@UrsulaWJ I’ve been walking. It does seem a touch breezy for enjoyable cycling.
@UrsulaWJ It has been remarkably survivable. Bit surprising, but not consistently bad for any length of time.

@Kavey That was my guess, though I know very little about jamology.
I came out for exercise. Going well. Left Handed Giant’s Red 5 is reduced-calorie, right? pic.twitter.com/aDft0cWEkn
@Picklechu Only if that stood for partially-burned jam.
@Kavey It was made of some kind of berries, but apart from that, it was quite tar-like.
@RadioKate Sparks? I certainly wouldn’t risk it.
Naming no names, local deli/cafe, but jam should not be hard to spread and chewy to the point of crunching.

@samsneed12 @talkie_tim “Messages” confused the hell out of me the first time I saw it (in a @Beathhigh novel, as I recall.)
@talkie_tim @samsneed12 Joking aside, it’s a useful distinction for me, as my GTD contexts are basically “at home” and “out shopping”.
@samsneed12 @talkie_tim That’s the way I had them on the list, the last time I repointed my chimney with milk.
@talkie_tim My feeling is that an errand specifically requires you to *go* somewhere.
When you have a lot to do, the first, most important task is to procrastinate by buying todo..instagram.com/p/BEouGbuJCyi/BD

@chubbybannister I’m watching you watch Inception.
@compliciteve Glad you’re enjoying it! Hopefully I’ll feel the same way about this Steel.
@hayles Not as nice as my just-a-watch watch, sadly, but hopefully the usefulness will make up for it.
@Bristolvor Withings Activité Steel. One of the few watchlike fitness trackers that’s not actively downright ugly.
@compliciteve …how are you finding the Pop? I’d like to have had the Sapphire, but bit pricey before I know if I get on with it!

@bexxi One clearly cannot judge a Dan by its cover. Annoying-looking bloke has just waved Dan goodbye.
@Bufty_Grifter These are excellent. Perhaps a little more in a potato wedge direction than purebred chip.
@bexxi Well, it’s all relative. It’s possible that Annoying Dan is yet to turn up and this guy is a mere amateur.
@Bufty_Grifter I’ve got them tied with The Ox for best posh chips in Bristol. More research needed, clearly.
@bexxi TWO men have turned up. One does look naturally annoying. Waiting to find out if I’ve guessed right ;)
Two girls and dog at next table waiting for “Annoying Dan”. Wondering what will turn up.

@hayles I watch the lawnmower one while recovering from a hangover and it was perfect.
@emmachampion6 Hrm. Hobgoblin at the bottom of Park Street? I’ve not been in there often, but they didn’t strike me as too blokey.
@emmachampion6 I don’t really play, but I use one in pref. to a keyboard for adding basslines to songs because I find it easier.
emmachampion6 If I wanted to buy a bass guitar so I can learn to play, where would be good place to look for one? #Bristol any tips? tis b’day pressie
@emmachampion6 Also, my cheaparse bass is an Encore. They’re a reasonably respected low-price brand.
@emmachampion6 (I think I’ve bought all my guitars in Bristol from Treblerock, but I don’t know what they’re like for beginners’ basses.)
@emmachampion6 For a lot of options in one place, I’d probably hit PMT Music in town. Don’t forget you’ll likely want a practice amp, too.
Following _The Archers_, I am now ironing whilst watching James May reassemble a telephone. Am basically middle-class performance art.

@samsneed12 @chubbybannister That’s just how I find it, and I never got used to it. But my friend Tara loves it & buys their beans for home.
@samsneed12 @chubbybannister There is something about their particular bean + roast that’s very distinctive, and quite love/hate.
