The perils of using home assistants to put things on one's shopping list. What is a filigator, I wonder, and why would I need more than one of them? I suppose I wanted to filigate something quite thoroughly. https://t.co/3c6vtO3IqB
@clivemitchell1 My chemistry teacher's class party piece was pointing the geiger counter at the watch he'd been wearing for years, to scare everyone with the whooshing sound it made.

That thing where you drag out a laptop you've not used for a month and spend two days cycling through Windows Updates, reboots and sighing.
@JFryatt92 Nope, sorry!
@emmachampion6 I really should buy my own cat, just so that doesn't happen.

@charlie_cat_esq I can.
Pig urea? Why not horse urea? Surely they’re a better height for peeing in the tank.

Um. Why is the Mac App Store now offering me an iPhoto update that I installed back in March?
Also, I mailed iTunes support about being “refund blacklisted” for App Store purchases. They utterly failed to even understand the question.
@neek247 I’m getting it *before* El Capitan. Also: for an iPhoto update dated March 2015, which I must surely already have installed.

@tangleofwires Cool. Warning: it can seem odd at first, and you may get worse before you get better. But I found it worthwhile long-term.
So nice to see the Bristol Evening Post putting animated banner ads in the middle of the story about the vicious assualt in Bedminster.
@Swishrelic Search lights?
Playin' gee-tar.
While I very much like @alfredapp, I think it's never going to learn that when I say "mail", I'd like Mail.app, not MorningPagesSilent.app.
Heh. The @RunKeeper fitness class I just signed up to has me planned for a 20km run on Boxing Day. This seems unlikely :) #fullofmincepies
@nickcloke Thanks! Yes, Twitter seems to be a good haunt for insomniacs :)
@bertpalmer Maybe you should try to combine the two. Practice in front of a mirror: "Are you looking at I?" #taxidriver #bristolian
@penelopeelse Wow. All it needs is a train entering a tunnel.
@hayles Gah, has is? I already started using Simplenote to edit and then pasting into Wordpress app just to post because it was so crashy.
Right. Off t'work in t'rain.
Oooh, interesting idea for managing expectations: @photomatt has added email load stats to his "contact" page -- http://wp.me/p4oB3-9iR
@hayles I've been having nothing but password problems this week. I'm not even going to try Wordpress, then...
@hayles I lied. I couldn't resist. And yes, all three blogs broken with user/password errors. #wordpress #iPhone #slightlycrap
@hayles :(
I love shopping in Kin Yip Hon. So many things where I have no idea what they are. Plus oddly purple vegetables. http://yfrog.com/5z8qgqj

@paulahillier It's the Chinese supermarket next to Dynasty. Salted plum, dear? *offers bag*
Today's weather callously murders umbrellas, turns paving stones into stealth squirt traps and makes average drivers into complete morons.
@talkie_tim @avflox It makes you wonder why you would unzip before... Actually, I should probably stop now. #jokusinterruptus
Having username/password errors after updating to latest #wordpress iPhone app? Deleting & re-adding blog details worked for me (@hayles)
I read that last tweet twice before I sent it and still missed the crucial fact it was about WordPress. Is it the weekend yet? Need sleep.
@theRamenNoodle This is why I prefer re-tweets. Show, not tell. ;)
@hayles Indeed. Annoying. Still, the thing's free. And Marsedit for iPhone sadly doesn't seem to have arrived yet :(
@hayles Someone mentioned it earlier, but I can't remember who. Sounds truly horrific.
@archidave How is the boss, by the way?
@hayles Hmm. Have seen that around a lot in older electronics books. Guess it's just got shorter over time. Was it an older person?

RT @hotdogsladies: Google Wave seems like an ideal tool for collaborating on any project you'll talk about a lot but never actually do.
@ianmcshane Just over 36 minutes. This route and time: http://bit.ly/1Prt9f included ten minutes of warm-up/cool down.
#getrunning Whoo-hoo! Have now officially gone from couch to 5K! #C25K
@ianmcshane Slow! Will work it out and tell you in a bit -- tonight's the first time I've actually run 5K
About to #getrunning on the last run of the #C25K!
Why do some bus drivers think the accelerator is a purely binary device?

Waiting at t'pub for t'old team.
Waiting on annoying bus that stops for ten minutes halfway there. On plus side, on way to team pub breakfast.
@benjohnbarnes #getrunning Well done! And you clearly run a lot faster than me -- that was nearly 6K!

You know that woken-up-not-sleepy feeling you get after a nap? I've got it. Only without the nap, and it's quarter to one in the morning.
@Nose_in_a_book Definitely not. I am also pleased, and not just because there seems to be less rain in autumn than summer these days...
gorgeous huge skies tonight. Not taking photos, just looking :-)
@talkie_tim only if you're prepared to buy one when you get back!
Looks like a fantastic day again! Think I'll take out the 300mm lens I'm borrowing; there may be enough light for it today...
