    @witty_knitter Don’t need menopause for amenorrhoea. 🙂 But I agree, it’s awesome.


    @twelveeyes @redambition I still think that even if there are seats, taking a 4-month-old to fancy restaurant is very rude to other diners.


    @redambition @twelveeyes @zephyrama Just don’t understand why they take a kid somewhere he’s too young to appreciate.


    @redambition @twelveeyes @zephyrama …Says the tourist who once had to endure a screaming infant while viewing the Book of Kells in Dublin.


    @AusVintageGrrl @redambition @twelveeyes @zephyrama Just wondering if there’s a line somewhere. Do you think kids are ever inappropriate?


    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama Totally understand that there are good/bad kids. But sometimes I appreciate a grownups-only event, you know?


    I honestly never realised that so many people were fine taking a child basically anywhere. I’m a little surprised. I don’t think I would.


    @drkknits @randomknits Snook argues that it depends whether it’s okay to discriminate against kids, whether they have same human rights.


    @drkknits @randomknits Of course, his opinion is that kids are inappropriate anywhere dog is inappropriate, which is totally non-PC. 🙂


    @drkknits @randomknits Interestingly, that is exact same argument he was making.


    Playing “Map of Tasmania” in the office. Nobody seems to have noticed…


    @mudsurfer HAHAHAHAHAHA…. It’s a song. I didn’t realise it could be read otherwise. 🙂


    Start of the Vivid Festival! Sydney Harbour in stunning lights. @ Circular Quay http://t.co/o5OUGWfb


    @that_alison This hipster is slightly jealous. Nice friends!


    Finished 50 Shades of Grey. Hm. Pretty much exactly what I expected. Just read that Skarsgard may star in the movie tho. Ahem. (cc@drkknits)


    @drkknits Not sure. It’s porny all right, but never as kinky as you think it’ll get. I think its popularity is interesting though.


    @drkknits I’m interested in what my favourite ivory tower feminist academic has to say about it. 🙂


    @randomknits Hm. Actually, they probably can. The writing is explicit, but most of the scenarios aren’t that exotic. Rated R, definitely.


    @Illdrinn I’ll join you in the queue!


    @drkknits Well, this is interesting. It actually started as a Twilight fanfic, and you can tell. But no vampires. Ana > Bella, I’d say.


    @drkknits Though she’s a Bella clone at first. Not sure I’ll read all 3. It’s essentially just a romance novel. My brain might fall out.

    All up, we were 6 weeks and 2 days without a working kitchen. Original HN salesman said it would be “three weeks.” *sigh*


    @Alacaeriel Nice! Damn, that’s so much faster than ours. I’m impressed…


    @Alacaeriel Washing up in bathroom. Paleo diet no problem; meat & veg easy to cook w/ hot plate and microwave!


    Well, shit. Only big burner on induction cooktop works. Sparky has wired it up wrong. But @dancingman got it right before!


    @dancingman !! That would be fantastic. And if it’s the electrician’s stuff-up, we can bill him for you. Happy to cook you dinner too!!


    @dancingman You free at all on the weekend? We can work around your schedule…


    Sorry coworkers – no cookies tomorrow. Spent the whole night moving fridge, cleaning, and unpacking kitchen. Monday I promise!


    @knitness Because mine would be better!! 🙂


    @chewxy Yeah, it’s a thing I do. Want to thank them for being flexible during the renovation. 🙂


    Interesting. This morning all induction burners are back to working. Can’t reproduce failure. Maybe overheating? It’s a mystery.


    RT @mpesce: .@Jason asks “What Now… Yahoo?” http://t.co/TN0qdr4J // cc @the_snook


    Taking a four-month old to a hatted restaurant and then bitching? No sympathy from me. Get a babysitter. You are the problem.


    @redambition On the Herald. Claiming restaurant told them to leave. Only seats left were at the bar! What idiots.

    Sorry coworkers – no cookies tomorrow. Spent the whole night moving fridge, cleaning, and unpacking kitchen. Also, the electrician miswired our cooktop and it stressed me out. Monday I promise!
