Eating criminal quantities of licquorice fudge, having gone a bit mad earlier at sweet stall at continental market in town. #
@snapesbabe if nothing interesting happened, no-one will pick up on the press release. You need to find an angle, even if a tangent #
@snapesbabe eg conf reps: “XX, XX and XX selected by X Lib Dems to decide future of tuition fees” #
@snapesbabe “AGM FADING FROM MEMORY: Lib Dems appeal for information from those present” #

Doing things I planned to do last night and somehow didn’t get around to: mulling cider and letting off a kong ming lantern. #

Accidentally telling LDV chatroom that @willhowells is pooping champagne corks #
Setting alarm for three hours, five minutes. Why did I agree to training sesh at 9am?! #
@qwghlm barely 3hrs sleep and feeling dreadful! #
listening to @iaindale chat to Eddie Mair #
Waiting for the firework display on the Forest. A bit foggy. #

BBC using West Wing theme tune for US election coverage. Fiction and reality blur. #
@iaindale whatcha talkin ’bout on Woman’s Hour? Who with? And Manchester or London? #
Cardinal rule of campaign photos – no dark backgrounds. Have spent 20 mins doctoring a piccy to make it work on a riso 😦 #
Man, today is completely derailed by mammoth oversleep. #
@thermalsatsuma ours too 😦 turning it off and on again often works #
@doctorvee You can’t remember when Blair came in, surely? #
@doctorvee ah, I remember it more as EVERYONE: Blair’s PM, isn’t that great?! ME: no. #
listening to Martha Kearney interviewing Tina C #
Hehehe – Tina C thinks that despite the sand and danger, it’s time to invade Al Quaeda itself. #

Reading up on the Aleutian Islands. Coming round to thinking prob worth visiting more British islands before schlepping out to Kanaga #
Eek, massive Google Chrome crash after writing hundreds of words on a blog post about CA’s Prop 8 #
Downloading a sample San Francisco ballot paper. There are 8 different elections and a massive 34 referendums all on one voting paper! #
Definitely shouldn’t have stayed up all night writing US election blogs for LDV – they don’t look all that good in cold light of day. #
Need to get body clock to accomodate staying up all night Tues, getting up at 9am Weds and staying up for Bonfire Night on. #
Bah. You’d have thought two cats, two catbeds would have worked just fine, but in fact they both prefer the same one, and fight over it. #
To the Printcave, Risoman! #
@jamesgraham stay well clear if it starts talking about radishes #

Looking into fridge for midnight snack and seeing celery, apples, grapes, walnuts… Manuelgate has got to me more than I thought! #
Loving Will Howell’s video round up of the US elections: http://tinyurl.com/5c78tw #
Joining a ginormous queue for Bond at 2250, since 2130 and 2215 were both sold out. #
Looks like most of the people in the queue are 15 years younger than me. #
Feeling really old. Has anyone else in here ever actually seen a Bond movie before? #

Chuffed at the knowledge I have brought at least 10 mug cakes into the world, and off to make another one for myself. #
Listening to snorts of laughter and derision from down the hallway as P discovers “spEak You’re bRanes” http://is.gd/FqM #

@hughmcguire – I just tweeted mine! http://is.gd/5mRR Cat of Stripes food diary has loads of nice vegan recipes. #
Eek, overdid the chilli a bit. #
Hearing myself say “mockons la semaine, chat-i-kins” #

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. #
