  1. Mowed the lawn yesterday afternoon. It was a most satisfying activity. That is how English I am. Know me and be afeared.
  2. @NickyAACampbell Don't worry about beer, Nicky, it's a meal in itself hence no food required so the calorie balance is maintained. Perfect.
  3. @johannesroberts Well done for emailing God to organise the weather for you.
  4. @GillianRedfearn Why thank you, Gillian. It was a brilliant meet. We are a lovely family. @Suzanne_McLeod @SarahPinborough #suitablysmug
  5. @dahayden Ah, the curse of technology. Of course if you had words on paper, the distress would not have arisen...Vive la Livre!
  6. @ilkar1967 Decent. Combative, quite skilful, good long shot. Can go missing and was termed 'Leadboots' by some for lack of pace.
  7. @ashwinkumar50 @BrewBGCC @BumbleCricket That's a pathetic excuse, Ashwin Abuse unacceptable. No one's required to reply on twitter. Grow up.
  8. @RetroBistrot Done... hey, have you got high chairs? Thinking of heading over to you for lunch soon.
  9. @Rio_Youers The world envies you, my friend.
  10. @stephendeas Who came up with that particular pile of arse-leavings?
  11. @ajhmurray Too right, Al. Has been a really good morning. No WI collapse which would have been a shame. Shaping up for a good test match.
  12. @ajhmurray West Indies batting. 86-2 just before lunch. Anderson both wickets, bowled v well. Bharat batting beautifully.
  13. @GillianRedfearn Here's hoping the little cat is OK... sorry to hear about the accident, Gillian. @adamantine_lady
  14. BFS Awards shortlisted work starting to arrive... Peter Atkins... Reggie Oliver... The Weird Anthology (gosh what a big one). #work&pleasure
  15. @JosephDLacey I just love vacuuming, that's what it is. #lyingbastard
  16. @JosephDLacey Such is the glamour of the author's life. How you are envied!
  17. @ajhmurray Sadly can't make the RSC date but notice you have more Tabard dates in Sept... splendid. Tickets duly booked.
  18. @KoruCottage Memories are bittersweet things, are they not? Haven't played Minecraft myself, may it go on reminding you of The Raven.
  19. @ShearmanRobert You're going to have to shed those gloves before you tuck into the cucumber sandwiches, you know.
