    Love is: a partner who will go out in the rain and buy you Zyrtec so you can stop sneezing.


    Australia Day desserts. SUGAR RUSH!! http://t.co/hCz7EJlo


    @witty_knitter Sorbetto is the hot trend of the Sydney sewing summer! We need pics. 🙂 (cc @ColettePatterns)


    @eileenDCoE Wait – where? Channel?


    Instead of dinner I went nuts on cheese platter leftovers. Oh, and I finished off the Cereal Milk Ice Cream. And now I have a CHEESE BABY.


    I wonder if a cheese baby is enough to boot me from @mrs_sockvictim’s No Babies Club?


    Cheese babies, in case you’re wondering, are totes scientifically proven. http://t.co/HAiixhd3

    My house looks like a sock monkey sweatshop today. #itshappening


    @drkknits “Monkey”? It wouldn’t be a sweatshop if I was only making one. 🙂


    @drkknits I AM NOT MAKING 12 DWARF MONKEYS. (It’s been a popular guess.)


    @drkknits And I have no idea how to make a consumptive whore monkey either.


    @randomknits @drkknits I considered that, but @the_snook pointed out that @kunaal84 would consider an Indian monkey boy racist. 🙂


    @randomknits @drkknits I’m making the ones I thought would be the most fun to make. Now I have to talk Snook into sculpting a hammer for me.


    @randomknits @drkknits Pandering to the fandom, really. Last few monkeys have been too serious. 🙂


    @randomknits @drkknits I hope I have enough polyfill for the Big Guy.


    My favourite part of the Faith body switch episodes is when SMG breaks out the Canadian accent. So best.


    @crumpet @drkknits Okay, I just got to the sexy speech with Spike. Also a high-point. (So dirty!)


    @knitdra I managed to have *just* enough! No more softies for a while tho. 🙂


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitdra Mango? Yum. Hermione votes yes.

    Wait, what? Sorry, @off5pring, somehow Instagram totally changed my tweet. Not your ice cream!

    @misswired I am a total sucker for a cheeky butcher.


    The Snook is currently talking to a landscaper. Whenever he talks to a tradesman, his voice gets very Ocker. I’ll confess – I do like it.


    @gilmae I think he just subconsciously reverts. I do it myself when I talk to my relatives from Kentucky. 🙂


    Oh yeah. I just put the ice cream churn in the freezer. I feel the need to get my @momofuku on. Somewhere, @drkknits has started to drool…


    @knitdra @drkknits Don’t worry; I’m not makin’ it just for me… 🙂


    Behold the world’s first Bogan Domer! Happy Australia Day… http://t.co/OWLb9quN


    @drkknits @knitdra Its a surprise!


    @drkknits I still have to go to Coles, and I’m not getting my boobs out at Coles. I do have limits.


    @drkknits Also, I have several more tatts. You know, if you want one too. 🙂


    @drkknits I told the Snook you said to put it on my boob. He said to make sure it’s not the one I tuck my Winnie Blues into.


    @randomknits It’s too hot for lamingtons. Wendy’s should make an ice cream version or something. …And now I’m hungry.


    @drkknits @randomknits I didn’t like desiccated coconut til I discovered lamingtons. My childhood was like a rocky wilderness.


    He calls them his “douchebro” shorts. http://t.co/4oT9fulz


    The most Australian photo I’ve ever taken. #australiaday @ Liquorland http://t.co/YoPKHtUj


    Ironic patriotism has given me a very sincere blister on my foot. There’s probably a lesson in that.


    @drkknits Rodd says it’s because I obviously wasn’t worthy. Only true blue Sheilas can pull off the flag thongs.


    @randomknits Ooh. That one looks good. Source?


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I thought the guy that invented pasteurising was Pasteur!


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I bought FRONCH cheese. My fave blue – St Agur – because Harris Farm had it on sale for slightly less redic price.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Also – no listeria. I’ll save you some.


    @randomknits Secret confession: best lamington I ever had was at a McCafe. Maybe I suck at identifying good ones.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits But I also bought the Snook a meat pie at the same time. I thought it would cancel out karmically!


    Okay. It’s time I caramelise some corn flakes. Yep. That’s what I said.


    @drkknits DUDE, I KNOW! We ate Harris Farm Brie two weeks ago! Both fine, but Rodd keeps pretending he’s coming down with it to scare me.


    RT @mpesce: To give the impression #MooresCloud is dinky-di Australian, some have suggested we cover ourselves in ‘Koala Fluff’ – http:/ …


    Giant bowl of milk steeping in caramelised corn flakes. Holy crap. http://t.co/aFAHbIaq


    It takes a full litre of milk to make one cup of Cereal Milk. But damn is it worth it!


    As someone who rolls her ankle repeatedly, I can’t even look at those replays.


    I can’t even look. I’m so worried she’s gonna roll it again.


    I strongly dislike Azarenka and her stupid Sideshow Bob boyfriend.


    Double urgh. Wish Li Na had taken an injury timeout before the final game to “fix her rib.”


    Turning that off. I don’t need to see “Redfoo” anymore in my life.
