11:03 @Globeoffrogs Thx for the rec. Just Spotified Bardo Pond this morning, good stuff. Will try Dead Meadow later. #

15:06 A recent listen: Alberta Cross – Lucy Rider bit.ly/QL9e4 bit.ly/jrwifm #

16:06 Off to play some golf. Think I’m going to get wet. #

19:22 twitpic.com/ibthb – I did get wet, but I’m now sat in the car listening to Sun Kil Moon and watching the sun set over the club. #

21:12 A recent listen: BBC Audio – Orange Dinosaur Slide bit.ly/2wACGD bit.ly/jrwifm #

22:31 So many things in the read/watch/listen queues, yet I’m sat watching Casino Royale again… Right, Firefly, which is tolerated by mrs @jrwi #

23:34 Just in case. MOD UFO Hotline: 01494 496 254 (from bit.ly/bzpf2, via @fleming77) #

21:34 Christ, @derren_brown is doing a Jeremy Beadle. #

21:43 Think I’ll go and explore what’s in my doggy bag from Fortune Star last night. If Derren will let me. #

22:55 Is twitter/tweetdeck broken, or has everyone gone out and left their phones at home? #

17:28 Off into #Lancaster for drinks and food at the Fortune Star. Any meal recs? #

07:57 @mcdent RTM? Couldn’t manage without it at work, where I use it extensively. Less so in real life. Haven’t got it going mobile, though. #

08:26 @campdave 2.5 hours? That’s practically a BBC2 series. His pacing is usually pretty good, though. Still, always good to get to these gigs. #

09:02 @mcdent This is my problem with my N96! It’s no good as a phone, no good as a PDA, no good as camera. What’s it good at? Nothing. #

15:31 A recent listen: Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – After I made Love to You bit.ly/zU7yz bit.ly/jrwifm #

19:46 Lawks! Barney (…And Me) by The Boo Radleys is good – #lastfm: bit.ly/1KnFs2 #

20:05 Woo hoo! Finished in the office for the day! Hang on, it’s dark ffs. #

20:36 @Dan_Whittaker_ Non-alcoholic, I trust. #

20:42 Having a glass of wine and watching masterchef while I potter around getting changed after work. Getting hungry but pizza for me, no rabbit! #

21:13 @UraGraymalkin You accidentally heard it? Who was *playing* it, ffs? Now I have to live with myself having "intentionally" heard it. Thanks. #

21:20 @mcdent RTM: I use it as a stand alone app w/Chrome. Best feature for me is smart lists; I avoid too many ‘real’ lists, and use tagging. #

21:22 Pavement to reform? No…really! Drowned In Sound bit.ly/2xO2K Drowned in sound? Pavement? Geddit? (via @ EVERYONE) #

22:12 I lost track of the weeks, so it’s a small but nice surprise to find Private Eye waiting on my desk now. I’m so short of stuff to read… #

23:31 In honour of #whiskywednesday, I’m going to have a wee ‘Old Pulteney’ while I watch The Wire S5E2. #

00:02 @mcdent Cameras, yes. Got lucky, kinda. I met the family from work, so 2 cars, but I was about 20 mins delayed, narrowly avoiding 2nd fine! #

00:33 Love the new Smart Add features in #RememberTheMilk, especially the easy picking of lists and tags, and multi-task handling! Nice work @rtm #

00:38 Lots of theories out there on how DB did the #derrenbrownlotteryprediction. Well, the same theory lots of times: Camera trickery. Hope not. #

00:47 Early night #fail #

01:29 @jamesepain Seems plausible, even likely. Most detailed I’ve seen tonight. I’ll keep them handy for the Friday reveal. #

01:30 RT @jamesepain: Take a read at my theory on my prev tweets (the numbered ones). See what you think. @paul_mcmanus @leyanaspa @jrwi @davejemm #

22:42 @fleming77 Agreed, floccus was my first thought! #cloudspotting #

23:09 Just saw a cormorant fly over the Lansil estate #thingsimeanttotweetearlier #

23:10 Off into #Lancaster to pick up some cricket gear from @Sue_Bridges #thingsimeanttotweetearlier #

23:14 Gah, this new system for paying cheques in at Abbey is painful. I’ll be using the counter in future. #thingsimeanttotweetearlier #

23:17 Half way across town from the bank, I find I’ve still got their pen in my hand. Call it interest, Santander! #thingsimeanttotweetearlier #

23:22 I can’t believe the hairdressers are closed. At this time! #thingsimeanttotweetearlier #

23:24 So, I don’t always get time to tweet during the day, so I’m gonna do this retrospective thing as an experiment. #thingsimeanttotweetearlier #

23:26 Sorry about that. Off to bed now. Feeling a bit delirious with lack of sleep. #Insomnia #

22:45 @iMacstu Well, it turns out he got them all bob on… Will reveal the trick on Friday. Quite a good one, too. #derrenbrownlotteryprediction #

22:48 @iMacstu Nah, he didn’t get the bonus ball. Didn’t even try. Quitter. He’s on now on C4 doing his live thing from a few years back, btw. #

00:55 Right, chores done, time for an ep of Firefly afore sleep. Another Grolsch, an Aberlour and ‘Out of Gas’ tucked up with a snoring mrs @jrwi #

21:38 @UraGraymalkin It’s built if there’s pasta involvement, else it’s coalesced from the leafy ether. Don’t forget, construction is in my blood. #

21:39 RT @davidschneider: coping with Big Brother withdrawal by watching people in their houses then trying to evict 1 of them. It could end badly #

14:21 On hold with Lancaster City Council’s council tax section. No hold music, but instead a *very* short message on a loop. Irritating. #
