used to do fantastically odd combo lunches there. I once had pasta bake, with boiled potatoes & cauliflower. in reply to tim_waters #
- The office is super warm for a change and we're all full of pizza. If we make it until hometime without falling asleep, I'll be amazed. #
- @tim_waters I concur. I spend half my life bouncing between those states and it's not fun at all. in reply to tim_waters #
- Has done loads of really great work today – stuff I've been putting off for ages. Not enough externally-billable hours though, boo. #
- Learned why you shouldn't leave a fortnight-old glass of orange juice dregs on your bedside table next to your glass of water. *bleugh* #
- Increasingly strange/interesting music at Moosewrench in Leeds. Feel somewhat disorientated/detached. Probably what the bands intended. #
