Landscaping update: cement truck! By the end of the day, we’ll have garden stairs again.
How long would I have to move back to the US to establish residency in a state where my vote would actually matter? 😕

With only a slight addition, my shirt from the last election still applies. Please vote! #harriswalz2024 🌊
Anyone interested in a pair of tickets for Me First & The Gimme Gimmes in Sydney tomorrow night? I deliberately bought seated tickets so I wouldn’t have to stand all night, but they’ve moved the show to the Metro which is *only* standing. (It’s particularly galling that those of us who paid extra for seats now get “early access”… so we can stand even longer. WTF.)

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Taki! ❤️

My first time at an AWS event as a civilian! This feels weird. 😂 #observabilityday
New (reclaimed) knitting project! I finished the Sugar Maple sweater (last photo) two years ago but rarely wore it. The style just didn’t suit me. So a couple weeks ago I unraveled the whole thing, winding it into a cake as I went. Then I used my swift to turn the ball into a hank that I then washed and dried to remove some of the kinks. I’ve now rewound into a cake and I’m knitting another Easy Eyelet Yoke Lite, a style that I know I will wear. The yarn is @hobbii_yarn Twister, a great choice for warm places like Sydney! 🧶 #knitting
Thank you again to everyone who donated to dementia charities in October! Collectively we raised more than $2500 AUD, most of which went to Dementia Australia (as well as a few similar groups around the world). I really, really appreciate it. 🩷 The S3 Bucket Hat raffle has taken place using the Wheel of Destiny, and all 9 winners have been notified via email or FB Messenger. I’m sorry if your name didn’t come up! Perhaps I’ll have to think of another fun project to give away next year…

Kicked off a special project today with my friends at @morrisandsons. Spent the afternoon learning from the cushion master, Ruth Morris, and using the industrial machine to make piping. Looking forward to the next lesson! ❤️
Kudos to my friend Jenna Price on her excellent article! I’m very much in the “Considered it because of the IRS but it’s too expensive and too much of a hassle” camp.
