  1. Saw a small, strangely-patterned courgette the other day. It was an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polka-dot zucchini.
  2. @mkincaidspeller Moi? Whyever would you think that, Maureen? @tomhpollock @arrroberts @SamSykesSwears
  3. Ricky Martin wins #theapprentice. Cue a thousand "Livin' la Vida Loca" puns.
  4. Surely now it's going to be Ricky rather than Tom? #theapprentice
  5. I think Ricky could win this... #theapprentice
  6. The makers of The Apprentice missed a trick by not having the organisation of today's river pageant as one of the tasks.
  7. Finished The Man Who Rained & am almost, but not quite, satisfied. Now want to read Girl With Glass Feet for comparison.
  8. When do we get to vote for who should be evicted from the barge first?
  9. Today I shall be reading Ali Shaw's The Man Who Rained. *Looks at weather outside* - how appropriate.
  10. @jpsmythe SFX ran a feature called "Isn't It Time You Gave Crime Traveller Another Chance?" Entire text of two-page spread: "NO!"
  11. @jpsmythe No.
  12. Hello, Dearly Beloved #priestsongs
  13. @mpphillips Haven't you heard the new Black Eyed Peas track, "Now Then, Now Then, How's About This Then?"
  14. Reminiscing over The Crystal Maze. #cubetasks
  15. A round up of my blog posts from last month: wp.me/ppw5m-1mG - Sarah Hall, Kazuo Ishiguro, Fiction Uncovered, and more...
  16. @foxvertebrae "Susurrate"?
  17. @ActuallyAisha @orlikeawhale Ah, that's interesting. (@meandmybigmouth might like to know that, too; he really enjoyed The Lost Books).
  18. @squeakattack And it's not even the correct way to pronounce "ma'am"...
  19. @ActuallyAisha I read one of Mason's stories in the first issue of Night & Day (bit.ly/L8F3HO), and liked it very much.
