00:16 Lawks! You Sold the Farm by The Dreadful Yawns is good – #lastfm: bit.ly/9uqg8k #

00:18 Kids ‘copy parents’ drinking bit.ly/cE5ETD "…alternatives to alcohol, such as playing football, are also being encouraged…" Huh? #

00:23 Lawks! There’s No Place Like Home by The Dreadful Yawns is good – #lastfm: bit.ly/cusaBg #

00:34 Made the mistake of looking at the league tables – find that our ‘A’ are tied 2nd in the 2nd with 2 games to go w/last against rivals. #

00:36 That just makes tonight’s lousy display more annoying. Plus, I might not make that last match because of work commitments! Frustrated! #

02:14 A recent listen: The Dreadful Yawns – Get Straight bit.ly/9fJkSo bit.ly/jrwifm #

20:18 A recent listen: Okkervil River – Calling and Not Calling My Ex bit.ly/bqZZPx bit.ly/jrwifm #

21:04 So, anyone else enjoying the irony of people going out to buy the ingredients for pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday? #

23:15 Would have tweeted more this evening but I’ve been cleaning maple syrup from my beard for the past 2 hours. #

23:20 Anyway, gotta get to bed, big day tomorrow; Wednesday. Big day! 9 letters! big day, do you see? I am the real @serafinowicz! I am him! #

23:23 Oh no! I think they got the wrong idea about @iMacstu’s appeal for @ukuleleboy RT @guardiannews: Ukeleles for Haiti bit.ly/aijcTt #

23:34 @BeBopAJulia Syrup Strainer! Still, it wasn’t the worst place I had to clean maple syrup from tonight! Nah, it was really. #

21:49 RT @torrisholmebc: A disappointing ‘A’ team result tonight. Well, I assume so. So annoyed with my own play I forgot to check the final score #

23:33 In bed early, but trying to catch up on news and weather and my diary. Anything interesting happened today (Cameron’s co-op doesn’t count)? #

10:33 Leisurely breakfast, listening to Tune-Yards & reading back-issues of @NMEmagazine, courtesy of @nickebbitt. Ooh, @MidlakeBand, 8/10! Harsh! #

11:44 RT @jeremylimb: Got a lovely romantic day planned: syphilis, laudanum, drowning. #

11:46 Off out: shopping, gym, work, relatives. #

12:43 @UraGraymalkin Midlake mixtape? #

12:47 Niche shopping in Carny complete. Choice is gym or work. Gym or work? This is no way to run a f****** nightclub. #

12:49 Hope the rain doesn’t scotch mummy’s plan to take the boys to their party at the Trimpell on their bikes down the cycle path. #

14:03 A recent listen: Tune-Yards – Youth bit.ly/9EvXUN bit.ly/jrwifm #

19:01 Off out into #Lancaster for some Valentine’s drinking, don’t love anyone enough to buy them a meal. Except my kids, I suppose. #

19:03 If you’re out and about, I’m the middle-aged beardy one wearing a shirt 20 years too young and 20lbs too skinny. Ridiculous is the new cool. #

19:29 @UraGraymalkin ‘Necking a kebab’. Nice euphemism for a romantic Valentine evening with a loved one. #

17:25 @girlonatrain @marieiram Smart! #

17:27 @UraGraymalkin Cool – just picked up your rec and I’m already half way through ‘Rest’ which I like very much. This is the modern way! #

17:43 @UraGraymalkin Ooh, DL. Nice. I was listening on #Spotify. What happens when we overtake the future? Sounds bad. #

17:59 post.ly/NhMM – Valentine’s gifts sorted, courtesy of @ASDA. Strange (and wrong) to use ‘courtesy’ and ‘ASDA’ in the same sentence. #

19:10 Watching ‘Battle Royale II – Requiem’ and eating Japanese (style) rice crackers and drinking saki. Except it’s not real saki, it’s lager. #

20:06 @UraGraymalkin Jesus! Have you got staff in to listen to music for you now? The Beatles 1580!? #lastfm #tweeklyfm #

09:10 Hurrah! Booths had taken in Toby’s scooter. It sat outside from around 4 until they shut at 10. Disband the police – there is no crime! #

10:04 Thanks for the congratulations on the scooter recovery – I’m as surprised as you are it wasn’t taken by an acquisitive tyke or bored youth! #

10:05 The drawback is it doesn’t help destroy young Toby’s faith in humanity. Plenty of time for that, though. #

20:57 @UraGraymalkin Are you able to spare some time to apply your not insubstantial logistical prowess to the problem of imminent gig scheduling? #

21:08 RT @markinreading: All tonight’s secrets unlocked on the #pubqt bloggage: bit.ly/9ryqW2 #bbcqt #

21:22 @nickebbitt No problem – it’s great, I’m using it now. Not sure you’d like what I’m listening to though spotify:track:2ujHhN1Sh7qHMmGoSQZcLg #

22:00 @facey There are people in Africa who’d kill for those calories – exercise is an affront to the hungry. #

22:03 @YonexCoach Thanks for the videos! I’ll be recommending them and your blog to our club membership. #

22:09 @UraGraymalkin Not bad for starters – it’s the as-yet-to-be-booked I’m interested/excited about! I’ll do the Midlake drive. When’s TNV? #

21:07 @jabe666 @kjcos999 @Dan_Whittaker_ GIRLS at Lancaster Library on 26th Feb? bit.ly/dwij8F (RT – dunno if there’re tix available…) #

21:26 Got a sweet note from NatWest – 18 years to go on the mortgage. I hope those years drag and drag, but I fear they’ll fly. #

21:28 @UraGraymalkin @facey The Get Well Soon cover of Nausea isn’t very faithful though, barely recognized it. #

22:58 Have YOU seen a Ben 10 scooter in Torrisholme? Mummy forgot they’d had it at Booths and came home without! I’ve just been round but no dice. #

23:00 Sensible Toby had told her to chain it up, but was told not to worry, they’d only be a few minutes. D’oh! Here’s hoping Booths took it in..! #

20:13 RT @natwallbank: Just saw the Sport Relief advert for Mile Ready, but was momentarily confused when I thought the stickers said ‘MILF READY’ #

20:24 @Reynolds Pleasing coincidence: Just watched an ep of Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle w/ a firefighters "this porn won’t watch itself" joke. #

21:31 Bit confused – just hit ‘try buzz in Gmail’ at www.google.com/buzz and it just launched plain ol’ Gmail… #

21:33 Oh, I see – "We’re still rolling out Buzz to everyone, so if you don’t see it in your Gmail account yet, check back soon." #

21:33 What’s the point in that then? #

22:29 Catching up on Gordon’s Great Escape and sweating to my www.hundredpushups.com/ & www.twohundredsquats.com/ workouts. I know! #

23:04 Still working on my Snapfish calendar, taking nearly as long as the period it covers. #

23:19 Wobbling and wavering and wondering whether to waste the weekday wagon and wet whistle w/whisky and West Wing or wait while Wednesday. Well? #

23:49 Nice! It did look like a beautiful day as I gazed longingly out from the office RT @neilboyd: Tonight’s sun setting bctiny.com/p1e2eg #
