@gusseting Hurry up your moseying! The adoring public awaits your arrival. 🙂
Happy 10th anniversary to the Snook. Getting to spend a decade with your best friend is a wonderful thing. http://twitpic.com/1ccj6a
Snookums is playing with his new espresso machine. Very strange and scary sounds are coming from the kitchen…
Just completed a 5.42 km run with RunKeeper
Oh man. I wish Google Maps really did get OCCA. That would be fun for our trip to Canberra. 🙂
It was 10 years ago today that I found out my work visa to stay in London had been approved. It was 10 years ago today that I went out and celebrated with my co-workers at a succession of dodgy pubs and clubs in Hammersmith and Fulham. It was 10 years ago today that I finally kissed the cute boy in the office that I liked.
How lucky that he also turned out to be my best friend! Happy first decade, Snookums. May we have many more together.
The photo was taken on my iPhone with this app. I am on an iPhone photo app bender here lately.
This week saw my longest run yet: a scheduled 16km (10 mile) run on Sunday. I headed to Centennial Park as usual and managed 2.5 laps around. I did 2:1 run/walk ratio the whole way, and it was fantastic. I felt much better than I did the previous week (where I did 3:1 for 13km). My legs didn’t cramp and my overall average was actually faster! I was having some stomach pain though, and somehow I managed to lose one of my water belt bottles. Still, I got it done. This week is a cutback week, which I’ve been looking forward to.
Mar. 27: 5.34km
Mar. 28: 16.72km
Mar. 31: 5.35km
Total this week: 27.41km (17mi)
Total in 2010: 264.32km (165mi)
We are officially one-quarter of the way through the year, which means I should be at 250km to meet my 1000km goal. Looks like I’m about 14km ahead of pace. Woooo!
How much do I LOVE that one of the commemorative health reform T-shirt options on Barack Obama’s website is “Health Reform is a BFD”? And how much do I want one? Answer: SO DAMN MUCH.
Jimbo has posted a great overview of marathon training programs for beginners. I knew Higdon and Galloway, but the other two were new to me. The Furman FIRST program looks very interesting to me. Very interesting. I’ve bookmarked it. We’ll see…

Kristine Howard added a new photo.
@grabyourfork Thanks for that. Now I am obsessed with the idea of having four ovens. FOUR OVENS!
@gusseting Hm. I really like Teva’s designs. It may be enough to finally get me aboard the lace train!
Like @witty_knitter, I’m looking forward to the Easter Show Arts Preview tonight. Trying hard not to get my hopes up. 🙂 #RASartspreview
@danivv Thanks for that! Hadn’t heard of her. I’ve actually had this pattern queued for years: http://bit.ly/d7SDfg. Even bought the chair!
Wow, it’s not often I get smirked at as a female geek and a knitter in the space of the same 5 minutes. Bah.
Not to be crude, but I can’t be the only one that sees, uh, other things in some of these polymer beads, right? http://bit.ly/bqKLHs
Knitters: please feel free to spoil me for #RASartspreview. I need to be prepared. (Probably won’t get there til after 7.)
@mrs_sockvictim Woohoo! Congrats and well done. 🙂
Still on the train. No word from #RASartspreview. Appears I am destined to remain unappreciated in my own time.
The pudding’s expression mimics my own. No prizes for me this year. http://twitpic.com/1bx7ky
@Ascasewwen A goddamn clown. And second place was Mrs Claus. *puke*
If you can’t win a ribbon, you can still toast the naked marquetry. http://twitpic.com/1bxinj
I think @miss_reecie and @mrs_sockvictim tied for “Worst Item Display”, sadly enough.
Have just done a massive Rav post with photos of stuff from @randomknits @mrs_sockvictim @Roceal @frillseekerjen @Kat13v etc…
And here is the excellent group photo of 23 Ravelers, courtesy of Mr. Snook: http://bit.ly/axL75E
@Ezzles Plenty of fishing line. Also – by @SallyPompom’s count – 17% less entries than last year. Total suckage.
@gusseting They never give feedback. They suck. (I’m trying to work out a subtle way of putting a middle finger on next year’s entry.)
@bellsknits Yay! Thank you so much – again! Looking forward to exploring Canberra. 🙂
@randomknits @KTunravels I was gonna say her too, actually. Good call.
