Per-lease! Manuelgate?! Are you kidding me? This is not sodding news, it has no place on *my* radio. Stop, stop stop! #
Sequestering UTI Kitty in the sitting room with a special litter tray and a bowl of water up until he produces a sample. #
@willhowells were you thronging the gate? #
@markpack and twittered about #hashtags too, for good measure. #

I’ve just discovered where the Goose Fair giant goose lives for the rest of the year. #
It’s been so long since I last went leafleting, I almost forgot to have cake. #
Irritated that mobile internet seems to work in coffee shop queue but not at table 2m away. #
Well, I’m enjoying xkcd even if others aren’t. #
Writing a #postcrossing card in German. And even I’m wincing at the mistakes I’m making. #

Watching outdoor temperature plummet (now 0.4 deg C) and feeling hugely grateful boiler man got here today! #
@alanfleming wrist straps? #
Temperature at the bottom of the garden has been as low as 0.2 but has now risen again to 0.5. No FREEZING KLAXON tonight 😦 #
-0.2 deg c! Awooga, Awooga! #
Eek, 13 messages waiting on my answerphone! #
Hehe – Lab council leader wants to be my friend on Facebook. He has 5 friends so far! #
Colder still tonight – is already -0.8 deg c #
ooh, ooh, -2.7 now. Checking out of window for snow on cars, but it turns out it’s just one of those Minis with a white roof. #

Cleaning the kitchen specially for the boiler repair men. #
There’s a grate outside the Guildhall that steams when it’s cold. Is this Nottingham or New York? #
Settling down to watch Charlie Brooker’s Dead Set and can’t quite believe Friends is still on TV. #
Kevin Eldon just gives the game away. Too recognisable a face. #
Hoping for Zombie Davina #

Putting back the clock on the oven… and the clock on the heating… and the cuckoo clock… all the rest are automatic, I think. #
“I worshipped him blindly / He worships another / Attend to me kindly / this lady’s… my MOTHER!” DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM This lady’s his what? #
Grr. Looks like the boiler’s on the blink again. 😦 #
Waiting for the immersion heater to do its job and wishing we had an immersion heater that could power the radiators #

Rudely awoken at 9am on the dot by oik with a ladder wanting to clean my gutters. Offer too good to refuse. #
Alan Shore vs the Supreme Court?! OMG! Amazing! #
Briefly hating Steven Spielberg, on @stephenfry ‘s say so #
Drinkin’ beer and enterin’ canvass data. #
Oh boy, if the supreme court weren’t enough, now we have Denny Crane for President?! #
@doctorvee football hooligans? Stopping the train to get Transport Police to evict non fare-payers? #

Going to v exciting briefing about traffic lights and SCOOT. #
Actually opening my copy of Lib Dem News for the first time in yonks in order to see @HelenDuffett on page 4 #
Thinking the squirrel drinking from the fountain on the upper lawn is cute, even if it is an evil grey #
RT @owenblacker @jankowski http://hugeju.gs/ #
Oh, look, another cup of half-drunk coffee abandoned somewhere unlikely. Oh, wait, this is my house… #

Going to bed two hours earlier than last night, but still not exactly what you’d call “early”. #
Just seen an African-looking woman balancing a huge Adidas sports bag on her head walking down Lenton Bvd. #
Wow, an incredible 2 mins face time with dentist. No probs at all. X-rays fine. Don’t even need hygienist appt! #
There’s some rather nice but short-dated ham for your tea if you want it. #
Intrigued by local dry-cleaners offering “full laundry service – including collection!” Wonder if they strip beds… #

Argh! I hate that nasty “snap” thing that makes hovering over things so perillous. #
Gobsmacked by suggested new designs for railway station carpark. #
Checking the atlas, I discover the village I’m visiting in Lincs to help a selection is just north of Boothby Grafoe #
Upending a cup of cold coffee all over myself. Could have been worse, I suppose #

Heading off down a very strange line of thought that involves picturing Lab cllrs as Star Wars villains. #
Been humming song from “Oh What a Lovely War!” – just realised I’m actually humming “What a friend we have in Jesus” #
Delighted to see the Atheist Bus Campaign has massively surpassed its fundraising targets. #
@owenblacker archive.org have… “reliability issues”. #
@willhowells not to be personal, but aren’t you too old for that? #
Handwriting a letter. Spelling my own name wrong. Why?! #
