- @tim_waters just seen your profile pic. Have you succumbed to the delights of your mortal enemies? They look like lovely specimens :) #
- Made tagliatelle (using eggs from our hens) and black pepper crackers with @johnleach this evening. Fun! :) #
- Just got my email inbox to under 50 for the first time all year. At this rate, I might be able to achieve inbox zero by 2012. #
- Wondered why the thermometer had suddenly gone up by 4C. Instant global warming? The sun going supernova? No, it's next to my cup of tea. #
- The woman next to me on the bus is wearing the same 2 year old coat as me. I don't think she's noticed. I feel i should say something. #
- She's texting too now – i wonder if she's sending the same twitter updates… I'm pretty sure i'm not looking into a mirror. #
- @JamesASinclair the guardian say it's ok as long as it's a below the knee skirt, and worn with a "neat top [and] good bra". So go for it. ;) in reply to JamesASinclair #
- I do hope that the kids at drama enjoy our sessions together as much as I do :D #
- Feeling happy with work for the first time in ages (years?) (ever?). #
- Yesterday @johnleach and I had a "best fake tongue made from salami" competition in our lunchbreak. I won shape, he won mobility. #
- I think the only tweets I retweet without fail are local lost pet ones. #
- While @johnleach is at #leedshack I've been having my own Greengates hack. Less sexy @brightbox APIs, more wood, pallets and chickens. #

1. Rainbows fill the room. The dog has one on her chest as she waves her paws in the air. There is another on my legs. They dance across the ceiling.
2. The dew glistens on the cobwebs laced between the neighbours’ railings.
3. The woods have never been lighter or brighter. The trees are naked, the floor mottled in yellows and brown. We wander hither thither, along paths that don’t exist in the summer, then we sit on the bench above it all and talk.
- Show@Bingley went well this weekend, but glad it's over and I get my evenings back :) #
- So very sleepy. Urge to do fun things is being replaced by the urge to sit. #
- I've been needing to pee for about 2 hours. #
- A visit to the hairdressers then into Bradford city centre have made me feel sad for the world & its future. But at least I bought yarn. #
- Today's only make project going well but slowly – about three-quarters of my way through my first slipper. Cute and warm though :D #
- Really must stop looking at the internet and go out and do something less boring instead. #
- Has done the first layer of papier mache on my soon-to-be chicken moneybox's body, comb and beak. #
- Dog was so intently sniffing for rabbits that she missed one run across our path about 4m in front of us. #
- Had to buy some Coffeemate at the supermarket today. I feel dirty. #
- Walked on Ilkley Moor & picked up chicken supplies. Now tea, papers & cartoons, later curry. I heart Saturdays. #
- @SlowFoodWYorks me (@louisa_) and @johnleach – see you soon! :) in reply to SlowFoodWYorks #
- Back from @SlowFoodWYorks mushroom hunt! Fantastic fun and eating them at the end was ace! Thanks to Gerry & Jesper for running it :) #
- (We nearly didn't make it to the mushroom hunt though – on leaving the house, found someone had nicked a wheel from the car…) #
- Boron has been sat between me and my laptop for about 20 minutes now, letting me kiss him while I type. http://twitpic.com/2yp9vq #
- .@johnleach keeps picking weird music that's making me edgy and anxious. Feel like I'm in a David Lynch film. #
- Oh, now he's got the Polyphonic Spree on. Feel like I'm on Playschool. ;) #
- OH: "you're such a tasty hunk of pastry" #
- Stood in a room where a dozen completely sober adults are singing bryan adams. #
- Has pretty much failed with fire this morning. Cat unimpressed. Should have just put the heating on instead. #
- I HAVE CONQUERED FLAME. Cat duly impressed. #
- I emptied the stove ashpan this morning and now my hands smell like a nightclub from 1998. #
- Lovely relaxing day yesterday inc a walk in Heaton & a late lunch at Coopers in Guiseley (another day, another Market Town Tavern). #
- Just had the chickens loose in the garden for the first time – fun! Can't wait until it's all properly fenced in so they can pootle more! #

Apparently I only use my webcam for pictures of me with the cats.

Then today – me and B:
- The best thing about the weather getting colder – increased animal love. #
- (I mean actual animals – the cats and dog – I'm not being euphemistic about the leach) #
- In case anyone is following this and the RSS feed for my old site, ThingsToDoToday – the domain lapsed and isn't mine any more. Regretful. #
- Had a lovely long walk and tea & tiffin at Golden Acre Park with Katherine, Joe & Lily dog. #
- Manic 5 hours – the head drama tutor was away so we had to lead the two classes ourselves. Could have been better but no one died. So win. #
- Had a dream that Gael Garcia Bernal was rescuing about-to-be-abused kittens. CUTEST. DREAM. EVER. #
- Goat curry with Team @Brightbox then took the hound for a long walk around Roundhay Park. Lots o' fun. #
- I've done a crapload of work today. Time to celebrate productivity (and kinda the end of a project too) with a large quantity of junk food. #
- Just used Yahoo for a search. First time in a decade. How are they still in business? #
- Interesting article about microloans in this month's Red Pepper. Just because it feels good doesn't mean it's doing good. http://is.gd/g4oQM #
- Hung curtains in the office, walked & foraged at Thackley, de-pooped the chicken coop, tidied garden, found potatoes, now food & collapse. #
- .@johnleach is giving me a double thumbs up to try to convince me that "garlicky choc digestive" is the new taste sensation. Do not believe. #
