    Easy run/walk in the rain!


    Like Icarus, I flew too high and close to the sun. My Oreo-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies are not a success. They are a (tasty) failure.

    @sharre Oddly, I don’t think I got mine removed. They just fell out after a couple weeks…?


    In the past month, 59 people have found my blog while searching for “pornographic woodwork.” Thank you Gary Gentle.


    RT @dancingman: Anyone want 2 tix to Bob Dylan TONIGHT? Great seats. HH15 & HH16. Please RT.


    Officially booked the hotel we’re staying in for the marathon in June. Less than 7 weeks to go!


    Can’t tell if I really feel sick, or it’s just because of the co-workers hocking up their lungs nearby. I need a face mask.


    Have recalled that Snook and I actually had to dress Bollywood once before for a wedding. Ready to laugh? http://bit.ly/dUdJUQ


    @Anthony_Mills I believe the look is called “this is what the costume shop gave us.” 🙂


    I was annoyed I was going to miss the Chaser’s royal wedding commentary… but it sucks they cancelled it for EVERYBODY.


    @randomknits Very nice!


    I like the Chaser too, but man, I wouldn’t want somebody snarking and crapping all over my wedding. Snark culture is starting to depress me.


    @devvyleys Ooh, thanks. Haven’t tried that song yet.


    Bollywood earrings, courtesy of Janhavi (@venks79’s missus). She also sent saris with SEQUINS. I feel glamourous! http://twitpic.com/4qap2g


    @drkknits Janhavi sent earrings, necklaces, brooches, bangles… I got extras. 🙂


  • Smoky Cape Retreat

    We are officially booked into the Smoky Cape Retreat for my marathon in June!

  • The Ten Best Bookstores in Sydney

    The Ten Best Bookstores in Sydney. Five of those are within walking distance of my house, and a couple more on on the way to work. I like that.

    @DomesticJules Tweetbot does that. I’m still getting used to the UI, but I like the @ autofill.


    @bezthomas I should’ve taken a photo of their whiteboard with total scones made. I recall it was up over 20,000 at that point…


    I decided to go with the steek. @witty_knitter @randomknits http://twitpic.com/4poozq


    A little worried about how much dark brown the ribbing ate up. Hoping @mrs_sockvictim has a backup ball of Tango 204 just in case!


    @thisismywww I know about it. AFP has been blogging about it for a while. Not watching the feed though. Too busy knitting!


    CBD traffic sucks today. That is all.

    Ugh. I hate these Nutkins. http://twitpic.com/4p5jyd


    Made it to Olympic Park! Just waiting on @randomknits and others. (cc @drkknits @knitabulous)


    @drkknits I don’t know where to go…


    Kylie and I brave the crowds to see giant vegetable displays. @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhZk_/


    I have secured 5 seats at the CWA Tea Room. Now for the tricky part: playing defense til @drkknits gets back with the scones! @randomknits


    CWA Devonshire Cream Tea procured! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhbmT/


    @wen1965 Yep. A lot of the stands didn’t open til 11 though.


    Stuffed with scones and lamington. By the time @randomknits @knitabulous & @gilmae get here, I will be in full-on carb coma.


    Enjoying a massage chair demo with @drkknits. Ahhhhh…


    Me and my cardigan with its sad lack of ribbons. @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/Dhmyw/


    Listening as inappropriately dressed little girls gyrate while singing Bieber. @drkknits is appalled. http://twitpic.com/4p8fw8


    I got my Cheese-on-a-Stick. All is right with the world. @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhwL4/


    Having a bear-y good time! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhylZ/


    RT @randomknits: Knitters with sticks! http://t.co/VYuSP9a


    @bhmulder I had to have the Snook explain that one to me. 🙂


    @randomknits I reached my Stick Threshold like three hours ago!


    Learned to “chunk” on my uke just now. It makes the Patsy Cline so sound much more *authentic*.


    @imdominating I have it ready to watch, thanks to @gilmae! Need to finish 1st book though. Also, step off. Dinklage is MAH BOYFRIEND.


    My stomach hurts. Hardly surprising, considering the amount of Junk-on-a-Stick I ate today.


    If a cardy only has fairisle at the hem and yoke, would you bother to steek or just go back and forth? Thoughts? @witty_knitter @randomknits


    @randomknits I do too, but there’s not that much of it. (I’m cardigan-izing Paper Dolls, if you want to look it up on Rav.) @witty_knitter
