I will totally cop to being a Politeness Enforcer. Granted, if a bus was empty I wouldn’t bother, but if it’s getting full and you have your bag on a seat? Be prepared to move it!

Digital Resources from the Knitting Reference Library WSA . The University of Southampton have digitized much of Richard Rutt’s collection of 19th century knitting books. They’re brilliant. (Link courtesy of peacay‘s Google Reader feed.)

Any choice.com.au members? Need advice on washing machines/dryers… (Will pay cookies in return!)
This is as friendly as they get. http://twitpic.com/2ixtlk
Introducing Snook to “To Kill A Mockingbird” via audiobook. I love this story. I’ll probably cry.
Who’s got a front-loading washing machine? Care to comment on its pros/cons? (cross-posted from GGR account)
Looking at separate stacking FL washer & condensing dryer. Considering LG and Fisher & Paykel. Any strong brand preferences?

Things Organized Neatly. Like crack to my organization-obsessed soul…
Every single time I went to type the word I spelled it ‘organisation’ with an S. Australia, I think you win this one!

@henrytapia @toastman Snootchie Bootchies? Who the fuck talks like that? That is fucking baby talk.
@henrytapia Heh. Take that one up with his uni buddies; I didn’t come up with that appellation. 😛

@sharre We’re going too! See you there… 🙂
@Opheli8 Oh great. Like I need to go someplace that would make me feel like more of a giant!
@tinkabel Heard it, and done it! Got it enabled yesterday. 🙂
Seconding @Opheli8. Our @anatyt will be missed, especially at lunchtime Mexican. All the best!
My new running shoes arrived! Wow, that’s fast. Three days from Amazon! http://twitpic.com/2ik4pj
@shanea Oh crap. What did they do wrong?!

Dear Family – if you get weird voicemail messages from a strange number, it’s probably me trying out the free Gmail calling thing. But I think my connection wasn’t very strong…

RunningBlog: Week 34
Things are slowly improving. I still feel sore and tired, but my pace is getting better. I went for a long run Sunday night and did 5:1 run/walk the whole way. My right foot was bothering more than usual. (I’ve ordered some new shoes to see if that helps.) My training plan has me doing 5 miles on my morning runs, but I backed off that a little. I just need to get my legs used to running on concrete again, I guess.
Aug. 22: 11.22km
Aug. 25: 7.03km
Aug. 27: 5.50km
Total this week: 23.75km (14.8mi)
Total in 2010: 628.82km (393mi)I’ve clawed back a little ground in my goal to run 1000km in 2010. I’m still about 25km behind pace though…

@miftik Fixed! Validator didn’t like the umlaut in Bjork. (I suck at character-encoding stuff.)
@acatinatree When I tried it, there’s a little account balance showing. I’ve only got 10c. You have to add more to call int’l, I think.

New (repaired) oven is being put to good use: Snook’s got a gratin goin’!
@toastman Beetroot, potatoes, and garlic-thyme-infused cream. YUM.
Running late. Attempt to shave legs with cheap razor led to bloody mess, necessitating last-minute wardrobe change. 🙁

Just completed a 5.50 km run with RunKeeper – Foot pain: 4/10. Sore from Spudds, but improved pace. No walk breaks!
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
