    I was Today Years Old when I learned that in a British or Australian accent, β€œShaun the Sheep” is a pun. πŸ˜³πŸ‘

    Happy Gravy Day! If you want to understand Australian Christmas, you need to know this song.


    Hello friends! In the first half of 2024, Rodd Snook and I will be renovating our house and therefore need to move out for a few months. I’m looking for advice on finding short term (3-6 months) accomodation. We need to stay relatively central in Sydney so we can get to the build site regularly. Any tips or leads? Please share any ideas!


    Not only did the Purls of Wisdom win the final @philterbrewing pub trivia of the year, we took out the top spot in the annual rankings as well! Thanks @thevoiceofneil for being such a great trivia master. πŸ†πŸ»

    Two vintage sewing machines means I’m officially a collector now, right? Fun trivia: while both machines date from the 1950’s, the blue Pinnock Sewmatic weighs more than 2x the cream Elna Supermatic! (19kg/41lb vs 8kg/17.5kb) By comparison, my fancy new Janome Skyline S5 weighs 10kg/22lb. πŸ’ͺπŸ˜… #sewingmachine #vintage #retro #sewing

    (Note to self: no more teasing @darkosubotica about his retro computers. πŸ˜‚)

    Finally seeing Shonen Knife, nearly 30 years after I first heard them. I CAN’T WAIT.

    Lucy’s videos are always great, and if you want to see what I was up to in Vegas two weeks ago, this is a good start! (You can even see a brief clip of me from 5:10.) ❀️
