Endured 2.5 hours of meandering, inaccessible gibberish watching the latest Harry Potter film at the cinema. She loved it.

Watching Fiona, an unflappable Eddie Stobart female driver, reversing an articulated lorry down an icy slip road on Five. Balls and beauty.
Sent a wink to my other half, Laura, one year ago today. Online dating works.
Has there ever been a worse advert than that Confused.com singing cartoon woman nonsense? What do you sell? 18m strong? Eh?
I'm hoping that Santa reads @hicksdesign's hands-on Apple TV 2 review and decides I've been a good boy this year - http://bit.ly/eb4acz
Eyes recovering well after fighting through the snow to Harley Street for laser surgery today. Yes @cronkshaw you can smell the burning...
Genuinely pleased Arsenal have drawn Barcelona in the Champions League. They're the best team in the world right now so nothing to lose.
Yahoo is reportedly shutting down Delicious. Dreadful news if true. I've been using it for links for 6 years. http://tcrn.ch/g26dvL
Karren Brady: brains, beauty and even knows football. #theapprentice
Despairing at media focus on Charles and Camilla's sodding car getting defaced. Main issue buried in favour of actions by idiot minority.
It's hard enough recruiting. If I were a future graduate facing a lifetime of crippling tuition fee repayments I'd emigrate #ukbraindrain
Off to the O2 tonight to see Suede, 14 years after I first saw them
Tried to update the @wld status blog with note about our payment gateway being down, but it's hosted on @tumblr which is currently... down
Reading was heaving today but chuffed that all my offline Christmas shopping is done.
On a train hurtling through snowy England to Manchester enjoying the free wifi and beer (courtesy of @martinbtt)
"Location-based dating is just too creepy for the majority of people" - http://onlinedatingpost.com/archives/2010/11/location-based-dating-startup-seeks-place-data-for-a-check-in-app/ /via @datinginsider - even under 30s I'd say.
Lunch in Marylebone with my housemates from 10 years ago in Auckland. We're all older but very much the same.
Giving this recipe a go. Milk and white wine in a bolognese? 4 hours' cooking time? Better be good: http://bit.ly/e462Qs
In Economics lecture at the Emirates. Looking around for Wenger.
Smartened up today to attend the Deloitte Tech Fast 50 awards. We're ranked top in the South East and 8th in the UK: http://bit.ly/i1emwL
Impressed with Airplay streaming from my iPad to my Airport Express in iOS 4.2. No more need for the Remote app to play music wirelessly.
@bradhaverly this will make your day: RT @MacRumors: iOS 4.2 to Be Released Today, 'Find My iPhone' Now Free http://macrumo.rs/ct1OjH
Watching the Chuckle Brothers and Cheeky Girls on Celebrity Coach Trip. Sounds like an Alan Partridge TV series pitch.
Oooh. Murder enquiry in nearby sleepy Sunningdale. "Sledgehammered" hostage found in a van on the A30 and the road is now shut.
The office now smells of urinal cakes.
Saw more suicidal cyclicists tonight riding in the dark without lights. Did they never take their Cycling Proficiency Test? #suicyclists
Courtesy of the lovely @ian_winter I've got tickets to see Foo Fighters in July. Just as excited to be seeing Death Cab for Cutie again too.
Gareth Bale was a monster against Inter tonight. Shame he's Welsh.

Back from a Halloween party dressed as a tiger. Face painted and wearing an adult tiger print romper suit from Primark. Did the job.
There's a dog barking in the office next to me again.
Highlight of the @wld conference: @rosswilliams not realising he still had his radio mic turned on while going for a piss. Comedy gold.
In Essex in front of my parents' fire eating crumble. Perfect way to recover after a hugely successful @wld partner conference.
Working from home while a workman planes my kitchen door. Losing man points.
Still got it. Fixed girlfriend's O2 broadband VPN problems by downgrading router firmware and blocking auto-update port. She swooned.
After years of thinking about it, I've just booked laser eye surgery. 3 weeks of glasses (no contacts) beforehand and then never again!
Impressed by the demo I've just had from my @globaldev team of a major new @wld feature coming soon. A few niggles but great progress made.
Inbetweeners writers: do your homework. Uni of Warwick is based in Coventry. Also that student house has a London road sign outside. Lazy.
Enjoying the Friday @globaldev team forum. Good discussion with the team on deployment.
Watching the Great North Run coverage hoping to catch a glimpse of Super Laura in action.
At the Rec watching players from Bath and London Irish warm up. Very much being ignored by a giddy Laura.
It's been a hard Friday. Scrub, massage, gym, swim, sauna, steam room, monsoon shower and now this: http://yfrog.com/5nmmznj
Spa weekend in Wiltshire booked. Dangerously outside my comfort zone, but have gained vast numbers of girlfriend brownie points.
Great morning at @dconstruct productivity workshop. Getting myself organised.
