Holy crap! There was an anti-fascist demonstration in Chippendale a few weeks ago. How did we miss this? Humanist House is right around the corner from us! Our Knitters Guild group used to meet there!

Chippendale Planting & Gardening Day: Sat 24 October
News from Michael Mobbs:
Sydney Council has kindly given us plants to plant as part of the Food for the Future Fair on 24 October. And council has given us mulch to protect the trees we’ve planted. At 3 pm, after the bales of mulch serve their purpose as seats during the fair we’ll pick them up in a ute and take them to Rose,
Shepherd, Myrtle and Pine and Balfour to put around the trees and plants.Some plants are to replace those which have been vandalised, stolen or died in Rose, Shepherd, Myrtle and Pine. Others are to go in a new productive garden bed at the southern end of Balfour beside Cleveland. Plants include: Midginberry, citrus, lemon grass, strawberry, grevillea, hakea and others.
If you want plants to put in and maintain in front of your place please either email me or drop this note back to my place with your name, address and email so I can hold plants for you to pick up on Saturday.
There’s more information on the provided PDF. I’ll be working the knitting guild stand at the Fair most of the day, but I’m going to try to get down there if I can!

Sexy Disney Princes
Sexy Disney Princes, drawn in their underwear. Rowr! Yeah, a little disturbing, mostly because the guys in those stories are like sexless Ken dolls. I like that Prince Philip wears boxer briefs.

You should have bargained, Lucas.
Hahaha. I totally agree. The plan to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt never did make much sense. But that discussion made me laugh and laugh…

The Wonder of Wool
“The wonder of wool… or how knitting is once again helping us through the hard times.” Interesting that the UK is reporting increased sales. I have to wonder if it’s really wool though. In my experience, newbies tend to go for the cheap acrylic (especially if they’re looking for a price-conscious hobby). And whatever Ginger Spice is knitting there is mostly definitely NOT wool. I do have to laugh at the idea that Kimberley Stewart would rather stay in and knit than go out and party. Sure, riiiiiiiiiight. (Link courtesy of Alysha‘s twitter feed.)

H1N1 Vaccine
Hey Aussies, it appears that we’re all getting a free swine flu vaccine. My doctor offered it to me this morning but apparently Broadway hasn’t received their stock yet. (I did get my dip/tet/per booster this morning, as my recent whooping cough test showed that my childhood immunisation had worn off.)

Vita-Wonka
A photographer has been travelling the world, taking photos of all the oldest living things. She should be collecting it all to make Vita-Wonk!

Swish and flick!
Whoa. A magic wand that is actually a TV remote with an accelerometer? That is so cool! I could be swish-and-flicking my way through Seinfeld each night. (Link courtesy of not marth.)
