Oooooooh! The cops say that the Nando’s explosion a few weeks ago was DELIBERATE. I’m not sure I buy the story about the brother-in-law. If this were a TV movie, he’d have been the one there setting the fire to collect the insurance money…
I was reading this article about the repainting of an Aboriginal mural at a Redfern community center when I realised that I knew one of the people quoted in the story. Lyn Turnbull is (was?) a member of our inner city Guild group. Looks like she’s still fighting the good fight.
Dude. I would totally go to the Japanese girly schoolboy cafe! (Has anyone else been surfing Google all day, trying to track down an English translation of the original manga? No? Just me then? Okay.)
Wow! Tessuti is a fancy fabric store down the street from us in Sydney, and we recommend them to people all the time. I just found out they have a blog! It looks great so far…
The Snook was all excited to jump on the hat bandwagon… until he saw this photo. Good grief.
Entries for the Sydney Half-Marathon are now open… and I just signed up. I’m scared sh*tless about the time cutoff. I was only able to run once last week, which was disappointing since I’d managed to stick to three times a week since Christmas. I told myself that I’d be better off resting and fighting off this virus than weakening myself and making it worse. Anyway, I’m committed now so there’s no backing out. (Also, it’s now been five days since my last Diet Coke. The Snook joked on the weekend that my flu symptoms were actually DTs from the withdrawal.)
At 6:30 on Thursday night, while I was knitting away at the TC SnB, I suddenly felt dizzy. Like, my head started spinning. I soldiered on for the last half hour, but it didn’t go away. Maybe low blood sugar? I ate a few cookies from the office before heading home, but that didn’t help. I felt like I had vertigo. I went to bed early and slept about ten hours, but the feeling was still there the next morning. Friday afternoon I went to my doctor to get my monthly allergy shot, and he took one look at me and said, “You’re coming down with a virus.” Crap. I suppose it stands to reason; both Fiona and Bex have been sick recently, and I’ve hugged them both in the past week. “So what can I do to minimize the impact of this?” I asked. “Go to bed. Cancel everything this weekend and just rest.” YES, SIR! Consider it done…
Awww, Eileen has posted a great story about a stranger returning her lost wallet. Very heart-warming!

Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
