    @gilmae There is, a bit. http://search.twitter.com/search?q=lazyweb


    Exciting client meeting with @VenessaHunt! Tried hard to follow Snook’s advice: “Be awesome.”


    Snookums and Petey are enjoying tonight’s new episode of Mythbusters. http://twitpic.com/4739×5 (cc @voicework)


    Today’s xkcd is actually relevant to what I’ve been doing at work! http://xkcd.com/869/ (@VenessaHunt @venks79)

    Easy 1st run in orthotics! Took 10min for legs/feet to relax and stop fighting the insert.


  • Weekend Update

    • Saturday morning was the Knitters Guild AGM. I was dreading it, but it ended up being okay. The new Constitution was unanimously approved (thank goodness). I also announced my resignation as Website Convenor.
    • Sunday morning we went to see The King’s Speech, and we both really enjoyed it. How did I not know Jennifer Ehle was in that movie? And Mr. Collins! It was like a total Pride & Prejudice reunion.
    • After the movie, the Snook and I went shopping and he bought a pair of sneakers. This is much more momentous than it sounds.
    • Sunday afternoon the Snook shredded up the confit duck he made last week and we ate it on toasted garlic ciabatta. It was wonderful. Later when I was running a five-miler around the neighbourhood it felt not-so-wonderful.

    Onwards and upwards…

  • Jamie’s Recipe: Coming soon…

    In case you’re wondering, this week’s Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals recipe is going to be a day late. The Snook went to three different shops yesterday but couldn’t find any bean shoots, so we had to postpone…

    All 3 grocery stores were missing a crucial ingredient, so tonight’s Jamie recipe is being postponed til tomorrow! Be patient…


    And I just gave @SallyPompom a new boat too! 🙂 @redambition @AusVintageGrrl


    @Bells_G ?? I’m not waiting for inspiration. I’m waiting for bean shoots! 🙂


    @Opheli8 How did your dresses go? We need pics!!


    Sudden realisation: I have less than 4 weeks to finish my (top secret) Easter Show projects. FRACK.

  • In-N-Out

    I’ve only ever eaten at an In-N-Out once in my life, when my sister took us there when we visited Los Angeles in 2004. Now that the Carbos are back in L.A., I’ll definitely be looking to hit it again on our next trip. And when I do, I’ll be ordering off the secret menu. Check out this survival guide/review from someone who ordered every single item off the secret – and extra-secret – menu…

    @lttlrdhn @witty_knitter @knitabulous The 1st rule of Knitters Guild is YOU DO NOT TWEET ABOUT KNITTERS GUILD.


    Anybody need a food processor? Grater is crap but it mushes and chops fine. $20 and it’s yours! http://twitpic.com/46bbrf


    Dear @toastman. This is for you: http://bit.ly/hZ0YuS (Though I suspect @kunaal84 will like it too.)
