• Enjoying the kind of afternoon that it's actually quite hard to tweet about, mainly because almost nothing is going on. Which is fine by me. #
• With Naomi at the playground, determined to make the most of this time before she starts getting into High School Musical (or whatever). #
• Wondering if you wonderful 'tweeps' are all having a Sunday afternoon nap, and whether I should be trying that myself. #
• How many 'twibbons' is it possible to assign to a Twitter avatar at once, and who holds the record for the avatar with the most additions? #
• Just back from "Harry Potter" no. 6 – they did a fine job of adapting it, but did JK approve of the part not in the novel (Burrow attack)? #
• Back to something approaching normality – at least it was a good wool off. #
• Hang on – "good wool off"? Dratted predictive text – of course, it should have read "good WEEK off". Ah, it can only get better from here. #
• Lunching, and about to send out the odd e-mail, tweet, etc. while I can. Might fit in a stroll around the block too. Wow, I'm active. #
• We're just back from some twilight blackberry-hunting – I think the bushes in our area must be a variety that ripens later than others. #
• A wonderful sunny start to the day – the more the better, if it helps the blackberries ripen… that sounds like a quote from Alan Bennett. #
• Would rather like to know how large Nokia's rumoured "Rover" 3G-enabled Internet tablet is, and if T-Mobile UK will carry it. Looks great. #
• A local musc store has (gasp) a #dulcimer in stock. Tried it; not too bad for an "Ozark", and definitely better than nothing (the usual). #
• OH: "Daddy, I made the soap all soapy…" (I think she was referring to a liquid soap bottle.) #
• Did some more recording on a track for our Christmas (!) CD project last night. Want to do as much as possible now before we get too busy. #
• Wish I knew why I feel so dozy this morning – I thought I slept quite well last night. Ah well; to the day. #
• I held the chicken in the air, but my nose was too small for the deckchair. #lists (Baffled? search "Spitting Image chicken song") #
• Oh sorry – I've just 'got' the point of the #lists Twitter meme. Back in a mo'… #
• Just said goodbye to a French friend, so I can cross that off my 'adieu' list. #lists #
• "It is a folly to expect an open door to remain open forever." – Robert Fripp #quotes #
• At a "bring a book" evening with friends. Suspect I'll win the "highbrow award" of the evening (Peter Ostwald's biog of Glenn Gould). #
• "7 Reasons To Switch To Windows 7", eh? OK: (1) It's not Vista. (2) Er… (3) …that's it… oh, just install Ubuntu or get a Mac, eh? #
• Made extra-special effort to trim down the 54 RSS feeds I subscribed to in Google Reader. Now down to… er, 52. #
• Was that sleet I saw outside the window for a moment just there, or just very, very light rain which sort of floats a bit as it comes down? #
• I wonder if I'm known in the workplace, as "that guy who uses a keyboard with his mobile phone"? No-one's really asked about it before. #
• That's 3 nonsense spams I've had via my Wordpress blog's contact form in two days. If I can't reason with these dolts, can I stop them? #
• Setting off for an afternoon out with the ladies ( #
• The ladies in question being my lovely wife and daughter, naturally ( that's not the first time I've pressed "Send" in TweetS60 by mistake). #
• That's one thing I'd change in TweetS60: the right softkey is configured to "Send", where normally one would expect "Cancel" (d'oh!). #
• I can honestly say today is the first time I have ever seen a vulture sneeze. #
• In case my last tweet needs decrypting (i.e. sneezing vultures): we're at a wildlife park for the afternoon. #

A quick ‘head-up’ to let you know of a new feature I’ll be testing out on the blog from this Saturday: a weekly digest of my Twitter posts (tweets) from the previous seven days.

Made possible by the Twitter Tools plugin for Wordpress, the digests will be as much for archival purposes as anything else, but it can also be seen as an adjunct to my ‘lifestream‘ page, and a way of integrating my Twitterings into this blog. I don’t know how well this will work, but hope you’ll at least bear with me whilst I’m trying it out (and perhaps even find it useful!).
