H-Bird’s Weekly Twitter-Spatter

20 December, 2009

in O internet

It is possible I have outsourced most of my grumbling to Twitter.

  • Garden Man (aka @knedd) has this weekend mowed the lawns, cut back the driveway hedges and pruned the shrubbery. Take that, sloth! #
  • The big orange letters on Countdown Church Corner have been taken down for the logo change to green/grey. I feel a sense of bereavement. #
  • Furthermore, the Woolworths across the road has also changed into Countdown. Surely there can't be two Countdowns, Church Corner? #
  • In other neighbourhood news, the Christmas lights on the tree outside the Sockburn shops are now nightly aglow, a bit dingy but cheerful. #
  • A Facebook friend has two new kittens named Tiki and Tane. Nice! #
  • Finished major editing job. Not too shabby on a day when many disestablishments were proposed at work and solid food and I parted company. #
  • How powerfully I envy a certain workplace its nap-room. If I'm thus impaired I have to stay home. #
  • Happy birthday @wandaharland. I am late to the party but hope you are looking out across your little family empire with pleasure today. #
  • Congratulations to all the turbinates. I realise that is not the correct collective noun for people featured in Turbine, but it is a thing. #
  • Fern in high season sat briefly beside my head, and now I am encumbered with Eddie attempting to pitch woo to my hair. #onlytwiceayear #
  • This French Bulldog has amused me both before and after work: http://bit.ly/7cHWRW #
  • Because of reasons, there is less of me than in the spring. Today the phrase "clown pants" was used at work in relation to my clothes. #
  • There is another Megan in my unit, with whose work mine is sometimes confused. Today I got two sets of thanks for organising the Xmas lunch #
  • I am unexpectedly in the mood to go out, although probably not out-out. Have interrupted the nap of @knedd to announce our plans. #
  • I got a letter today to Mrs @knedd. Unfortunately they didn't specify at whom in the organisation I can yell at for addressing me thus. #
  • It's not the name that I mind so much as the Mrs. Despite the state-sanctioned relationship, that's not how I roll. #drwhinge #
  • Oh my goodness: http://bit.ly/5QJONQ. What a shame that neither @knedd (aka Señor Mojito) and I could eat most of the items on the menu. #

You are probably due a blogpost to tell everybody christmas stuff and explain the context of the letter to your readers.
(you don”t have to post this if you do not want to if you do please cut out this bit)
