@dangusset I would love to know what that rapidly-deleted tweet was!
@dangusset J. F. C.
When you suddenly realise it’s gone Wednesday and you haven’t checked to make sure Tosh made it out of the caravan #shetland
@theantoniagold “I have often had the fancy that there is some one myth for every man, which, if we but knew it, would make us understand all he did and thought.”

@garethlpowell Someone may invent a machine for doing it by then, that’s my theory. (This is also why programmers are terrible procrastinators: we always think *we* can be the person who invents it, too.)

Mostly done now. Before and after. https://t.co/trLlT2vY8R
@saltwateritch Thanks! I think I mostly took these photos to convince myself that six weeks of agonising over colours, painting, designing, reading, watching House Doctor-type programmes, shopping and hefting furniture about was worth it 😀
@saltwateritch I find stuff like that surprisingly motivational, even if I don’t necessarily agree with the advice, oddly.
@Kavey Thanks Kaveypie :D It was definitely worth it, but I'd glad it's (mostly) over right now!
@MakingBlakes7 I think you’ll find that that alleged book was never actually written. It was just a rumour. Nobody read it. I definitely didn’t. No.

@hayles 315 days in and I finally realised what I should have done right back at the beginning!

@thomasvenables Oh, it *was* you! I reckon another 8 milliseconds of British eye contact and we'd actually have said hello ;)
Gran Coupe. Swanky. https://t.co/dIW3iNItsn
It's not bad, but can we make it a bit harder for the customer to figure out which button to push? #ui https://t.co/OqaoxlcJJT
@Picklechu Funnily enough, it just asked me to ask you if you'd like a receipt for that tweet.
Brief BTP visit. https://t.co/RornOXh8eC
@jakepjohnson It's driven me mad enough times that the urge to complain won through!
The *one* morning in a fortnight I've not been at home... https://t.co/9VGj8en0Bo
@Bristolvor It really is beautifully designed. Shame I couldn't possibly justify it!
@Bristolvor (My car is in for a specific bit of sprucing up to assuage my desire for a whole new car.)
Also, are we *sure* mobile phone top-up is the option fewest people will want? Maybe PIN change should be first. https://t.co/ddHycsainV
@porthjess I always assumed it was some stitch-up by the Orange shop that used to be on The Mall.
@meemalee Yeah, I watched that one last week. There's not much new in the world.
@JonCraig_Photos My friend Paul put a GoPro up on his kite last week... https://t.co/eMdRIW9KCP

@Bristol52 @charlie_cat_esq I’m sure the pun sailed right past most people.
Not tried a non-square crop in Instagram before... #igersbristol https://t.co/eQAWT34AKa
@Hello_Im_Nik @bathsaints Thanks!
@bexxi I think I’ll mostly stay square ;)
Made it to Coffee #1 before those clouds arrived with their rain. Time to write, I think.

Sunshine again! Time for a swift walk home, I think.

@Chris_Perkins1 @mashable @film_girl Is it just me, or do you know people who get carsick if they can’t see where they’re going?
Anyone else looking at the new Google logo and thinking “fridge magnets”?
Oooh. The Andromeda Strain is on @netflixuk… Fabulous SF classic from 1971…
@bathsaints Likewise. The film is very true to the book, too.
@ahnlak My guess would be that they managed to fuck it up in house, without needing to outsource their money-wasting.

@BabsBat Good choice. (Though have you seen Dollhouse? Even better, I thought…)
@BabsBat Something tells me you'll enjoy it.

@hannahnicklin I did, comma notwithstanding, enjoy the image of a mouse fleeing with a tiny wicker basket.
In that annoying "running in" period where brand new guitar strings are just too damn jangly.
@SimonNRicketts @AlasdairStuart K9 won the lottery!
@uliwitness Same principle as a sewing machine: witchcraft.

@rabidbee There are a lot of sites about building decent-sized model ones on the internets, and I wish I had the time...
In Shiraz Persian restaurant. It's lush.
RT @JeremyJHardy: Can everyone stop saying "the majority of" when they mean "most", and "on a daily basis" when they mean "daily"?
Web wranglers: Have I recommended http://placehold.it for image placeholders? Lovely little service.
@chrisphin It may depend on the total number of floors. Seems more acceptable to break your posited rule in this three-storey building!
@talkie_tim Probably not, parents in town for my cousin's wedding, so my evening's not likely to be free.
@matthew_roach It's a trifle disconcerting. Should have happened on a dark and stormy night, though.
Aha. False-ish alarm. #Kindle had merely crashed quite hard, I think. Forced a reset and it seems to be working again.
Hmm. My new #Kindle appears to have died. That didn't last long.
Grabbing a copy of @TheaGilmore's _Murphy's Heart_.

Why is there always a book on the Bermuda Triangle in holiday homes? It's like they fall through a gap in space-time and land in guesthouses
