My Week In Tweets – 2012-04-22

  • Walking through Picton to seek out a fish supper. There is an unexpected spring in my step. I am awash with relaxed contentment. I like it. #
  • Spotted written on a sign outside an Irish pub in Picton: "What butter and whiskey will not cure, there's no cure for." #
  • I don't endorse woo-peddling in NZ or anywhere else but I've got to applaud the cleverness of the name and logo: http://t.co/3CIyFtEX #
  • I find myself stranded beyond the limits of the probability density cloud of sleep. #
  • The Picton Village Bakkerij opens at 6am. That's a little over an hour and a half from now. So what's it to be, body of mine: cake or sleep? #
  • And we're off! Cheerio South Island x #
  • Back in lovely Wellington, broke but with a happy heart, after a couple of joyous months spent adventuring in the south. #GoodMoodMonday #
  • Morning to you all, m'esteemed colleagues o' Twitter. #
  • I want this sticker: http://t.co/JiHXzZu0 #

  • Is there a logical equivalent to the ampersand called the ampersor? #
  • Bread has gone in the oven. Smells good already. #
  • Job applications done. Time to sit down with a cuppa and a book. #
  • That last tweet reinforces the sense that my tweeting has become somewhat stodgy and bland, like a pan of porridge left too long on the hob. #
