• finally buys all the books that have been in her basket for weeks and weeks – a lovely hippy selection about chickens, cheese & leatherwork. #
  • @sugarquay no, not moved yet so the players are the old neighbours not new ones. moving sometime in the next few weeks, hopefully. in reply to sugarquay #
  • would not be surprised if their internet dies today: old lamppost on one side of the cable, new lamppost on the other. workmen look clumsy. #
  • watches a magpie mum practise tough love on her child to teach it to eat the cat food we’ve left out for the stray. #
  • @IdleSi i wish i’d seen the argh! bread before my lunch – i’d have replied with a surprised “oooh” bagel ;) in reply to IdleSi #
  • just got a stone in her shoe – the first time in years. thought that sort of thing died out in the 1980s, like white dog poo. #
  • doesn’t feel like she’s achieved much today. been tired :( #
  • watches the old lamppost being ripped out of the ground. I wonder what they do with them when they’re done… #
  • is surprised how easily said lamppost left the ground: it only took a bit of wiggling. will be so much easier to park outside the house now. #
  • forgot how good malted milk biscuits are when dipped in tea. #
  • isn’t found of the new white light lamppost outside the house: it’s like aliens landed and brought floodlights with them. #
  • just had the most stressful driving lesson ever. 2 mock tests then the car kept cutting out every time i took my foot of the gas. also hot! #
  • wants one thing to go her way this afternoon. ONE FUCKING THING. #
  • thinks it’s a close heat between who has a worse telephone-menu set-up: orange or hsbc. #
  • orange made me go through 6 menus and type in password digits then when it tried to pass me to a real person, said the call was barred. #
  • with hsbc, i jumped through 4 telephone banking hoops to book an appt at my local branch, then the person just emailed my branch my request. #
  • thinks it would have been quicker to have walked to the bank and might replace her mobile with a tin-can and string arrangement. #
  • returned home from the #brightbox office to find a box of books from amazon, hurrah. :) #
  • wonders if this crazy thing works now… #
  • fails to find a pattern/method to make umbrella-esque food covers. will have to buy one and reverse engineer it. #
  • is getting a lot of cat love now it’s raining and the felines have come in from sunbathing for the first non-mealtime time in a week. #
  • is glared at by a wet magpie – he wants to know where the outside dish of cat food is today. #
  • had the best frickin’ Friday lunch ever, from the Dutch Pot in Chapeltown. Jerk chicken, rice & peas, and a sweet, sweet festival. Yum! #
  • has been asked to point out that @johnleach brought home the jerk chicken and other Dutch Pot delights, and therefore deserves (my) worship. #
  • intended to stop working at 6pm. Actually stops working at 8:30pm. Long day. At least I get a full weekend to recover these days. #
  • is eating sausage for the third time in two days. #notaeuphemism #
