    @the_rovingeye No idea about the party; a friend on FB just mentioned she was going to one. And a Google employee told me about the day.


    @witty_knitter @SandraHW Hooray!!


    @drkknits Yay! Are there any beds that are by themselves in a soundproof room? Because save that one for Ms Cranky Sleeper (aka ME).


    My first Agile team retrospective! #bravenewworld


    #YDTestYes – my work ultra book is pretty schmick!


    @drkknits @knitterjp We were in a meeting! Getting ready to head out shortly. (Where is @Yarna_?)


    @Yarna_ @drkknits @knitterjp Bathroom and then I’m coming down…


    @knitdra That’s about as much as I’ve done.


    @randomknits PHEW!


    @brown_note I did! Really loving it so far. 🙂


  • Australian bushman claims to have footage of legendary night parrot

    Australian bushman claims to have footage of legendary night parrot – Brilliant! Dude spent FIFTEEN YEARS trying to find this parrot! Australian ecology is nuts.

  • Quilts

    Hey Mom! Remember that quilt exhibition I told you about in Brisbane? My friend Lyn recently visited it and she blogged about it here with some nice photographs.

  • 14 Terrifyingly Awesome New State-Fair Foods for 2013 — Grub Street New York

    14 Terrifyingly Awesome New State-Fair Foods for 2013 — Grub Street New York – Nome of these seem that OUT THERE to me. Heck, that meatloaf on a stick looks really good! I’d eat that!

    I bought onesie pyjamas. For me. With sentient xylophones. #gianthipsterbaby http://t.co/StH5X7cESv


    @surrenderdotty Awww. I think being WHIMSICAL & WARM shows lots of self respect! (I’m not wearing the thing out of the house, I assure you.)


    @surrenderdotty A) yes. And B) it can’t be any worse than my usual trackies and sweatshirt. 🙂


    @surrenderdotty I think you have highly overrated the extent to which “sexiness” is a goal in our household.


    Ooh, I nearly forgot! Happy birthday, @mrs_sockvictim!!


    @lemon_lime @drkknits RUN AWAY! YOU’VE UNLEASHED THE KRAKEN!


    @lemon_lime @drkknits Hey, I like him. He’s a nerd. I respect that. I also get that some people don’t like him. That’s okay.


    @lemon_lime @drkknits My nephew Kurt met him in a bookstore when he was PM and Kevin was very nice to him, FWIW.


    The Snook said: “It’s not as sexy as I expected.” #understatementoftheyear http://t.co/8gpkNi4q7N


    @drkknits I know. I thought that was rather precious.


    Patriotic whoopie pies! Thank you #silpat and #kitchenaid ! http://t.co/kNyxPtF4Vb


    @steven_noble I’m told that “block their cookies” is an effective workaround.


    RT @writingmiranda: You can’t afford me knitting for you. You’ll have to make me love you. #knittertruth


    @witty_knitter @SandraHW Yikes. I’m sure she’ll be okay. Thinking of you both.


    I think I’m packed for the weekend away. Two knitting projects, some patchwork, whoopie pies, toothbrush, wine, and MAH ONESIE. #beprepared


    Woohoo! Giant deer art finally arrived from @TempleWebster! I think we’ll probably hang it off-center to the right? http://t.co/YtcEYF2bMI


    @witty_knitter @surrenderdotty You didn’t see him taking me to task over it yesterday? 🙂


    I saw on FB last night someone going to a “Onesie Party” in Newtown. And Google Sydney are having Onesie Day soon, apparently. #influencer


    But again, I reiterate: I will not be wearing a onesie out of doors. My onesie is too magnificent for the wider world.

    Should Turnbull replace Abbott? http://t.co/zKRiIobhht #YDYes #YouDecide9


    I’ve finally made it onto an Agile team, and I’m loving it. Great to finally put stuff I’ve read from @brown_note & @AgileRenee into place!


    @randomknits By my second week at TC, I’d bought a pair of ugly-ass (but very supportive) Kumfs for that reason.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes CRUMBLE CRUMBLE! And I haven’t had rhubarb in ages, so I would like that. IT’S PINK!


    @chewxy @brown_note @AgileRenee Yup. I actually had a whole discussion today about ways of measuring velocity. I AM NOW THAT PERSON. 🙂


    @neil_killick @AgileRenee @chewxy @brown_note We don’t do estimates or planning poker. 🙂


    @AgileRenee It appears my predecessor has been counting “tasks”.


    @eobeara So wait – did I miss the meet up? Are you still around? We could catch up in the city tomorrow!


    @drkknits I’ve already decided to make my whoopie pies “patriotic” in honour of US Independence Day. Bring on the food colouring!


    @timparsons Thanks! Sadly, I barely update it anymore these days! It’s mostly just RSS and Instagram glued together.

    Day 2 of new job: Still great! Got to do a deploy to prod (by clicking a literal BIG RED BUTTON). So busy I barely saw @knitterjp though!
