Leaving a gig in London early makes me wish I didn't live in Berkshire; escaping the city and whizzing through countryside I'm glad I do.
The sun is shining, watched my team give a superb project demo this morning and now had some very positive recruitment news.
I'm accidentally watching Jerry Maguire. I can feel ovaries growing.

The worst thing about weekends is having to do housework.
Back from the Audi dealership. Bought myself a newish ex-demo TT with lots of gadgets. Now waiting to hear when I can pick it up!
@BradHaverly Well the sat nav does have a 600 Mhz processor and plays DVDs so maybe one day :)
Rediscovering Radiohead's awesome Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP from years ago on @spotify - http://bit.ly/JaKhL
@BradHaverly Get stuck into @spotify. Lots of old Radiohead singles and rare stuff. Brings back happy 90s memories for us oldies :)
Booked a test drive for an Audi TT on Friday morning. I'll probably frighten myself silly after 5 mins, but it's time to put up or shut up.
It's now more than 24 hours since we were last able to process repeat subscriptions with SagePay. Their service is still broken.
Amused to see Fleshlight Motion trending on Twitter while watching sanctimonious prude fest Hardcore Profits on the box.
Flights booked for Singapore in Jan, plans made for Andalucia in April and next I need to book Austin for SXSWi. 2010's going to be awesome.
Probably the most awww-inducing page on the web (via @b3ta): http://www.olivepixel.com/misc/kitten/
@CampaignMonitor I've been unable to log in to my "globalpersonals" a/c for two weeks. Support/reset emails aren't being received. Help!
"I do enjoy a burger in a bap, but please no mayonnaise!" Top George Dawes song. #shootingstars
watching Radiohead from Sunday at Reading: http://bit.ly/1TgWeT (UK only)
At #ReadingFestival watching generic shouty kids rock. Waiting for decent stuff to come on and people watching.
This season's festival fashion for young ladies is hotpants and wellies. So I've heard.
Scrubbed my bathrooms squeaky clean in preparation for my little sister coming to stay. Just call me Barry Scott: http://bit.ly/CillitBang

@ioptics @teabass @rawnet Good work fellas. Last Percent looks great and my OpenID sign-up and test worked well. Now go get some sleep :)
Celtic: offered nothing, pub team players, can we play you every week, over-rated fans, song nicked from Scousers, cheerio.

Upgraded my Sky package to include ESPN ready for Everton v Arsenal later. Let's hope ESPN's coverage is better than Setanta.
Coveting a Subway BMT footlong for lunch. My Wii Fit is going to be so disappointed in me.
Lost Reading Festival tickets crisis over! Postie had filed them in the wrong pigeon hole, no doubt after a liquid lunch at the Windlesora.
My Reading festival tickets have been stolen. Royal Mail says they've been (Special) delivered and signed for but I've not got them. Grr.
Pleased to see so many people flocking to @wld this evening. I think that's a record number of members online.
Sitting in M11 accident jam. People who crash and survive should lose their licence. I'm hot, irritable and uncharitable!
Gatecrashed the youngsters' Friday at the pub with @rosswilliams. Probably best we left when we did before their style was fatally cramped.
@Tomtids Well I'm 30 now; the kids are 18-20. An entirely different generation. You could be their father!
Off to watch Surrey vs Derbyshire in the Pro 40 cricket for an afternoon of leather, willow and lager.
@Jordo_Digital @MelKirk I'm afraid I did what any other man of a certain age would do with a block of blue plasticine. I made a smurf cock.
Won the first innings sweepstake by two runs. Five whole English pounds are mine!
I won the second innings sweepstake too, predicting a win by four wickets. Just call me Bumble.
Failing to understand why a supplier would respond to an email with a phone call, leaving a message to call them. Just reply to my email!
RT @mattjukes: sorry, but you do need to know this exists. http://fuckyeahanimalswithcasts.tumblr.com/
Boiled egg eaten, tea drunk, now waiting for the umpires to stop stomping around the outfield and get play started
What a talent Jack Wilshere is. Mustn't get carried away, but I can't wait to see him rip into Premier League defences this season.
@MelKirk @FrancescaHeath Danny Dyer? Most laughable mock-hardman since Ross Kemp. Danny Dire's far better: http://bit.ly/17ZLC8
Filling out cells in a big, important, shared Google spreadsheet. Crossing fingers that it doesn't break.
Learned lots today from our clever people about Scrum and then affiliate marketing. Combining the two on a new project.
Saw an unexpected hour of very good, very funny new Stewart Lee material last night at Water Rats, Kings X. Bliss.
Listening to Radiohead on very good Bose headphones. Volume up to 11. Might be deaf quite soon.
Half watching the cricket, killing time before heading out to London for some comedy at the Water Rats tonight.
