• I like the rhythm of next door's tumble dryer spinning against the party wall, gives the office a womb-like quality. Making me sleepy though #
  • Saw a jay in the garden at lunchtime. Silent bob nowhere to be seen though. #
  • .@johnleach just quietly moved his head up & down until i realised the HILARIOUS joke he was making re: my last tweet. I might leave him. #

  • Following @manupatree's cue (http://bit.ly/dpzISO), I pickled some wild garlic pods today. Might try making something tapenade-y tomorrow. #
