They’re cutting down the Acacia tree behind us; not great from an environmental viewpoint, but it will mean we get summer sun after 1pm. # Finished entering 134 receipts into a spreadsheet, one step closer to the completing my last minute tax return! # Oh no… just found another folder of receipts.

An article about Soc Gen’s rogue trader ends: "His Facebook page had 11 friends, last night that was down to 4." An important detail. # Sitting in a restaurant and a woman has just run in, dropped a case by the stairs and run out again. Should I leave? #
"The PayPal site is currently experiencing technical difficulties with our credit card processor." This is on their test system… eh? # Spring ’08 is shaping up to be good for live music: I’ve booked for Fink in the Northern Quarter, Alabama 3 at the Academy, Portishead TBC. # Got an invite to Fork’d, Cooking 2.0. …
