    The cookies appear to have been much appreciated. My good deed is done for the day.


    @Bex_the_Femme Ever used Goldwell Soft Colour Foam? http://bit.ly/183vx1 I found a couple good reviews of it…


    Just completed a 4.04 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/Sjeix #RunKeeper


    It’s the kind of day where you can just see the next five glorious months of spring/summer unfurling ahead of you. It’s gonna be good. #fb


    @kms12 No? You’re anti-warm weather? But… pretty blue sky! Barbecues! Sunshine! Daylight Savings! My favorite part of the year by far.


    @kms12 True. My focus has turned to gardening as my knitting mojo has waned with the lengthening days…


    Sigh. @seanchadwick designed an awesome Kanye-inspired Halloween invite for us, but I fear the meme will be played out, oh, about NOW. 🙁


    @redambition As the Queen of Comfortable Shoes, I command you to leave the heels at home. 🙂


    My funky red hair allows me to feel confident in spite of tanned 20somethings on the bus WEARING NO PANTS.


    Lots more baby rocket seedlings coming up this morning! Also saw some slug trails, so I put down Blitzem pellets.

  • Martha’s Garden

    A Tour of Martha Stewart’s Garden. Wow. I wonder if edamame would grow in our garden.


  • A cupcake or two

    My friend Anthony pointed me towards A Cupcake or Two, a newish Sydney food blog. It was done by his friend Katherine. Great design and photography…


  • Everything you hear is true

    Dear Kyle Sandilands,

    This is not the account of someone going to a weight-loss camp. I hope you read it; I hope you feel bad; and I hope you get fired.

    Regards,

    @randomknits The wind is my fault. I’ve used the GHD twice this week, which makes blustery-ness inevitable.


    Awww, yeah. Peanut. Butter. Cookies. (Better have a light breakfast tomorrow, @venks79 @Opheli8 @chrisgander @VenessaHunt @movietrailerfan!)


    And you know they’re gonna be good, because I’m wearing my uber-housewife pinny: https://web-goddess.org/img/deskcam.jpg


    @twelveeyes BTW – the one I wore today was the Threadless brand tee, and it was SMALLER! Much more form fitting than the AA ones.


    @twelveeyes Yeah. The Threadless isn’t, like, obscene or anything, but it’s definitely more fitted than the AA version.


    Today’s garden update: there are very, very tiny rocket seedlings starting to poke up… #fb


    KANNNNNYE! *shaking fists* http://bit.ly/evk7i


    @Bex_the_Femme Think I may need to do fortnightly top-ups of the red. Got a recommendation for a good hair dye for self-application?


    @Bex_the_Femme It’s not a punk primary red. (We didn’t bleach first, so it went over my brown.) So more of a deep maroon.

  • The £10 Breakfast!!!

    The £10 Breakfast. Holy crap! It’s like an actual Skip’s Scramble! (God bless the British breakfast.)

    RT @kcarruthers: OMG this is so familiar – women in tech panels http://bit.ly/11ZZxM #DWC was little like that. I felt like the lone techie.


    Just completed a 4.15 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/IfHGT #RunKeeper


    Yay, our @threadless tees have arrived! Perfect fit, very cute, & great price. http://twitpic.com/hsr8m


    @randomknits We paid extra for the Express International. (One of my co-workers didn’t want to do laundry.)


    @randomknits Ours was “UPS Expedited” with estimate of 3-5 business days.


    @twelveeyes Nah. I’m about a 40″ bust, and that put me smack in XL: http://bit.ly/pX5I2. It’s a good fit. Not too tight, not too loose.
