Apropos of nothing: if we leave the EU, can we drop all those bloody cookie warnings from our websites?
Goodness. Facebook tells me I joined nine years ago today. Feels longer, somehow.
@jakepjohnson Doesn’t feel quite like that to me, but nine years only accounts for about a third of my time on the internet.
@lilydoughball I presume people that do that are either forgetful or have hired a crap algorithm to get new followers :(

@libbymiller Sounds like the odds are I won’t live to see tomorrow.
And the shop’s being refurbished, too. It’s like I always said: what every Post Office queue needs is a guy using a circular saw next to it.
@Phooto Next to a parcel of land with two unused counters on it.
@word_geek I believe the situation is significantly more confused and legally uncertain than that.

Have had my head glued back together. Great service in BRI A&E.
@guriben "IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO PICK AT THE GLUE". Something tells me this is going to be torture.
@shezza_t It wasn’t far off it, but would’ve been really hard to dress it myself. Was through A&E in half hour though, so glad I went.
@Mouse_House Thanks, Mouse. I’m good. If it’d been on my leg I’d have just stuck a big plaster on. Harder to do on back of head!

Awake. After yesterday’s chilled and slightly drunken travel-recovery day (ta, @missemmeline) it’s now unpack/laundry/work time. Coffee.
@BlackDogDays Always a pleasure to be spotted :)
@lizpscully How many geeks have you met who are happy with giving people the impression that that don’t know absolutely everything? ;)
@theshinythings Ta! Nice to be back. Especially as I don’t have to return to the day job until Wednesday :)
@BlackDogDays Not quite. Got in at 3:15am, so had to wait for them to open, at least :)
@BlackDogDays And we did go for breakfast in @Rosemarino1 on the way, too.
@missemmeline I'm sure I could be tempted. Should I bring this hairbrush, too? :)
Getting my lens repaired under Jessops' Photo+ Repair Plan thingy seems to be going fairly painlessly. Returns label on the way.
@missemmeline Is that a yes? :D
@tsunimee I imagine I could get paid a lot of money *not* to wear that in public.
@missemmeline Cool, I'll be around. Having a day of gently getting stuff done to the background noise of the holiday laundry :D
@missemmeline Also, if it helps plan, I will probably be driving to @40alfredplace, so can give you a lift anywhere from there if you want.
Went on hols with pair of Boots sunglasses. Came back with two utterly identical pairs. Ooops. http://t.co/wKjUOAjg

@tyronem My full review here: http://bit.ly/3hYoDs A good camera for the size, but you can get better if you don't want something that slim.
@tyronem it's nothing special, to be honest. Quite noisy in low light, and touch screen not great. I preferred the FP8, but I washed mine!
@tyronem Thanks! I shoot either iPhone, Lumix DMC-FP3 or Canon 400D. Those were both from the FP3.
