    Woot! Taking tire off is way easier than I thought. (Also, somehow I’m covered in way more grease than everybody else.) http://t.co/efRrG630


    Here’s @the_snook being all manly with the bike maintenance. http://t.co/LfNfYJwU


    Took my friend @eileenDCoE and two of her Melbourne mates to @DoTheDip last night. They loved it! Jug of Watermelon Fizz was a hit.


    RT @andrewsayer: Watch “Kevin Rudd is a Happy Little Vegemite” on YouTube http://t.co/KqyEgUqk


    Eating my first ever kipper for breakfast. Hm. I’m not sure I like this. (It was @the_snook’s idea.)


    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim NO WAY. How cool! But $50 for a show at the Manning Bar? WTF. Totally hipster to overpay, I guess.


    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Also, yest I found a sweet outdoor table/chair set. We were looking at it when Rodd said: “It needs a bird on it.”

    The attitude of some Knitters Guild members reminds me of SNL’s Old Glory Insurance. Beware the Internet! And robots. http://t.co/vQ2Im0KJ


    @drkknits I’ve been tweeting with you all damn day! Give me some credit! ๐Ÿ˜›


    It’s Friday and it’s summer, and my hair is finally long enough to plait. Good day. http://t.co/fCK0hsey #pose @Gap


    Am I wrong, or does @pose force users clicking FB links on mobile to install the app to see my photos? That sucks!


    @Kat13v @pose Not just mobile. On desktop too, apparently. My friend is disappointed, as am I.


    @drkknits @Kat13v @pose It used to link to a web view (like Instagram). I don’t like walled gardens. Going to cancel my account, I think.


    @zephyrama Where? I love these. It’s like Swedish crime fiction to me.


    @imdominating Nice one! Also, was it Elton John?


    Had my first beers in a long time tonight to celebrate one month at the new job. They tasted GREAT.


    Spotted on Broadway tonight. #hipsters http://t.co/802PToqn


    So full of tapas and beer and chorizo and patatas and prawns and calamari and mushrooms… Carb coma impending. Bliss.


    @mrs_sockvictim Nope, not yet. And I just woke up. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Bicycle maintenance course. Time to learn to change a tire! (@ Sydney Park C.A.R.E.S. Facility) [pic]: http://t.co/7CLRO1vE


    @traveller0112 Awww, thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy – Magazine – The Atlantic

    How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy – Magazine – The Atlantic – HOLY CRAP. I was convinced reading this that both Snook and I were infected with Toxoplasmosis and it was affecting our behaviour. I mean, men wear rumpled clothes, avoid risk, and get suspicious? Women dress nicer, court risk, and get extroverted? That’s us over the past few years to a T.

    Then I got to the end where they mention that indoor cats don’t get the parasite, only outdoor cats. So we don’t have it after all. Our weirdness is fully our own.

    Knitters: Am I crazy, or does Daniel Radcliffe’s cool fairisle cardigan look like the motif was knitted inside out?? http://t.co/dgOKStVg


    @witty_knitter @betsybookworm I like it too! I’ve always liked look of neat stranding, just never seen it used as a design feature before!


    @gusseting Apparently it’s a Nancy Bush thing. @miss_reecie did an actual course with her on it!


    Looking forward to catching up with @eileenDCoE this weekend when she visits Sydney!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits So my plan to have all the Camp teachers be ROBOTS is out then, huh?


    @drkknits Well, Android does tend to get excessively “manly” in its advertising tone. If its not pink, probably ain’t aimed at us girls.


    And that, my friends, was a TEN HOUR WORKDAY. Phew. I don’t think I’ve worked this hard in a long time. My brain is tired!


    @gilmae Pretty much. Trying hard to impress everybody. Probably going to burn myself out!


    @gilmae Well, today was meeting a deadline. Special case. I think I can ease up a bit now, thank goodness…


    @Linda_Moore I’ll find a link for you…


    @Linda_Moore Had to grab the URL off Facebook directly… http://t.co/CXNhJ4f3
