• http://twitpic.com/55dv5 – @johanneslebech in an impromptu meeting with Nottm’s Lord Mayor Jeannie Packer #
• Phew, after chaperoning international guests, into ctte for swine flu briefing. #
• Going by info from @normanlamb, more Nottm cllrs got briefed on swine flu than MPs. #
• @hughmcguire package arrived today – and unexpected inclusion made me laugh 🙂 #
• @tompearson that photo doesn’t do them justice, I should have warned them I was snap happy! #
• Because I do weird things on a daily basis and I want to let people know about it 🙂 #whyITweet #
• Grrr. Have frittered away my disco nap opportunity time on’t’internet. Will have to make do with coffee. #
• Turning my collar to the cold and damp. #
• Good turnout for Lib Drinks but have sadly had to send lords and MEPs on their various ways. #
• Urgh. Too much hair gel on this bus window. #

• Watching Newsnight in anticipation of @edfordham ‘s big moment. #
• Taxpayer telethon ftw! #

• @helenduffett Helvetica? Not moleskine? If it’s gonna be a font, I’m voting Caslon Old Face. #
• Pondering the possibility of using typeface names as cursewords. Oh, helvetica neue condensed, late again! #
• Suggesting #digitalbritain as a possible subject for Council scrutiny. #
• Lib Dems publish manifesto. Unreadable to tritanopes or people who like good graphic design http://tr.im/lb6l #fontwonkery #
• Well, whaddya know. The awful font they’re using for headers in the manifesto is… have you guessed it? Helvetica. #
• RT @ianvisits I am struggling tonight – would MPs who abused their expense claims be cast into the 4th or 8th circle of Dante’s Inferno? #
• Apparently newsreaders earn about as much as, erm, Lib Dem chief executives… http://tr.im/lbbz #
• @owenblacker Twitter demands a daily kitten photodiary! #
• As Lib Dem expense rows come out, remember “your vote is for the next five years, not the last five days” http://tr.im/lbuY #
• Are you kidding me? Private Eye implodes as boring MP actually claims money for trouserpress? http://www.libdemvoice.org/?p=14420 #
• @rfenwick it’s helvetica in the PDF I downloaded. Arial has slanty t tops. Both are too boring for principle headers. #
• @rfenwick and doesn’t another party use light blue and wavy curves? #
• @rfenwick PS I love the dotty map. Well done for remembering Gibraltar and the Orkneys and Shetland. #
• @rfenwick we paid an agency for that? a *design* agency?! have they worked before? did we see their back catalogue? #

• @stuartsharpe @himmelgarten I was more highlighting the spelling of hositing. #
• Wondering if the lack of a Chief Exec at Full Council means we’ve sacked another one. #
• Ah no, it seems the CX was just late. #
• Really pleased Cllr Leon Unczur is going to be Sheriff of Nottingham this year. #
• Enjoying a subtle barbed speech intro: “Council Leader, ladies and gentlemen…” #
• @stephenbarker surely tweeting in meetings is only passing notes if someone else is reading them? #
• @stephenbarker otherwise tweeting meetings is valuable way of engaging public in work of Council. #
• @stephenbarker you should be listening to the leader when he’s criticising expenditure in your dept #
• Giving an alarmingly on message quote to Evening Post. #
• Good lord, Iain Dale wears £75 ties! http://bit.ly/1ScrD #
• RT @ilovetypography: Thank you ILT readers. Win a red Helvetica Moleskine. Just retweet. Announce winner Thursday. #

• Wahey, I made the LDV Golden Dozen for the second time in my blogging life. Go me. http://tr.im/kZjT #
• “It’s BRAHMS! BRAHMS THIRD RACKET!” Apparently there’s some Fawlty Towers I haven’t seen #
• Glad @willhowells avoided spoilers. The suggestion that there some means presumably we should get on with seeing Star Trek? #

• Not sure I’d want to be “hosited on my own petard.” #
• @miss_s_b am I old enough to read your beards post? #
• Standard leaflet prob: “Vote Lib Dem on June 4” comes out as “Vote Lib Demon”. #

• Selling our old tat at car boot sale at Robert Shaw Primary. #
• Made our first sale! Bouncing tigger and colander for £1.20. #
• Sandwiched between a brightly coloured stall selling girls’ clothes and a huge van with hardware. Our stuff looks out of place. #
• @documentally oh, bugger I must have been thinking of the unconference? #
• Hmmm. When you take into account our entry fee and bacon cobs, so far we’ve made -£5.80 so far. Still loads of tat left! #
• @mithomas20 no worries! #
• Taking spare bric-a-brac to Cats Protection – and nosing around the pens to see who needs a home. #

• 12seconds – Haircut 2009! “after” video http://tiny12.tv/0673J #

• @thoroughlygood Wine? In your dressing-gown? Darling, how decadent. #
• Waiting for @helenduffett’s DNS to propagate. #
• @timprater I’m afraid they’re one of those unresponsive 9-5 ISPs 🙂 #

• Grief. Tory Notts tabloid has nicked phrase “record of action, promise of more” #
• Struggling away from the Print Cave with a carful of leaflets and wondering how they’ll ever get delivered. #
• Oh dear me, how tiresome. I appear to have lost the only copy of the handwritten minutes I was supposed to have typed up. #
• Why isn’t it in my bag? How could it be anywhere else? I am tearing out my hair and turning the place upside down! #
• @USelaine Jacket?! 🙂 #

• So, Helen A. Duffett says I could be charging £500 for the sort of thing I normally do for friends for free. #
• @willhowells I suspect when they come for Nottingham, it won’t be the cost that annoys people, but having to travel to Derby to register #
