    Wondering if @districtdining has any tables free tonight…


    @tiaramerchgirl Hey, you’re on the SMH site! http://bit.ly/lHVcPS


    @chewxy She’s a fellow MeFite. Met up with her and a few others for drinks a few months ago when she was in Sydney…


    @chewxy Huh. Did she kill her Twitter account? It’s coming up as not found.


    Slight mixup with reservation, but we’re in! (@ District Dining) http://4sq.com/muQv6T

    @carbolicious Gorgeous! So the frosting is, like, in relief? That’s beautiful. Rodd wants to know if there’s a groom’s cake.

    Nice easy 3:1 lunchtime run.

  • RunningBlog: Week 19

    This was a fairly intense week! Sunday I had the Mother’s Day Classic, where the Snook and I actually extended the distance to about 12K. Monday I went to an after-work session at Spudds. Tuesday I did a morning run of about 6K, and I froze my butt off! (Winter is coming.) Wednesday was another Spudds session, this time at lunch. Thursday was a much needed rest day! Then I did another 5K run today at lunchtime.

    May 8: 11.8km
    May 10: 6.01km
    May 13: 5.14km
    Total this week: 22.96km (14.4mi)
    Total in 2011: 467.02km (291.9mi)

    In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 402km. Yep, still heaps of cushion.

    Of course, that last five months of training have all led up to this Sunday. I will be running a full marathon as a training run. That’s 42.2km. That’s 26.2mi. Then I’ll have four weeks of taper before my actual race. This is it. I can do it.

    And major shout-outs to the Slow Runners Club Coaching Team. The encouragement has been flowing on our Facebook page!

    @witty_knitter @thesiswhisperer Wait, you’re ahead of me! I only scored 27, I think? You got 39. Higher numbers are better!


    @witty_knitter @thesiswhisperer It’s wank. Most social media metrics are. πŸ™‚ (And “maven”? Hahahahahaha…)

    Best thing about a fathers’ rights protest is the “all women are lying bitches” convos I get to hear afterwards. Oh wait, that’s the worst.


    @wheelyweb Was that meant to be sarcastic? It’s just an observation about the misogynistic rhetoric that I’ve actually heard/read today.


    @wheelyweb I have all sympathy with frustrations with gov offices, unfair laws. But some use it as excuse to violently vent at all women.

    Doejibulgogi (Spicy Stir-Fried Pork) with cucumber pickle. Made all of it from scratch tonight with the Snook. SO GOOD! Recipe here: http://bit.ly/98A5QW



  • Brrr.

    It’s cold. No snow in Sydney, of course, but our house feels very chilly. (We don’t have central heating.) I put another blanket on the bed last night, much to the warm-blooded Snook’s chagrin!


  • The Dude’s Cardigan

    Now that I’ve got the Snook successfully wearing a knitted cardigan in public, it’s time to take it up a notch: The Dude’s Cardigan. We’d have to stock up on White Russian ingredients…


  • The basics

    I wore my Road to Golden today, and it prompted a girl in my office to comment, “I need to get back to knitting. I mean, I know all the basics – except how to purl – but I used to knit and knit…”
