@CharlieEsq_ WW?
@CharlieEsq_ Had some fine bao downstairs yesterday. Been told good and bad things about 🐷 place.
Drinking in the rain because it was a better option than next to the three smokers.
@CharlieEsq_ May have just been teething problems. First week's never easy, is it?
@CharlieEsq_ So, *do* they have one of those boxing gloves on a concertina? PS *waves from ferry*
@hayles @CharlieEsq_ Clearly I *need* to decide for myself.

@hayles @Uber_LDN did you see the cupcake place on Cotham Hill is now split in two, with the other half being a doggy grooming parlour?
@hayles Dunno. The one that was a sandwich place before and never ever actually works out as a business of any sort. That one.

Sure you used to be able to order nice paper cycling maps of Bristol from the council website. Can't find them any more...
@claireellent At the very least you could have unfolded it and sheltered under it :D
@Thehappyfatgirl Permission to re-tweet, miss?

@Thehappyfatgirl Huzzah! I particularly like my smile.
@Thehappyfatgirl Of course I would. The detail! The fine penstrokes!

@hayles think that was pulled. See my RT from @MrGreenGus for the Sustrans link; seems to be the place to get them now.
@mattgemmell Yeah. That was a major downside of "upgrading" from my old iPod Nano/Shuffle; I find media devices better with control buttons.

@stillawake Don't happen to be near the RWA, do you? Was thinking of popping into the Autumn Exhibition private view.
@stillawake Sounds fabby. Meet you outside then, then.
Chillin' in Caffe Nero.
@MandinaM Anything? *raises eyebrow*. Clearly I'm squandering this opportunity with my decaf Americano.
@stillawake No problem. Safely ensconced in Nero reading Sherlock Holmes stories :)
@andybeebristol Were you in the Park Street one?
@stillawake Do it! The first time I went to the RWA was on an _Artist's Way_ "artist's date". Probably just before I did NaNo...
Nice afternoon wandering around the RWA's autumn exhibition with @stillawake. Hurty feet now! Bad shoe choice today.
@stillawake Aha! That blue thing *was* Willo The Wisp :) http://t.co/iOvJMBH3

@R2UK Damn! Had you done any research? My aerial's fine but I need a new receiver!
@thomasvenablesy My aim with that last one was to stop anyone spending £30 on the official case if they didn't need to, honest :)
@jorence Don't you believe it. Bet you're _all_ on bloody Twitter :)
@thomasvenables I suspect that if the case wasn't that much, the Kindle wouldn't be that cheap... #deviousmarketing
RT @RellyAB: Helvetica cookie cutters. Really. Can someone do an ironic hipster clear up on aisle 5?
@jacrats You think *that* was bad, you should've seen the TV series.
Jesus. Why do I have an urge to buy Pop Tarts? I know they're awful. Maybe I'm pregnant.
@hayles Luckily Waitrose is too posh to stock them.
@shezza_t That I can barely remember what they're like from University. And that that is not a bad thing.
@caitlinmoran OOI, what look should a bloke have on face when buying copy of "How To Be A Woman?" Proud? Furtive? "It's for a friend"?
@hayles Yes, but as I think @shezza_t is implying, "good" in the way that Pot Noodles are good. Or Dairylea and crisp sandwiches.
Due to being in Waitrose, have had to buy dried wild mushrooms and Chardonnay instead of Pop Tarts. Damn.
Ah, the Hotwells hills during Friday "rush" hour. How I love the smell of burning clutches in the evening. #Bristol
@missionverdana @Dichohecho I called up my ISP, they tested my line and called engineers, and it was back up by the morning. Ho hum.

@hayles *jealous* Don't have time for TV right now. Probably don't have required channel for Scrubs, either. *sigh*
Trying redbush tea for the first time. Interesting.
@Squonk hrm. Not easily. Full, slightly tobacco-ey smokiness. Interesing.
Cool. Moo support have been great. New batch of minicards now printing. Have been double-checked by Moo to make sure they're good.
Always good to see a company that recovers gracefully from cock-ups. Anyone can look good when things go right. Well done, Moo!
Mmm. Perhaps philistinic, but red bush tea with milk and sugar is even nicer ;)
_True Blood_ really does have marvellous characterisation. Liking it lots.
@hayles There should be a phrase for internet gossip-flirts.
@KaveyF Heh. I immediately warmed to lead lady. Can't think why.
@hayles C'est possible, ma cherie.
@bananza This does appear to be true. Reliably having a good run is the next thing I need to work on :)
@sjcurrie Did you mean to DM me just them?
@sjcurrie "Just then", I meant. Only it looks like a link to a dodgy website in Beijing. Haven't been hacked, have you?
@hayles Okay, may have to set up recorder.
@GirltaristHan I just got one, too. I didn't click on mine; doesn't look safe to me...
@Squonk Cool. Bought my own supply on the way home :) #RedBushTea
@talkie_tim Well, he's a vampire, dear. There's likely to be a bit of an age-gap :D

Oooh, bed. That's what I need.
Gah. Just finished homework. That too way too long. Probably won't be making Flickr meet tomorrow night, too much to do!
Damn. Did you ever start what should be a simple homework exercise and end up two hours later thinking you're doing the wrong course?
@talkie_tim Quite right; I'd probably just get distracted and end up learning Ruby by accident.
@ryancarson At some point I might use my gmail address for mail, as well as all the other stuff :)
Home. Now time for exercise, Greek homework, and some web design practice. Maybe I should write a Greek web app to track exercise progress.
Vodafone's website really is appallingly dreadfu.
