- @kindlebeard Dig out Asleep in the Back and compare – Funnily enough, I didn't like that when it came out, but it sounds much better today. #
- @kindlebeard I totally agree, it's got all of those ingredients, but it just doesn't grab me at all for whatever reason. Strange, isn't it. #
- Anyway, there's helpfully a Spotify playlist for the #Mercury prize. http://bit.ly/nEdjEn #
- @kindlebeard Much better than loads of other stuff, and obviously much better than I could ever hope to do, of course. #Elbow #Mercury #
- @campdave Perfectly listenable, but instantly forgettable and not compelling at all. I'm just thinking about other music when it's on. #
- @kindlebeard It's a good album, I'm listening to it now, but it's not scintillating, not thrilling. I know that's not what the prize is for. #
- @janlbuxton Crikey – my time line really is all messed up. I really thought it was last year, but now you mention it I remember The XX LY! #
- @marieiram Somehow didn't realise there was a fee and stuff. Must look into this further. #
- Got lots of reading to do and stuff to watch, so chores can wait. This is the problem with summer, outside is too appealing until too late. #
- Now: Digital chores, or leisure activities? Hmm, got hundreds of photos to sort, but CBA (which is why I've still got hundreds to sort)… #
- Maybe I'm being naive; I was talking to someone about the Mercurys last night and they told me you have to pay to be listed. Is that right? #
- It's a perfectly nice album and everything, but I'm baffled by Elbow being nominated for a Mercury again. More baffled than by their win LY. #
- @dartogreen Isn't there one at Ingleton, or somewhere? Hmm, hang on… Yeah, outdoor, but heated http://bit.ly/piTxLN http://bit.ly/qWlX5E #

- RT @ukuleleboy: @jrwi Looky,right now http://yfrog.com/kehi3fpj #
- @ukuleleboy Nice! It smells sooo good. #
- *of #
- Going to listen to it on the veranda (patio) with a wine glass od Punk IPA (thanks to @BlueVanMan and @ukuleleboy for leading me into that). #
- Still, at least I can now listen to it on my MP3 player. It was Apocalypse by Bill Callahan, in case you wondered. Of course you didn't. #
- Do Amazon own Grooveshark? I was so frustrated with the usability and dependability on my first attempt, I went to Amazon and bought the MP3 #
- Oh. My browser now has a profile, and it's identifying itself as a cupcake. How is this going to end well? #
- What the deuce? Why is there a cake in Chrome? #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ Sounds like a good band name. Windermere air show today, you should have gone. #
- @ukuleleboy Of course! More likely than a Pine Marten… #
- Seems there are various air shows nearby, meaning it probably was a Spitfire. Thereby proving that there are Pine Martens in Silverdale. #
- @Yorkie71 Didn't see the bomber, but it's good to know I probably wasn't hallucinating the fighter… #
- @MrFarty An air show, you say? I think I know where there's a Spitfire that could make an appearance. LMK and I'll put in a word… #
- What else could it be? Two wings, engine, flies in the sky, not a messerschmidt? Come on, help me out here. Not a squirrel, either. #
- Ignore me: I've also just seen a Spitfire fly over, I must be on something. #
- Just glimpsed a Pine Marten in Silverdale. Possible? What else could it be – dark brown, long tail, long body, leaps into trees, not a cat? #
- @BlueVanMan I wish they'd move that fat tortoise out of the way so I could get a proper look at whatever it is she's found. #
- Sat with Toby watching the final part of Sherlock, plate of cheese, olives and crisps, glass of wine. Fine times. #
- RT @Pete_Eaton 202/365 – Funchal at night (cloudy) http://flic.kr/p/a5RQVi #

- @idiotjohnson Are you sure it was a window and not a mirror? #bedroomstoonarrow #
- So, what happened to mobile data in Lancaster on Vodafone today? I've had nothing all day in LA1. Probably just as well for productivity… #

- A recent listen: Cuff the Duke – It's Over http://bit.ly/qpL3Rn http://bit.ly/jrwifm #
- @BlueVanMan Still hard choosing though! I'm going to end up borrowing my brother's again for our next trip at this rate. Might just always! #
- Off to bed to presumably dream about buying a draughtier, colder, smaller, damper, less-secure and less-sanitary version of my house. #
- @BlueVanMan What are you looking for? I assume something top flight if you're essentially sinking a chalet holiday into the budget! #
- Even when I select a tent, my consumer torture will not be at an end. Next up is bikes. Should be easy to make the right choice there, then. #
- @BlueVanMan Indeed. There are so many ways I could fail with this purchase, and life would be barely worth living if I drop *any* points! #
- Tents? C*nts, more like. #
- I've now spent significantly more time tent shopping than I spent on choosing my house & cars, and both children's names, combined. #
- Another frustrating couple of hours tent shopping. Selecting a family tent is without question the hardest thing I've ever been tasked with. #
- Rick Stein made me eat all of our chorizo. Feel less guilty than when I eat all of the biscuits at least. #

- @Yorkie71 Don't know if it's still on the table, but I'm wondering if someone's starting to lobby our local MPs as a prelude to something. #

- @ukuleleboy That would help a lot. Stocks, I ask you. #
- @ukuleleboy Does rooting allow the apps to move *entirely*? Got apps2sd, but they still take some phone space, & not all move e.g. maps! #
- @Yorkie71 I'll keep that in mind. Not sure I can bring myself to take the hit in upgrading only a year after buying it, though. Thinking… #
- @campdave Same here on the rooting, but may be forced into it. #
- @ukuleleboy Yes. Thinking about getting rid of the D e s i r e b/c of the ludicrously restrictive phone storage. No other reason. #
- Google maps upgrade bloats the app from 4 to 11 meg on my Desire. Up comes the low disk space icon, bang goes online messaging e.g. gTalk. #
- @nickebbitt Think that will suit their music really well. Should be cool. #
- @nickebbitt I've just spun it – rather better than I expected, tbh. Bold & confident. I predict they will be v. big, at least briefly. MIF? #

- @marieiram I'm ridiculously pleased with the bag. And if you'd asked me before our last walk about the utility of poles, I'd have laughed. #
- @Yorkie71 Catbells, tomorrow! Been meaning to get a new rucksack for a while, thought I'd grab one tonight and get more use out of it! #
- @ukuleleboy I was wondering that, then remembered I saw him irl at the aisle of light thing. Not on here for a while, though
cc @aghillo # - Would you like to see my new bag and waking poles? You would? Thought you might. Here you go, then… http://twitpic.com/5ir6du #
- Disappointed to discover I haven't got OS map OL4, however. I thought I had the entire Lake District covered. How very wrong I was. #
- Been adding to my walking arsenal (so to speak). Got a 30 litre day pack, which is awesome (I'm a bag freak), and some poles (I'm a freak). #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ Yes, yes he is. You planning 'owt for your b day, b friend? #
- Oh, was it a porno? RT @marieiram @ukuleleboy how come? #
- Oh, forgot to mention, and I know a lot of you are big golf fans – Played a quick 6 holes with my old dad earlier, and hit round in 3 over. #
- @janlbuxton @ukuleleboy I might have noticed once I'd got 'round to un-zipping it and looking at the track list, but now I'll never know… #

- @ukuleleboy Why it hasn't got music by the Mock Turtles I'll never know. Oh, it's coz yours is better, right? #
- @atl Neither is it the ker-azy experimental rock Tweedy was on about for the album, nor the 'cinematic-sounding country'. The man's a liar! #
- Finishing work. Even though it's going to be one of the latest sunsets of the year, still feel the darkness closing in on me. #
- "It's Dad Rock at its edgiest." New Wilco single. http://bit.ly/k2sg6o #
- My colleague is sat next to me at his desk and is taking part in a teleconference. His snack of choice for this meeting is a bag of crisps. #
- @UraGraymalkin How did you tear a muscle anyw..? Oh. Oh dear god, no. Must. Unthink. Tainted. Thought. #mindbleach #
- @UraGraymalkin Glad you're not dead. I *seriously* have no window for a funeral in the next couple of weeks. I guess I'd find a way, though. #
- On the run to iBad: work, home, flapjack, out. #
- @SharonMcG1971 Clearly, there are some local tweeters not fully connected into the @Twancaster family… (We're probably beneath them.) #
- @UraGraymalkin Malingerer. There's a war on, you know. Did you mention the whisky? You should tell them about the whisky. #
