@UraGraymalkin Yeah, that figures if you're on the last train. Will try and join, but not hopeful I'll be ready in time. #

Still cool, but this evening felt more summer than I was expecting. Hey, does anyone else like WINE? #
@SharonMcG1971 Ooh, cuckoo. Think I heard one in my youth, which means I might as well not have done. Still searching for a woodpecker, too. #

@Girlonatrain @ToykoJazzPanda Me too, best not discuss it now though to avoid castigation from the slower readers in the #la1bc crowd… #
@booksaregood Eh? Is it? What happened to The Sisters Brothers, did we already discuss that one? #la1bc #
@Girlonatrain This was my main frustration, too, especially at the start. It was all about the pub & stuff he'd read, not his journey.#la1bc #

A recent listen: Marc Morrissette – Merci Cornerstore http://t.co/ojs2JnMA http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
@facey You should hear its soundtrack. #
@UraGraymalkin I'll be taking it easy while everything beds in, and no mistake. #
@idiotjohnson Funny you should ask – two forward gears, but you need a pit stop to change between them. #
Shiny. Very shiny indeed. It will not remain so for long. http://t.co/BqNOKxms #newunicycletosaveyoulooking #

@Yorkie71 No, just that I got the components from different sources and/or at different times – e.g pedals/tyre from CRC, frame from UDC! #
The components arrived in 4 separate packages at different times. When I start to assemble it, she will say, "oh, you have a new unicycle". #
Unicycle assembly Saturday. I'll get some snaps of it going together and post later – I know how interested you are in my dual-hole cranks. #

@marieiram @Pete_Eaton @UraGraymalkin We can always ignore the festival if there's better stuff. #keepforgettingwhywearegoing #
@idiotjohnson Where's the wine? #
@Pete_Eaton @KenRossJohnston I have now left Slough. Too much poetry. #
I'm in Slough! #
@virt_lancaster Thanks for confirming the earliness of the kite fest. Kind of a rhetorical-question-cum-retweet, but saved me checking! #
@Pete_Eaton In the jungle filming "I'm a sort of doctor type who looks at small stuff, get me out of here"? Or collecting poisonous frogs? #
@marieiram @UraGraymalkin @Pete_Eaton No, but I think when he was here we agreed that Pete would organise it, but Ian is less keen, now(?) #
@UraGraymalkin @marieiram While I remember, you probably need to let @Pete_Eaton know your current position on the proposed Douro trip asap. #
Happy Birthday, @thatwesmartin! Think I just got in in time. Not far behind you, but I'll never catch up in your lifetime. #

BSG. Forgotten I was watching this. Not, like, it was playing & I went to do something else. I mean, it's a few weeks since I watched one. #
I know you worry, so just to let you know I've had a super day doing TWO different styles of family cycling. Now BBQ & wine. L8r d00d5. #

Oops, is that the time? I really must get myself tarted up for the dog track. Changed my mind about dogs, would like to watch them sporting. #
@marieiram Waiting for that to happen with my kids. #
@marieiram I was told last night that it's either a dog or a baby she wants, so I'm in an invidious position here… #
@marieiram Note that it's far from certain we'll be getting one, but if we do, and it barks at me, I will silence it. #
I should mention that my views on domestic dog ownership are, er, illiberal, so I find it unsettling and distasteful that we might have one. #
Oh. They have all gone out together though. Maybe they'll return with an extra mouth to feed… #
…Or available, or whatever it is with these things. No mention of it in the cold light of the new morning, however. #
I acceded that it's her decision, but insisted I'll have no part of it. So she said she was going to get it today if it was still alive. #
Much drunken discussion with V. last night about a dog. She & the boys really wants one, and have even (dog) ear-marked a charity case… #

@SharonMcG1971 We should try to forget about it, it's months away; wish I hadn't spotted it now. Lots of other stuff to read. #TheCulture #
@timdifford Absolutely! #
@timdifford He's not much use to you, these days, is he? How about his non-fic? Did you read his whisky-logue/auto-biog? #
@timdifford Agreed. The Business was just so awful I've not been back. Transitions was 'M' in disguise. His sci-fi, otoh, just gets better. #
@timdifford I know, that's what sent me off to look at it. I'd have given it a (kindle) go for a fiver, but a tenner is a turn off… #
I *am* excited about the new Iain M. Banks, however, annoyingly not due until October… Hmmm, The Culture. http://t.co/4R61E2Uv #Masters #
Contemplated the new Iain Banks, but don't want to read it @ 9.99. I haven't read any 'non-M' since The Business… Ah, no, read Transitions #
…once I've bought it, it almost feels like that's the end, rather than the means. Easier to manage a reading list as a pile of books. #
Watching the #Masters but mostly buying books. I should probably read some, too. A Kindle is disturbingly like a to do list for me… #

If you want to scam a few quid from Lancaster folk, create a site advertising a mock Low gig. Doesn't work as well with a Mock Turtles gig. #
@Girlonatrain It doesn't seem to have been announced, but it's there on the site, so I hope it's for real. Might be a phishing scam. #
