Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Adelaide Central Market
Grab Your Fork has a great photo-laden post about the Adelaide Central Market. When the Snook and I (and Eileen) visited Adelaide last year, this was one of the places we knew we HAD to visit. In fact, by the time we left the Snook was idly wondering what the I.T. job situation was like down there…

Stupid banks. Stressing me out.
Wasted half my night waiting for stupid guy to come buy our washer, and he never turned up. GAH.
@AusVintageGrrl I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie though. Kiki Dunst as Marion Davies? Ick, no.

Halloween
Halloween Update: I’m gonna make it official, folks. The Snook and I will be taking a year OFF from hosting our annual Halloween party. We’ve done it 7 years running and we just need a break to recharge. So save your Halloween links for us, and we’ll be back bigger and better than ever next year!

Cavolo Nero
Cavolo Nero
Does anyone have a good recipe to use up Cavolo Nero? We’ve gotten it in our food boxes a couple times now, and every time we’ve cooked it’s been, well, supremely underwhelming. In fact, I’d say we just plain don’t like it. Last night we used this gorgeous recipe which I had high hopes for… but it was still bitter and mushy and stringy and gross. We ate it, but it wasn’t great. I have a feeling we’ll be getting it again, so what the heck can we do with it?Read and add comments: Cavolo Nero3 responses

Doing some much needed spring cleaning on the filing cabinet. Anybody have a document shredder they can loan us?

@Ezzles Thanks… I’m actually thinking I might just buy one myself. I’ve got a LOT to shred. 🙂
Huzzah for @gumtreenewsau! Already two callers asking about our washing machine (and possibly dryer). Should be sold tomorrow!

Just completed a 7.67 km run with RunKeeper – 3/1 run/walk. Great pace! Lower back is aching though. :-/.
I’m helping to organise this along with JayDub of B-Hag Running. If you’re a Sydney runner, feel free to join us!

This weekend I…
- …ran my 19th Inner City Knitters Guild meeting. Has it really been that many?! The meeting was a big success, and we had six more sign-ups on the day. We’ve now got 74 members, more than 2.5 times what we had when I (and Rose and Geraldine) took over! Yeah, I’m proud of that.
- …helped the Snook install our new front-loading washer and condenser dryer. It was rather trying, considering we had to work out how to get the dryer down off the wall. The laundry room was a mess of dust and lint too.
- …greatly enjoyed eating some of the Snook’s homemade sourdough.
- …redid ALL of our filing and threw out basically an entire wastebin full of old documents. (I mean, really. Do we need the lease from the Snook’s bedsit in London from 11 years ago?)
- …did about 10 loads of laundry in the new machine, including all of my handknitted socks (on the handwash cycle!), a couple jumpers, and my Star Wars quilt. I LOVE IT.
- …went for a 7.67km run around Newtown.
- …built a website for an upcoming running event!
That was productive. I can haz sleep now?

Unofficial Sydney WWFoR Get-Together
Attention Sydney runners! JayDub came up with the great idea to host an unofficial Sydney event/get-together next month for the Worldwide Festival of Races. I helped out by throwing together a website: sydneywwfor.info. Everyone’s invited to come along! The date/time are easy to remember: 10/10/10 at 10:10:10am. We’re going to set up camp at the Ash Paddock picnic grounds near the Randwick Gates at Centennial Park. While a contingent of supporters (led by the Snook) stays behind to watch our stuff, the runners will take off to do their preferred events (5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon) around the Grand Drive. Afterwards we’ll hang around for a barbecue! Let us know if you’re going to join us…
