@aaronsw All my old @mac.com mail got auto-redirected to <same>@iCloud.com mail, after the interlude that was MobileMe, if that helps?

@blunt_knives @Bristol_Culture In that case, I’d call Park Street “Upper Hotwells” :D

@rabidbee Well, it could have been a lot worse than his back, at least.

@rabidbee Draw a nice shape on yourself with the repellent and at least you’ll get a mozzie tattoo.

They did *what* with the Korean flag? Sorry, is this the real Olympics, that parody show, or an episode of Yes, Minister?

Just escorted a daddy long-legs from the premises. Much bigger and I’d have needed to hire a fork-lift.

@LynnCherylEde I don’t type so well when my head is hurting from the noise. Bah.

Unless, of course, someone actually *is* trying to steal Hotwells Primary School.

SHUP UP LOUD ALARM.

@nicepaul This is why mine retains the James the Engine sticker over the apple, from the last big group holiday I was on…

In amongst the bills, company stuff and Virgin Media spam there are occasionally pleasant and inoffensive missives. pic.twitter.com/SnZmLTug

Christ’s sake, Google. *You* foisted the Jeffrey Archer novel on me. I immediately deleted it. Stop recommending more of them!

ckh2oman .@gothick If I heard my drive making chipmunk noises I’d shoot it on sight.

Though SSD will be faster, I find the whirr-and-chipmunk noises of a healthy backup drive pleasantly reassuring.

Going to do a full backup of this Mac before installing Mountain Lion. Because that gives me a reason to use the laptop in garden instead.

@claireellent Plus: Wind chill. Not sure about the uphill bits, though.

via Echofon in reply to claireellent

@claireellent Still worthy of respect. I just walked up Brandon Hill and I nearly died.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to claireellent

@Thehappyfatgirl Nope. Only come out for lunch, so little danger of burn.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

Confirmed: @VeeDoubleMoo’s ice cream is lush. Now to go cool off somewhere for a while. Brandon Hill is tough walk on day like this!

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Thehappyfatgirl Pretty lovely. Got far too bloody hot getting here, though. *Melts faster than his ice cream*

@Ninja_lynneja Just saw someone walk past looking clearly *really* “happy” to be wearing a travel ad T-shirt…

Pausing for a photo. Not because I need a breather halfway up. Oh no. instagr.am/p/NgPd0JpC7v/

Right. I need a walk. Might balance the exercise by going to Brandon Hill and having an ice cream :D

via Echofon

@SwiftKey Is there a way to get a dedicated apostrophe key on UK keyboard? I’m so used to typing them I’d rather not use autocorrection.

via Echofon

Hurrah! Last year I had ice cream on Brandon Hill, and it was dreadful. But I had Vee Double Moo ice cream at weekend, and it was lush.

Grrr. Get Running isn’t posting to Facebook properly. If only Facebook’s Android app would just accept text like it *claims* to…

Hurrah. Coffee beans from @hasbean just arrived. Back to the Aeropress tomorrow.

Very glad of my current freelance lifestyle today. *Sits in cool basement in shorts and a t-shirt*

@AThriftyMrsUK Goodness, no. I did maths as part of mine, and I’m fairly sure it just made me less confident about what numbers were.

via Echofon in reply to AThriftyMrsUK

@AThriftyMrsUK Can she count? She may have been duped by three other students.

@MilliePaw @KaveyF As long as you’re quiet and easily blameable I’m sure we’d get on fine. :)

@stillawake @BoyfromBristol My Nan were a “Yorkshire lass” from birth to death, guess it’s similar…
