My @Virginmedia Internet connection now back after 6 hours out. Tried ringing – too busy to get through. This is getting very unreliable. #
Like a bear with a sore head. I think I've cracked a filling and can't see the dentist until Wednesday evening. #
Ah! My @VirginMedia Internet connection just came back after about 14 hours downtime. Where's the redundancy? How long will this go on? #
And after about 10 minutes my @VirginMedia Internet connection disappeared for another 5 minutes. Back again now. This is ridiculous. #fail #
Got my music ready for tomorrow's end of term concert at Dunstable Music Centre. It's a start. #
Just loading the car up for Dunstable Music Centre end of term concert #
My @VirginMedia Internet connection finally came back after another 3.5 hour outage this afternoon. That's over 20 hours downtime this week. #

Viola tuned and practice completed. Reminded me of 'How is lightning like a violist's fingers? Neither one strikes in the same place twice.' #
A5 at night + rush hour + bicycle – lights = death wish #madness #
Daughter's learning about Fair Trade in Brownies. Tonight they're tasting chocolate. It's a hard life! #
Ah, @VirginMedia internet connection just came back. Out from sometime about 3 ish this afternoon. Was just finding the number call them. #
Just completed my daughter's Operation Christmas Child shoebox to take to school tomorrow. http://t.co/5SHFqNRZ #
Perfect weather today for Spag Bol. When's your Dolmio Day? #
Just heated my son's gumshield up so that he can get it to fit well. I wonder how long I can get him to wear it. Very quiet at the moment. #
Just starting 'Snuff: Discworld Novel 39' by Sir Terry Pratchett http://t.co/LkUJPD5Z via @ #
Just been watching Mediaeval Baebes – Veni Veni Bella http://t.co/UA0x0Dsd via @youtube #
Just read Queensbury Upper School's Ofsted report http://t.co/gBfBnZr0 Oh dear. I wonder when the migration to Manshead will start. #
Loving Dragons' Den on Children in Need with @Lord_Sugar #cin #
Frustrating! Inspiring Music don't even have their own Music Centres' end of term concerts listed on their calendar of events. Sent an email #
A pint of Wychwood Goliath and then settle down to watch Thursday's Lost Girl. #

Baritone and Tenor horn practice done for the evening. Went pretty well I think. #
Jo and the kids just off to Ashton for their open evening. They're all playing in the orchestra/band tonight. #
Remembered to collect the kids from school. Check. #
Considered my options and the glass of red wine won. #
Just finished updating the maps on my Garmin. The location of my work's postcode that OS corrected back in May is still wrong on the map! #

I just added a STING IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT PVG on my PayPal wishlist! http://t.co/xNaMyZrt #
Dunstable High Street still closed for investigation following a lorry ramming police cars in traffic 5 hours ago http://t.co/CUKLXh3x #
Ukulele signed by @TheUkes up for sale on Ebay, starting price £20 #
I only went to get A from her tenor horn lesson… and came back with a borrowed euphonium. Thanks John. #
Probably should be doing viola practice, but watching #EducatingEssex instead. #
Just noticed the best before date on my Wychwood Scarecrow bottle, 31st August 2012. I can't imagine any getting to their date. This won't! #
Getting ready for Dunstable Music Centre this morning. It will be a two car journey today. There aren't more instruments, just get bigger. #
