    @Opheli8 Shit. We’ve been hearing lots of rumblings from over there. Sorry to hear it.


    Congrats to @Leirith and his missus Alice on their wedding today!


    Kunaal’s final work lunch as a single man! (@ Pancakes on the Rocks) http://t.co/1YWZUszE


    Goodbye @kunaal84! Congrats on the wedding, and much love to your bride Kriti! http://t.co/pDAb6cwn


    The Crack Pie was a big success, by the way. #so #full http://t.co/YOBWB7pZ


    There are only two pieces of crack pie left. A colleague just accused me of giving him diabetes… It’s a fair cop.


    This is the Crack Pie recipe I used, for the curious (and @traveller0112): http://t.co/iJlSasaF


    There’s a special street fair on in the Rocks with KITTENS and BUNNIES and CHICKENS. Best walk to bus stop ever!


    This is my 11th Spring in Sydney, and the jacarandas are still magical. PURPLE TREES! @ Circular Quay http://t.co/8Y4p1UHZ


    @knitterjp See, right there your baby is smarter than both of my cats combined. 🙂


    @drkknits MISTER F… (sung)


    Another damn ice cream/froyo/gelato place in Newtown? Are they aiming for 1 per capita? http://t.co/5jT5r6rF


    Day of the Dead dinner with Fernando, Pete, and their missuses! (@ El Cuervo Cantina) http://t.co/HKoujttI

    @drkknits Nah, she doesn’t sing it. You’ll know when you hear it. And mind the Poppins!


    So full of Mexican food. I ate special molé enchiladas. Amazing. So full. http://t.co/YFvKN2Za

    Decision! I will be making @ColettePatterns Hazel for Melbourne Cup next week. There’s nothing like a deadline… #sewvember


    @drkknits Very nice!


    @AusVintageGrrl @redambition Ah, thanks for the offer, but I can’t make it. Important Baking happening tonight!


    Step 1 of Momofuku Crack Pie: Make a giant cookie. GIANT. http://t.co/4CBB0Ry0


    Step 2 of Momofuku Crack Pie: Giant cookie has become biscuit base! http://t.co/qewE2rH2


    @drkknits Interestingly, the recipes online don’t use that weird corn powder.


    Final step of Momofuku Crack Pie: Fill and bake. Yum. @kunaal84’s farewell tomorrow is going to be fun! http://t.co/2UWNWeLI


    Day 1 of #sewvember: used rotary cutter to make 214 white squares, destined to be hexagons. Then sewed some on quilt! http://t.co/STnQqHMi


    @pixel8ted I had already done the central flower motif, so not quite as fast as it looked. 🙂


    Got bored waiting for sausages to cook, so I had some cold Crack Pie. Holy moly.


    @knitdra @drkknits If Sewing Thanksgiving happens, I could make another. (I needed 2T of milk powder. Snook bought me 1kg. I can make lots.)


    Just watched chick on bus apply liquid liner & mascara without poking self in eye. Then driver hit brakes & makeup bag spilled EVERYWHERE.


    RT @GirlEmpowerment: Deep Conversations With My Daughter http://t.co/UQy05inc // I hope my nieces learn this too! cc @carbolicious


    @redambition She was like a Makeup Ninja up to that point. I was watching her in awe. Stupid bus driver.


    @redambition I saw that discussion. This is a big reason why I’ve avoided vintage patterns. Too depressing!


    @randomknits Very cute! I might need to borrow that pattern. 🙂


    Today’s office playlists are all dedicated to @kunaal84. First up: the “My Best Friend’s Wedding” soundtrack. 🙂

    The lesson here is to never, ever put sample copy on a wireframe that isn’t Lorem ipsum. Not even for navigation items. #wireframe #hell


    @Opheli8 Uh oh. You? No way.

    Everyone’s favourite beardy hipster is growing out his mo for Movember. Please donate so he’ll keep doing it every year and I will continue to get to pretend I’m married to Magnum PI!


  • Movember

    Movember
    As he has done in previous years, the Snook is growin’ a mo and fundraising as part of Movember. Please sponsor him so he’ll keep doing it and I can continue to feel like I’m married to Magnum PI for a few weeks every year!
