@georgescu_r @racheleats Tastes amazing too - I’ll definitely be baking it again 😀

I’ve been inspired by Rachel Roddy @racheleats this week.

On Tuesday I cooked her recipe for broad bean, potato and fennel soup which provided two evening meals.

Then yesterday I made a Romanian apple and caraway loaf cake, her selection from Irina Georgescu’s book Tava. t.co/bD1bVouoj…

@ahockley @tryglass The bar doesn’t disappear AND the upload never seems to happen. I’ve tried to upload, left the app open with the “Uploading…” bar showing for up to 15mins and not managed to get an image actually uploaded - and my internet connection is not that slow ;)

@tryglass Hmmm … I definitely also seem to have problems uploading. Tried several times on two different devices over the last 24hrs and have not managed a successful upload. Before the update was having no issues. I’ll await your bug fix to see if that solves it.

@tryglass Since the update to 1.0.3 I’ve had problems uploading images. The uploading banner appears and persists but I see no progress bar and nothing uploads. Known issue on server or app end?

We have a new record. Haseeb Hameed’s nought is the 14th duck by a top-three England batsmen this year in England’s 10th Test. It’s the most Test ducks in a calendar year by any team, breaking the 13 by England in 1998.

And I was looking forward to seeing Hameed 😞

@tfwrail @transport_wales I’m OK with it on Twitter - just wanted to point out that improved customer information and a quicker alerting system could be in place with a bit of effort. No major inconveniences for me, so nothing more to say.

@tfwrail @transport_wales … and I even had an email at 06:45 saying there was NO disruption to services. Surely a (presumably) automated alert system should react more quickly.

@tfwrail @transport_wales Yes, but it looks like this particular service was stopped at Cardiff Central at about 06:40 - yet no alert to passengers further down the line was emailed out until 07:35 - see recenttraintimes.co.uk/Home/Service?S… t.co/xlFfCjOFC…

I don’t think I want to see Mastodon content in the Micro.blog (app or web) Discover sections, but I’m enjoying seeing photos from Mastodon users I follow appear in the Sunlit app Timeline.

@tfwrail @transport_wales Surely there was more than 15 mins notice - shortage of trains must have been known in advance and cancellations planned ahead of time. If the notification had been even half an hour earlier I could have made other plans rather than being stuck on a cold platform for 45mins …

@tfwrail @transport_wales 07:51 Abedare to Cardiff service cancelled this morning due to the number of trains needing repair: ACCEPTABLE. Email from your journey alert service sent at 07:35 - only 16 minutes before the timetabled departure: NOT ACCEPTABLE, earlier warning needed.

In Wetherspoon’s for a bacon roll - very tempted to have a beer for breakfast too after having to dig the car out again!

All the cheap retsina we’re buying in Kefalonia is from Crete - long way for it to come…

Don’t know why but I’ve been typing Kaleitos instead of Katelios all evening - too much ouzo, I think.

@valleyboi1 Seems warm enough here :)

The few tavernas along Kaleitos seafront are really good - all locally caught fresh fish on display & not too expensive!

Arrived at Kefalonia airport - tiny, 5 paces from passport control (guy in booth) to baggage collection, another 5 paces to exit.

Found a Wetherspoon’s in the departure lounge at Birmingham Airport. Happy now!

@cerysmatthews Ah - found it - 2006. I went in 08 & 09 - Jansch was there again in 08 with Pentangle - time you made a reappearance :)

@cerysmatthews Have you ever considered playing at the Green Man Festival (@greenmanfest) ?

Quite! RT @marcusbrig: I don’t want to run my local hospital. You do it.

That’s @TheGleeClub - first time I’d been; fairly intimate place to listen to live music (a good thing!). Size suited @cerysmatthews music.

Scary - went to Glee Club last night, then a few hours later they follow me on Twitter! And they’re welcome!

Very impressed with @cerysmatthews at Glee last night - so bought ‘Don’t Look Down’ - bit.ly/dpx3vd

Excellent Cerys Matthews 1st set at Glee Club Cardiff!

@AdamRutherford Don’t worry, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ returns soon!

@EkowEshun Because they fly a lot?

Three days of building IKEA furniture is over!

Oh dear… #avfc

@valleyboi1 Better than the recent 7-1, but unfortunate that it’s cup semi-final ( + we should have had a 1st half penalty!) #avfc

It’s all over now :( #avfc

20 minutes to recover #avfc

Top pizza topping - anchovies, capers & black olives :)

Slippery Wembley surface for FA Cup semi today! Villa very unlucky not to be awarded penalty. #avfc

@DrEvanHarris Certainly filled my iPod screen up in Tweetie!

@timminchin Should be watching @bbcreviewshow, not reading!

Phillip Pullman’s new book ‘The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ’ sounds very interesting. Discussed now on @bbcreviewshow.

twitpic.com/1e2elw - Gravitas.

twitpic.com/1e1w1g - Even warm and dry enough to sit outside…

twitpic.com/1e1nxe - Sunny day!

Hardly a cloud in the sky this morning.

twitpic.com/1e0juk - Hay not all about pubs though!

Baked crab followed by monk fish wrapped in bacon last night - superb! Now getting ready for a full English breakfast!

@valleyboi1 Porter for breaktimes sounds great…in fact, I’d give any beer a go :)

twitpic.com/1dvl30 - Hay pub #3 - several beers, including lovely HPA!

twitpic.com/1dvjpl - Rural view from room window - leaning out trying to find a phone signal :(

twitpic.com/1dv99i - Hay pub #2 - sardines, anchovies and Landlord…

Just found weak WiFi - now can use iPod but not phone!

Hay’s got worst mobile signal ANYWHERE!

@AbernantEagle Cheers - still having doubts about getting contract phone - don’t make enough calls!

Villa/Palace play Reading/Baggies next round - good draw!

@AbernantEagle Don’t think I can stand to watch England or Wales performances again!

@AbernantEagle Palace definitely need it :)

Ideal Valentine’s Day fare - afternoon of rugby and FA Cup football! Evening of romcoms ahead then…

@AbernantEagle Heart in mouth time!

Unless we can get even more corners…

Replay at Villa Park then?

Italy - England too close for comfort and now it’s 1-1 in Palace - Villa cup tie :(

@valleyboi1 Sounded more interesting as snake!

Tesco-isation of society? #bbcreviewshow is first time I’ve come across the phrase…

Sorry, but D’Ancona on @bbcreviewshow is looking a bit @jupitusphillip

@Glinner Surely 419 scamming and 419 baiting are very old news now?

@Glinner www.mesh.com if you didn’t know!

Also @Glinner I’m a big fan of the folder synchronise functions of Mesh - have few folders synced seamlessly over my work & home PCs

@Glinner Logmein is very good - I use it on a few PCs and couple of Macs - MS Live Mesh beta also good for remote desktop access for own PCs

@MattKingTown Can’t you just open iPhoto and import from iPhone like you would from digital camera?

@MattKingTown Plug in to Mac, open iPhoto - does iPhone appear as device to import photos from? My iPod Touch does…

@ronskanky Wikipedia is my friend :)

@ronskanky Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, Gay your life must be!

@ronskanky Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he.

@ronskanky Haven’t seen the lyrics, but is there a clue in the title?

Wonder if @timminchin has read Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives - bit.ly/aqDaeu

Also take on board @Writerer’s advice on Lovely Bones - looks a bit twee.

Have to agree with @Writerer about Sum - bit.ly/aqDaeu - though; interesting, not profound, and a little repetitive.

Return of @bbcreviewshow (reimagined ‘Newsnight Review’) not well advertised - managed to catch up with first programme on iPlayer though.

Yes - broadband now up to speed again - many thanks to @BTCare for advice on that one!

@BTCare Have emailed you my BT Broadband woes - look forward to an update on my situation!

Sad thing is that the BT Homehub is reporting a 6Mbps connection status.

Took 45 minutes to download a 1.86Mb file on my daughter’s PC :((

Need to report issues to BT, but internet access too slow to load a page of their site in less than 10 minutes.

Spoke too soon about my restored internet - am getting a stunning 100kbps (yes, kbps) broadband download speed.

At last - internet connection and phones working at home again!

Nothing there at @cockaygne just yet, but there will be as feeds become active.

Anyone who does still want to see the feeds I was auto-posting can now follow @cockaygne for the alternative news stories.

Should quieten down my Twitter and Facebook postings a little, and not submerge my personal updates :)

Adjusted my Twitter account slightly so only I see the feeds I’m interested in!
