12:43 On the A6108, heading for Durham. Golf trip with my Dad and uncles. Avuncular overload! #

13:03 @facey I suspect it won’t last, unfortunately. They’ll make millions from a re-union next year. The govt should legislate against it. #

23:20 In a twin room with me Dad. We’re safely tucked up watching The Office. He had TWO halves of bitter! Uncles had G&Ts. One day I will die. #

23:28 twitpic.com/fwhh4 – Room is enormous with decor by Laura Ashley. I’m going to have whisky and watch West Wing. Reminder: Everyone die #

23:36 Oops, sorry about that last tweet instructing you to die, just forgot the length of a twitpic URL… It should have read: Everyone diet. #

00:48 RT @roughtradeshops Apparently Oasis have split up. Lets hope they really have this time.and lets hope they both retire. From life. For ever #

11:09 @mcdent Oooh, has it got a slip case? #

11:38 Off to #Morecambe for Homebase (sale on today, homely types – 15% off all whiteboards!) and then on to swimming with the boys. #

13:19 Homebase isn’t as exciting as I’d been led to believe. Will try JJB for kicks. #

17:12 twitpic.com/fpnjg – Leaving the eldest valeting the car, I’m off to play golf. #

23:03 Stung on the ankle by a wasp this evening on the golf course. I feel,,, ashamed, dirty, like it was my fault. #

13:03 Planning to go kite flying w/the kids later. Good local venue? Requirements: good reach, few trees, low dog incidence, no sea. #

21:17 RT @NeilOughton: thisiswhyyourefat.com/ #

21:22 After a day of shed clearing and journeys to the tip, it seems appropriate to watch Kitano’s ‘Dolls’, so I will. bit.ly/3vt0D3 #

08:08 On our way to legoland, who is the elf out of LOTR. William started with ‘are we there yet?’ before we’d reached the motorway. #

08:12 twitpic.com/fb6jk – Are we there yet? Brief respite. #

09:22 0922 Are we there yet update: no. #

09:25 @idiotjohnson @girlonatrain – and there’ll be no ice-cream for you when we do get there if you keep asking… #

09:29 @iMacstu Legoland: nr Gimli-on-Thames? #

10:36 @Girlonatrain That’s better. But you’ll have to wait til after lunch, now. And no big rides until it’s gone down properly. #

10:45 twitpic.com/fbdii – @facey They’re NOT cute! #

13:13 twitpic.com/fblfv – Are we there yet? Yes. #

17:32 twitpic.com/fca8a – No mivis, I’m afraid. This’ll have to do. #

14:08 @uragraymalkin Two tickets for Luke Haines at the Deaf Institute secured – I won’t have to watch Seraphim Falls again. #

14:17 Holiday, Day 2: Tidying the loft and home office. That’s my so-called office at home, not the actual Home Office. #

19:58 @uragraymalkin bit.ly/xIWTz Mountain Goats at the Ruby Lounge any use to you? (via @follyofyouth) #

20:04 Good news everyone! The office/loft clear out and re-org will take no longer than 3 months effort. Just need to plug that into the CBA… #

22:40 Off to legoland tomorrow. I would tweet loads but I wouldn’t want you to block me. BLOCK me! Actually, that doesn’t make any sense… #

23:06 @idiotjohnson That’s what they said to Alan Johnson. My shredder’s not up to spec for that job, though. #

00:01 @stephenfry Misread b’day as body on the first pass… Somewhat influences the inference. #

09:48 Eggs for breakfast!? #

11:26 Solicitor’s done, flat sold. Now, on with my holiday. Wondering whether to get a haircut while I’m still in #Lancaster. Nah. #

11:33 @iMacstu Well, I’m not actually at *work* but I do have business. Next, off to BigStorage to get some, er, storage, then on with the storing #

11:47 twitpic.com/f3hrh – Well, do you? #

23:54 I’m going to drink some whisky to see if it makes the experience of watching Seraphim Falls less dull. #

00:18 @UraGraymalkin skips and syrup? doritos and dairylea? #tenuousalliteration #crispsandcondiments #

00:50 Showing my ignorance, but I’d not heard of TV21, so I dug this up. Hey, It’s got a good beat. Scotch post-punk. Enjoy! song.ly/179mq #

00:51 (not heard of TV21 until @girlonatrain mentioned them, that is) #

02:05 @davidschneider Woke up w/David Schneider under my feet. Forced him to hop naked into the street. He cried. Very uncool. The wasp. #

10:40 @UraGraymalkin #crispsandcondiments Right, I’m going to the shop for potato/maize based snack inspiration. #

22:46 RT @guardiannews:German GP who accidentally killed patient was advised to ‘go home’ bit.ly/15QZ0E David Gray: Better safe than sorry. #

23:22 Right. Another ep of Firefly and a taste of Aberlour, then off to bed. I’ve put the whisky on high shelf out of sight. Worth a try. #

23:30 @UraGraymalkin On the ep named ‘Jaynestown’. Kinda enjoying it, 40min eps seem lightweight, though. Some stories reminiscent of star trek. #

23:34 @UraGraymalkin #firefly I am enjoying the Deadwood/Farscape x-over. Struggling to understand the fervour of the fans and the cult status… #

09:31 @UraGraymalkin Clarification: Are you asking for the best performance of a song heard live, or songs best heard live? #songbestheardlive #

09:50 @UraGraymalkin Very clear. Just wondered why it is #songbestheardlive and not #songsbestheardlive. Can I only choose one? One per tweet? #

16:27 Semi-productive afternoon. Flights booked for November’s trip to see Wilco in the ‘dam (bit.ly/16qF1X ). Hmm, OK, *barely* productive #

16:33 Off to feed myself and then on to play golf at Heysham. God, I hate golf. And Heysham. Need the (golf) practice for next weekend, though. #

17:01 RT @The_Visitor:If you think you are a Morecambe F.C’s biggest fan then we need to know | ow.ly/kQyG=Erm, won’t they be at the match? #

17:09 I’ve just noticed the skillful editing in that latest tweet from @The_Visitor. Doesn’t matter, it’s not like it’s their job or anything. #

17:17 @UraGraymalkin It might also explain why their shabby rag is so devoid of anything interesting about THIS Morecambe, too. #
