  • Sydney parkrun

    Awesome, just discovered that Sydney parkrun is now open for registration! This is a weekly timed 5K at Sydney Park in St. Peters. It’s free to join and run. I met the organisers last year and they’re pretty cool. I’m looking forward to participating!

  • Sydney Cycle Chic

    Confession: one of my goals for 2012 is to get featured on Sydney Cycle Chic. I know; I’m tragic.

    @randomknits Nope. Nothing helpful, other than to call main @auspost phone number again.


    @bron2042 WHOA. I was just there too! Pleased with speed of my replacement license as well.


    Tips for taking a top drivers license photo: Don’t shower. Lose a pint of blood. Walk 6 blocks on a humid day. #zombiekris #fml


    @drkknits Ahem. I think Zaheer Khan may replace Sharma as my Indian team boyfriend.


    It’s @flavourcrusader, making’ tortillas at my house! @ Chippendale http://t.co/ur6usSHM


    Mexican feast with @FlavourCrusader! Homemade tortillas are TOPS. @ Chippendale http://t.co/1BFOFQLH


    @Kat13v DAMN YOU AND YOUR GOOD VEINS! 🙂 Well, at least somebody can do it.


    Twitter! Trying on new specs? Which do you like?? http://t.co/kY0FZbkN http://t.co/Y7TErE0z


    Twitter has spoken! Thanks for comments. I’m ordering the Cat’s Eye (first pair). Such a hipster folly. 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl You play the ukulele and wear vintage. You, my friend, are a hipster. 😛


    Blood donated, new license procured, tacos eaten (thanks @FlavourCrusader!), new specs ordered. Productive day. And now for KNITTING.


    @misswired Useless. Very useless. After much confusion, they just told me to call the same phone # I rang a week ago.


    @knitness Hm, no idea! I’m at home. @knitterjp? @knitdra?


    Drinking a toast to @toastman to celebrate the good news… http://t.co/Ch2smJYH


    I was going to run this morning, but I feel quite dehydrated. Result of losing blood yesterday? Going to rehydrate and wait a bit, I think.


    I bet @mrs_sockvictim also has some good stories about adult mishaps on ABC children’s programming… 🙂 http://t.co/BZBOUxAS

    Replacement license procured in under 30min. Probably because I wore my Red Cross sticker.

    @drkknits HIPSTER ALERT.


    SKY PHOENIX? Nobody told me yumcha was on offer… *grumble*


    @snarkyboojum According to my source, Y!7 does UI testing on new products before it goes to dev. I was surprised and impressed to hear that.


    Pounding water before today’s Red Cross visit. No plasma this time, just whole blood so hopefully no “crappy veins” issues. *cross fingers*


    RT @jamezpolley: Thist article in the SMH bothers me. Not because it’s wrong, but because it’s so obvious it shouldn’t need to be said h …


    My Red Cross permanent record now states that my veins are officially “unsuitable” for plasma donations. Luckily they need whole blood too!


    Woohoo! Finally managed successful blood donation. Enjoying a well-earned milkshake and pretzels. 🙂


    Which is worse: literal bloodletting or figurative? Going to the RTA to find out.

    Two wickets down… and here comes Sachin!


    @auspost You could ask Strawberry Hills branch if they’ve found my drivers license which they lost!


    @auspost You’ve misunderstood. It wasn’t posted. I handed over my license as ID when collecting a parcel; they lost it 30 seconds later.


    @auspost I called the main number last week and left my mobile number with someone. Haven’t heard anything back yet.


    @auspost Dec 23rd, around 5pm.


    @auspost I have no phone number to ring them. Your website doesn’t give contact details for individual outlets.


    I’m booked in! Girl Geeks Meetup: Monday 16th January 2012 – http://t.co/zOHAYl6o


    @stufromoz We got some from Three Beans at Broadway yesterday. Paid a fair bit for them though…


    @misswired Poo! Just discovered the scanner you so generously gave us doesn’t work with Mac or Linux AT ALL. Would you like it back?


    RT @chaoticjupiter: Still looking to interview … guerrilla knitters about their experiences. Email me … if interested. // Oh god, no.


    @misswired No worries. We could probably hack it, but I’ll just eat the $100 and buy a new one to save hassle. Thank you anyway!


    Time for TINTIN!! (@ eVent Cinemas w/ 4 others) [pic]: http://t.co/0ZRTCOMw


    We saw TINTIN tonight and it was fantastic. Everything the 4th Indiana Jones movie should have been. Also, I want a little white dog now.


    @stufromoz For ages they’ve been planning to put trees down the middle to make a leafy avenue. Maybe that’s it?
