Lily-dog does not like having her photo taken. In the year and a bit she’s been living with us, we’ve taken maybe half a dozen pictures of her that aren’t paparazzo shots of her bum in retreat.

- @Scampering: thanks :) it's so hard to take photos of black cats – they're like mini black holes for absorbing light! i heart them though :) #
- Any ideas how to find a website-not-displaying bug when I can see it fine & browser test shots are fine too? Several reports of problems :( #
- @katethejuggler: good job we ordered from the fixed price menu last night ;) #
- Meh. #
- anyone in #bd10 interested in getting a @swillingtonfarm monthly meat box? they'll deliver to us honorary leodensians ;) http://is.gd/gkT6XE #
- @Scampering: oh no! dkes #
- @Scampering: oops, accidentally hit return there! i meant to type "does the cuteness make up for the loss?" #
Just found this photo of Carla on the camera card. I think it was taken last month when the world was sunny and lime green. She’s on the fence between our house and next door. She is a very beautiful old lady, isn’t she?
- "Enjoying" a succession of really powerful sneezes. I'm worried I'll burst something or exhale a lung. #
- Just could have made about 20 knob gags but didn't. I'm clearly growing in humour sophistication. #
- @wayneomac1977 hey! apologies for the pictures ;) life here is pretty ace. how's things with you? anyone else from ye olden days on twitter? #
- Walked for a mile in the woods on all sorts of wonky rocks & crazy inclines, then pulled a muscle in my calf taking my shoe off at home. #
- Possibly just sold a house. #
- @urbanwide: oh no, just an offer we've accepted. lots more fun and games to come…! are you guys still looking for your next place? #
- @Thehodge @101ofawolf thanks :) #
- Think the dog can develop cherry eye on demand in order to get out of having a bath. Tsk. #
- The taxi driver hot boxed me. #
- Been in York doing a Shakespeare/LAMDA course. I can think of better ways to use a Saturday but got some ideas out of it & had yum risotto. #
- @swillingtonfarm: We'd certainly be interested. Will it be strictly Leeds though? We're *just* over the Bradford border. #
- ? @LauraBlackwell: "quip quip" said twitter. "quip quip quip quip quip". #
- Went to Liverpool to have lunch with my dad & birthday girl mum yesterday. The city, esp the near the river, looked gorgeous in the sunshine #
- I bought cooked heart for the cats from the same stall in St Johns I used to use 12 yrs ago. The city's changed a lot, but not everywhere :) #
- @swirlyarts: actually that's the opposite of why i'm #yestoav Am sick of having to vote to stop the bad people getting their way ;) #
- @swirlyarts: (I mean I usually vote for the bad option so the worse one doesn't get in, rather than voting for my actual preferred choice) #
- @swirlyarts: but i agree, that usually is a good reason to do something :) #
- @LouiseEbrey: i would say don't use petrol but i guess you'd struggle to find public transport that isn't own by big business too… #
- Worried my Carla cat may have gone or be going deaf. If she hasn't/isn't, I'll be annoying her with a lot of loud sounds behind her head. #
- Bit anxious about not having voted yet… #
- @katethejuggler: i know i have until 10 but i think it's just a "there is something i have to do!" pang in my insane brain ;) #
- @katethejuggler: it's raining now – hurrah! i can hear the garden slurping it up. glad you made it home in time :) #
- @katethejuggler: yep, and filled the resulting space in my brain with fish'n'chips :) #
- @katethejuggler: nice, although i would have probably tried to work it as "phoney mania" just to increase the punnage ;) #
- @IdleSi: yep, i'm happy to see that too – especially as afaik there wasn't any campaigning done here for them. #
- @IdleSi: the greens in bradford were focusing on heaton; no resources to campaign here but ran to qualify for tv slot. Maybe next time… #
- .@johnleach bought himself a bouncy ball in bradford. the dog does not like that john has a bouncy ball which he is not sharing with her. #
- @strowger78: current verdict is she was a big fluffy faker, who just ignores me. she certainly does react to some sounds (ie food sounds). #
- @johnleach: as you're cooking dinner tonight, i'm glad it made you feel queasy & not peckish, esp as i haven't seen our neighbours recently. #
- Had bathroom floor fitted, went to Shipley Glen for walk, ate ice cream, came home, potted on many things, made sourdough bread. Good day :) #
- @katethejuggler: mmm simmered organs. (we haven't had a bath since we had our shower installed, is currently just a DIY storage hole) #
- Being reminded about childhood holidays today: @eatlikeagirl blogged about Bedruthan Steps (hols 1981-88) & @IdleSi's at Aira Force ('88-90) #
- Would love to visit both again at some point – think we're more likely to get to the Lakes than Cornwall though ;) #
- @tim_waters: i have been meaning to go to that for a year? two years? i'm so crap. glad to hear you had fun though :) #
- Dreamt I was going to buy a lame gift for a person who I don't know that well, but then changed my mind. Thanks for that excitement, brain. #
- @LauraBlackwell: @factory4wrkshop do courses in upholstery and furniture restoration #
- Homemade sourdough for lunch, then lovely dog walk through the woods in the sun and home to my new @comicnrrd comic – yay, good day! #
- Heard people at the bottom of the garden, scared it was scallies up to no good. Turned out to be neighbour bringing us gifts of fudge & jam! #
- @davidsmalley: has @lordsmalley got an invite too? #
- @Scampering: *jealous*. i'm going to try making our own next time pork is on offer – don't trust myself to not mess it up the first time ;) #
- @Scampering: haha, sounds like a fair trade to me. wonder what you have to leave out to get the other sock :) #
- Had fun at @strowger78 and @creosotethewife's bbq, even though Lily was a mardy one. Ate a wham bar on the way home. Good day. :) #
- @katethejuggler: very high weirdness potential. have fun! and obviously report back what has changed ;) #
