Tiring weekend: two bouts of ringing, hundreds of leaflets delivered, 2hr meander around Univ Park. #
Think I just got engaged. Yay us! #
@jonball Yup, checked, definitely engaged 🙂 #
@austinrathe Mutual agreement, but discovered we were both planning to talk about it whilst on hol in France next month. #
Looking at horrifying photos on Flickr but completely freaked by this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/losangelesweddingphotography/3139018776/ #
Hmm, looks like @AndyRoberts can seriously play guitar http://tiny12.tv/55FWJ #

Someone has cut down the massive old tree at the foot of the garden. 😦 #
12seconds – Lib Dem Printcave – revealed! http://tiny12.tv/JE336 #
Good lord. I’ve been on Flickr for four years! #
Not buying tickets for Paris despite lots and lots of temptation. #
@having melon, grapes, and spag bol with tomato, mushrooms, celery, onion, carrots #5aday #
Odd 4 mins of radio play on #bbcr4 today in which a deep gravelly voiced man was kvetching about his high heels and the gun in his handbag. #
@jamesgraham Is it wrong that I thought you were talking about Grant Shapps’ big blue penis? #
Worried about the strange man in @helenduffett’s hotel room. (Is this is how rumours start?) #
@kayray I clicked on the link partly because I was thus far unaware whether I was a raveler or not. No penguins for me 😦 #
@scottm Ripley as in Highsmith? Goodness. Only heard tiny fragments between leafletting. #
@scottm gravelly voiced man sounded way to old to be Ripley, IMHO, not ever having read the books. #
@rfenwick Princess of Bermondsey? That’s no way to refer to Simon Hughes. #

Oh, dear, looks like northbound #M1 has slowed to a standstill whilst we were in Newport Painfull services. #
Refuelling car and popping through carwash before ferrying Eurocandidate around tomorrow. #
Oh dear. When we got home, we found that we’d left 24hours worth of cat food up on the counter where they couldn’t get it. Starving cats! #
12seconds – New Orleans style band at funeral http://tiny12.tv/EKKXX #
OMG! Google Street View have been down our street (and creepily, me and P discovered this simultaneously on different computers…) #
12seconds – Quitter! http://tiny12.tv/BSCKU #

Thanks to online billing and meter reading, I am now in possession of the worrying factoid that we’ve spend £250 on gas since Christmas. #
Quick walk in the garden looking for green shoots of recovery on the vines we planted last year. #
Oh, good. It’s 80s nite on Welcome Break FM. #
Whoever labelled this belgian bun “large” has clearly never been to Greggs. #
@having my #5aday at breakfast: watermelon, pineapple, apple juice, tomato, beans, mushrooms #
Not liking the way the funeral comput make up look like Laurel and Hardy. #

The Metro newspaper is ten years old today?! No way! #
You can never tell how long the planning committee will last. I thought we’d be done by now. #
Ooh. A member has just moved “that the question not be put.” Never had that here before. #
Hmmm. Chamcery Lane fire. Strange haze over Nottingham. Coincidence? I think not. #
Not really enjoying hearing a sparrow necropsy on #bbcr4 whilst I’m cooking dinner. #
@having tomato, onion, chick peas, apple, clementine #5aday #
@charltonbrooker does that mean manic cleaning shortly before filming? #

@snapesbabe So am I. Wish I wasn’t. #
In the absence of a real meat mallet, tenderising turkey breasts with a wine bottle. #
@having pineapple, spinach, carrots, apple, clementines #5aday #

@meryl_f if Square Cam were working, it would be showing lovely sunny day. #
@owenblacker well, durr. How else are they going to find another one? #
6.30, still light, birds tweeting. Spring! Woo! #
Heading to group meeting for briefings from 2 of the Council’s most senior managers. Hoping there will be biscuits. #
@willhowells specialist subject? Presumably they can’t prepare the questions for that overnight? #
@artesea thanks 🙂 but I was still in meetings this week 😦 #

@documentally Not in the party? Whaaaaat? @helenduffett not have her membership pad with her? #
OK, I understand why my nose is running, but why does my jaw ache? #
Buying a spirit-level. Wooooooh! #
hmmm, is.gd short links haven’t been working for me for a few days. Wonder why not? #
…and then in a twinkling of an eye immediately after complaining about it, is.gd suddenly started working fine. I know I’m being watched. #

@moleend I’m no expert but those coops don’t look to have much protection from foxes that can dig. #
@moleend the Eglu run has chicken wire that bends outwards from the run enclosure. More chicken wire on ground would also work? #
@benpopps http://twitpic.com/1am30 – How did the chickens cope with the snow? #
@moleend looong debate on Eglu vs coop options:http://tr.im/hmYw #
