@thomasvenables I’ve been lurgy-free for a couple of months until this crud. Sigh.
Snotladen, tired, watching _Skins_. #myfridaynight
@jcroft That sounds so odd to someone to whom “football” and “soccer” mean precisely the same thing…
@jcroft Welcome to the world of everyone in the UK who’s not particularly bothered by football.

@stillawake Just Glenmorangie. I never get too upmarket when I’m drinking as a cold cure!
Well, if I’m going to do it, I may as well do it in style. #whisky flic.kr/p/bFnLsz
It may be time for a @pieminister pie.
@archidave They are not, sadly.
Amusing side-effect of hardware fragmentation: Skype video transmitted from my Samsung appears upside-down to recipient.
HoeflerCo I’ve seen a LOT of attempts to model a font on the Penrose Triangle — this is the first good one. Great work, Martzi!behance.net/gallery/FRUSTR…Q
My brain hurts. See next RT.
@nigellegg You need a certain amount of decompression after doing a job like that all week. I was lucky *not* to be doing that work.
@nigellegg If it’s still mostly minimum-wage call-centre staff, I can’t say I’m hugely surprised.
@archidave Hah. And I did it just to prove that I actually *do* own windows.
*Checks yardarm for suns* *uncorks whisky*

@BlackDogDays Your veracity was not relevant to the story ;D
@archidave OI! You’re one of the few to visit my “garden”, which is definitely not subterranean! #toomanyinnuendi
@nigellegg You might not think so if you worked in the actual bank offices there. I used to, and I was ready for a beer by this time!
This little hyacinth smells lovely. Glad I finally planted this window box. #spring instagr.am/p/IhfSxVJC6V/
@bertpalmer That’s far less interesting than I imagined. “You must be —>this<— high to book a table.”
Buying comfort food. And possibly whisky.

Student at next table is protesting to her friend, “I AM NOT A GOTH”. Took me right back to _Naked City_. #nostalgia
@Lillput I don’t know if it’s a starling, but one local winged git has started doing a remarkably good impression of my alarm clock.
I am combating my cold by breaking my coffee embargo in style on the @wshed balcony :) instagr.am/p/IhOVPdJC3r/
Waiting for @MissEmmeline in Queen Square.
Ranting about my bank on LiveJournal. The old Matt is back :)
@amberanima Bloody hell. But I wouldn’t try that myself, because i know how my delicate repair attempts at electronics sometimes go…
Anyway. I and my man-flu are retiring with a copy of Interzone, a @netmag, and and Lemsip.
@guriben @amberanima I am a wooly liberal with buddhist leanings, though, or “complete softie” for short.
@amberanima @guriben Aww. Butterfly Rescue International have feeding advice! butterflyrescue.com/feedingbutterf…
@guriben @amberanima I would feed it fruit juice or sugar water and try to take awesome photos of it. But after that, yes.
@guriben @amberanima One of these, I reckon: butterfly-conservation.org/Butterfly/17/B…
@LynnCherylEde Presumably there was careful research to work out the best first question for not getting an immediate “fuck off.”
