First ever school run of proper school. Done. Weird.

@LauraAWNTYM Bizarro (wheat-free) sandwich combination of houmous and mature cheddar. Yum yum yum. You?

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@LauraAWNTYM Hey hey, your blog's looking fabulous! All flowy and zen and lovely.

RT @willcritchlow: We are heading out of the @distilled London office. Mainly just being cautious I hope << I hope so too. Stay safe.

@himupnorth Ah, good old Wiktionary. Also good for etymology: http://bit.ly/nXex1L Not as many entries, but nicely detailed!

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@himupnorth I think it's from "physiognomy".

@sjpinches What's that IT-nerd maxim... a file doesn't exist unless there are three copies of it on separate drives? That's my mantra.

[Will Critchlow @willcritchlow]

Me too. Nice RT @tomcritchlow: Wow - stunningly-designed page from the nytimes might turn me into a regular reader: http://dis.tl/rsMj0l

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@sjpinches But of course, you also backed up *before* you upgraded the OS, right? Right?

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@LauraAWNTYM You're at Ragdale Hall? @MaddyDodo was there just last weekend. Sans husband, I feel I should grudgingly point out.

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@cosmicgirlie Theme change! Thought I'd ended up on the wrong blog by accident. Nice though! Cleaner.

The random playlist in the shop seems to be lumping all the slow John Coltrane stuff together today. It's great, but... a bit melancholy.

Amazing - takes a special kind of attention to detail to completely recreate an entire Apple Store. Go China! http://t.co/jbSl2QN

Seems @MaddyDodo hasn't quite got used to her touchscreen phone. "Could" has just become "cooks", "xoukd", "ciyld" and then "ciyldog". :-D

Joy oh joy... the Dodomobile needs a new exhaust. That's £160 down the pan.

RT @hunkydoryhome: It's at times like this that I wish I owned a pair of wellies. << Wellies? You'll need a snorkel if you go outside.

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@BuggyTug Oh, thank you. That's lovely to hear.

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@BuggyTug Thanks. We thought the nursery industry would be fairly insulated from this recession, but it really has hit hard.

[Owain Dodo @OwainDodo]

@ChiggsLtd Really tough, yes (umming and ahhing for AGES), but totally the right decision now we've made it. Onwards and upwards.
