    Setting up our new washer and dryer. Yay!


    @knitterjp @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Was sorry to miss it! And the bloody kids never showed up in the end! πŸ™


    @mrs_sockvictim Yeah, we waited til 2:20 and then packed up. It was a nice time with Kerry and Bernadette though!


    Hahahaha… New frontloader (with see-thru door) is KITTY CINEMA. Dr. Amy is utterly entranced.

    Who wants homemade sourdough? http://twitpic.com/2nbg1b


    And now the finished bread. YUMMY. http://twitpic.com/2nbkgk http://twitpic.com/2nbkll


    @zephyrama This is actually his 3rd attempt. Previous 2 were pretty deflated. Starter is going good now! I’ll put his comments on Rav. πŸ™‚


    @Shannen546 Yes, you’re spamming everyone.


    New frontloader door is *squeaking* during wash. Just from being new? No water is leaking or anything. Just squeaking noises.

  • Induction on Junior Masterchef

    Oh, neat! The kids on Junior Masterchef will be cooking on induction stoves because they’re less likely to get burned on them. May be worth watching an episode if you’re thinking of getting one.

    @squozen I’m trying out Wordsmith. We’ll see.


    I must be feeling better. I’m dancing in my desk chair. Hooray for paracetamol and M&Ms!


    @venks79 Hooray! Have the BEST time; you deserve it. πŸ™‚


    Hot Whisky as prepared by Irishman is ALWAYS the answer. I don’t feel sick; I feel bulletproof. http://twitpic.com/2mylm1


    @twelveeyes I got that too! Definitely a higher ratio of would-wears than usual..


    New washer and dryer are here! Anybody want to buy the old ones?


    @dancingman Yeah? You can have it for free, if you want! We still owe you. πŸ™‚ I’ll email you photos/details.


    @SallyPompom Hooray! It’ll be great to see you. (There’s a lift! Be sure to use it. )

    An authentic Hot Whisky as prepared by an Irishman. He says it will cure me.



  • RunningBlog: Week 36

    We’re officially in the taper, folks! Which is a good thing, because I’ve caught a cold. I did a long run of 14.4km on Monday, which is the longest I’m going to manage before the Half-Marathon next weekend. I did the whole thing at 5:1 run/walk intervals, and I easily kept under the 7:45/km I need to average for the race. I’m not going to set any speed records, but I feel reasonably confident in my ability to finish the thing without getting pulled off the course. I had a massage Monday night and asked the masseuse to focus on my lower back and hips, which helped with some of the pain I was having. On Wednesday I went out for a nice easy run around the neighbourhood where I had very little issue with my foot, back or hips. That was good! But four hours later I was sniffling, which was bad. It always happens right before a race! I’m taking it easy for a few days, and I’ve skipped today’s planned run. So far everything is above-the-neck (mostly sinus-related), so I’m hoping I can keep it from moving into my lungs. Lots of liquids and sleep and decongestant for me!

    Sept. 6: 14.4km
    Sept. 8: 5.48km
    Total this week: 19.88km (12.4mi)
    Total in 2010: 674.2km (421.4mi)

    I should be at 692km to meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, so I’m still about 18km behind pace.


  • SWINTON

    SWINTON looks great, but I loved the random digression about Little Women in the caption. That book was HUGELY INFLUENTIAL in my life too, and I also have never forgiven Jo for not marrying Laurie. (And don’t even get me started on Amy…)


  • The Vampire Diaries

    I feel like the universe may want me to watch The Vampire Diaries. I am unsure whether to comply.

    As @kunaal84 would say, everything always works out for the best. Today is going better than expected. Hangin’ in there…


    More office fun with novelty specs… http://twitpic.com/2mn3pt


    And just to top it all off, I forgot my keys. In the rain. With a nasty cold. Here’s hoping the Snook’s bus is quick. πŸ™


    I’m cold. Guess that’ll learn me.

    Ooh, Game Center does nicknames too. I’m webgoddess.


    @squozen They’re all paid games! And none of the ones that I’ve already got. πŸ™
