    Grocery store epiphany: time spent debating between full fat and low fat sour cream is wasted, especially since it’s going with pork belly.

    Sydney folks: does anyone have a recommendation for a jeweller to get a (family heirloom) ring resized?


    @randomknits Thanks! Was hoping for CBD just because I’m lazy, but all suggestions welcome. 🙂


    @donandcarol I was wondering about that building. I haven’t been in there in years but remembered some jewellers. Do you know the name?


    Here’s the rip that prompted the shirt repair. Still don’t know how that happened. Just tore straight across! http://t.co/fGfcOVgO1g

    Boring yet satisfying sewing project: modified this shirt to have short sleeves! (One of long sleeves tore near cuff over a year ago.)

    Boring yet satisfying sewing project: modified this shirt to have short sleeves! It had long sleeves when I bought it nearly two years ago from Sportscraft, and it was ridiculously expensive. Then one day I was putting it on before work and the damn sleeve just ripped straight across at the cuff. ARGH. I threw it over the bed post and literally left it there for a year. I thought about removing the sleeves entirely but wisely decided to start by shortening. The Snook said it looked good, so I just folded and hemmed them. Shirt rescued!


  • Nearly there.

    Withings Activité review: a slightly smarter watch | The Verge – I’ve been a happy Fitbit enthusiast for two years now, but this is getting pretty close to my Platonic ideal of a fitness tracking watch. Come on, Fitbit. I’m tired of wearing a silicone thing on my wrist. I’d like to look like a grown-up.
