- Stumbled across the Box Office Poison book at the library last week. Really loving it – great artwork, great characters. Libraries rock. #
- @paulhorsfall: i have long been a fan of the bin men on; it's on the front of their trucks too. Bradford bin trucks aren't half as puntastic #
- Could someone with a copy of Excel do me a favour? I want to check some graphs (made in OpenOffice) work in a spreadsheet. #
- Thanks to @SalvosLeeds choc chilli brownies & the orechiette con speck tweets, my keyboard is now covered in drool. Need to go there soon! #
- We have a ceiling light in the dining room for the first time in nearly a year. Such a strange experience to be actually able to see things! #
- Also, we've stairs/landing lights for the first time in 2months. Feel like Shelley Long in The Money Pit when she discovers they have water. #
- @paulhorsfall: that tweet's about my boyfriend, isn't it? winning arguments by being loud is his forte ;) #
- Just sent a break-up email to our estate agents. It's not us, it's you. And the dire housing market. But mostly you. #
- ? @really_good: New post: Ten things to do while waiting for soap to trace http://www.thereallygoodlife.com/2426/ #
- @Scampering: are you going to sticky tape the fruit to the tree so it feels homegrown? ;) #

- @Scampering: dude, are you working through my to-make list? that's my next cheese too! it sounds like it'll be fun to make – i hope it is :) #
- @Scampering: oki! i've got next monday off work – i'll try it then. hope your ventures are a success today :) #
- Ooof, good cup of tea. #
- We were listening to some maudlin blues, I ask for something chirpier, @johnleach puts on Leonard Cohen's Songs from a Room.He's a funny boy #
- Had a headache all day. This is what I get for going out into the big blue room and talking to other people. Staying at home ftw. #
- We've been together for 9 years but every day I learn something new about @johnleach. Today: he can sing the Sweet Valley High theme tune. #
- @scrutz: he had street cred?! second new thing I've learnt about him today! ;) #
- Had an ace (if tiring) day at the Regional Youth Theatre Fest in York, including watching To Kill A Mockingbird. Back there again tomorrow. #
- Another good day at the RYTF in York: our performances went well, kids seemed to enjoy it & I had a nice pannini for lunch. All the win ;) #
- So very sleepy. #
- @swirlyarts: Ditto. The trees in the wood are really tall & leggy so sway like crazy & are scary loud. But still #notcomplainingreally ;) #
- Had a very frustrating dream then equally annoying first 10mins of waking trying to remember Marty McFly's mum's name. #firstsignsofsenility #
- My computer has a new-computer smell. #
- Just filled my fancy fountain pen with ink from a bottle and didn't spill any anywhere, not a drop. Am in shock. #
- Am happy that @johnleach is heading home earlier than expected but feel robbed out of an evening of bad films, cheese toasties & crochet. #
- @Scampering: I'd anticipated so much mess I thought I'd have to bring in one of those post-murder cleaning crews ;) #
- @sarahjarvis: I got mine from here http://is.gd/s2vQWr I've got a lamy studio 67 pen with a converter thing for filling http://is.gd/MYb33h #
- @Scampering: oreos, mint aero & ice cream. ok, it's not so much a smoothie as a hugely calorific milkshake but yum! ;) #
- I have achieved nothing this morning and have an eye-strain headache. Remind me never to get a new computer every again. #
- Absolutely shocked to find the mouse that came free from Dell isn't very good. #
- Been doing a fun little experiment today. Achieved little aside from that though. Sigh. #
- Saturday night's entertainment – waiting to see if I win some curtain rings on ebay. #livingonthefrickingedge #
- For those #livingonthefrickingedge with me, do not fear I won the curtain rings. Now what to do for the rest of the evening… #
- @Scampering: oooh! oooh! you do all the things I want to do! soap making is next on my list – please blog your recipe! exclamation marks! ;) #
- ? @really_good: Wooden planters made from scrap wood http://www.thereallygoodlife.com/1946/ [I had loads of fun making these!] #
- @jeremyjarvis: I've been wondering that for a while – last time I looked Xero Personal was unusable too :( #
- just made the mistake of asking @johnleach & @strowger78 what i should call my pending new computer. i stopped listening after about 10mins. #
- @Scampering: haha, I love the idea of giving it a full name with title – "Dr Reginald Blyth CBE FRCS". Far better than "new-computer" ;) #
- @Scampering: we've had a cat theme going on – my laptop is cougar, john's netbook is kitten, our server "lion" & the network "the pride" :) #
- @xbaz: i found out yesterday that one of my first crushes has a wikipedia page. (and i don't mean bert raccoon). #
- @xbaz: he's pretty hot but he's no eric from dungeons and dragons. #
- Collecting random-but-appropriate things from around our house to be improvisation props at class tonight. Hula hoop, yes; gas mask, no. #
- Had a lie in this morning. Feel almost human again. Strange how guilty I still feel about sleeping in late on a weekday. #
- Dog just tried to blame a five second fart on @johnleach. #upisnowdown #
- @Cats1957: in their younger days, our cats were up at dawn – now we've got them trained to sleep until about 9am! :) #
- Food poisoning. Spent the night delirious & in agony. When he woke up, I had to check with @johnleach what was real & what was deli-dreams. #
- It seems both someone building a giant ornate stone bridge over the beck & us sleeping at the bottom of the garden were both deli-dreams. #
- @Scampering: ooh you have a cheese press? bought or made? your house sounds full of all sorts of awesome fun things! am very jealous :D #
- While being food poisoned, I have read a novella about a plague which wipes out 8billion people in 2013 & a film about cooking rich food. #
- It has just come to my attention that my boyfriend is a nerd. #
- Six things I learned while making marmalade yesterday: http://www.thereallygoodlife.com/1806/ #
- Is there anything that looks dodgier than a big guy in an old army jacket digging in a wood at dusk? #
- Trimmed the brown bits off the plants in the bathroom. Feel that small task was more productive than anything else I've achieved today. sigh #
- Staff at the bank seemed bewildered by the new machines. Took 2 of us 10 mins to pay in 7 cheques. Nothing like time saving technology, eh? #
- Annoyed the bathroom fitter down the street's van isn't park outside his house on streetview. How else am I supposed to find his details? ;) #
- @Scampering: It's harder to say as it's not strictly pass/fail. 5 GCSEs grade A-C used to be almost equivalent – not sure if it still is. #
- @Scampering: I'm not sure how it translates to people but apparently 98.7% of GCSE exams taken in 2010 were passed, 70% at A-C grades. #
- Made a joke about utility companies at drama last night.Lead balloon.Apparently 15yr olds aren't the right audience for power company humour #
- Has yet to hear anyone say anything positive about quora. Lots of grumbling from geeks and non-geeks alike. #
- Not had the most productive week ever but you know what, it's friday night and @johnleach is making me risotto so *does a little dance* #
- Having to work out the various angles of triangles for the first time since I left school 16 years ago. #
- I don't know if I've ever adequately expressed my love of cream crackers. #
- @tim_waters: looks good! might have to make some myself :) #
- .johnleach said the other day "I don't know what I'd do without you. Probably blog more." My romantic boyfriend. #
- Using @strowger78 as a guinea pig #
- The drinks cabinet for this afternoon's activities at Team Peach Towers. http://twitpic.com/3r72h0 #
- The gin and unicum have come out of the actual drinks cupboard now. I suspect the rest of the afternoon will be far from productive. #
- @Squiggle: i wasn't silly enough to try that ;) just the lemon juice, vinegar, worchestershire sauce… #
- This morning I have fished my keys out of the bottom of a wheelie bin and failed to fill balloons with rice. An interesting day so far. #
- @Factory4Wrkshop: ooh one day and half day courses, how exciting! can't wait to see the list! #
- Visiting our old house feels like bumping into an ex: great memories together & it looks better than I remember it – but time to move on. ;) #
- Conversely visiting the new fancy Morrisons at Kirkstall is like meeting an ex, who blossomed after our relationship ended. Not as good. #
- I hate looking for new computers. Going to go for a desktop & notebook instead of one laptop for everything so twice the shopping fun. sigh #
- @strowger78: we were watching a youtube video of a springer playing with a cat's tail last night; first lily then boron went for the tv :D #
- I just cleaned my laptop screen. Anyone who has ever seen my laptop screen will understand why that is newsworthy. #
- @Scampering: snot ;) #
- The dog just woke up to find herself playing the ukelele. Looked slightly confused. #
