    At an actual business meeting. Involving wine. (@ Rag and Famish Hotel) http://t.co/1xcKqwPR

    @janiematts Same thing happened this time, except it was a red-headed Englishman bearing red wine. Oof.

    @laimelde Did they pop the quick releases? Just to be a jerk? Back wheel is way harder to remove than front wheel, right?

    Pre-meeting caffeination. (@ The Treehouse) http://t.co/CFwO3WRP

    She may have underwhelmed as Tonks, but as Osha, that actress is KILLING IT. Total BAMF.

  • Paris cyclists given right to break traffic laws

    “Paris cyclists given right to break traffic laws”. Hey, that’s brilliant. Just this morning I stopped at a red light on Ultimo Road waiting to turn left onto Darling Drive. And there was no traffic coming from the other direction and no pedestrians around. I could’ve gone for it. But instead I waited for the green, thinking that I’d rather be the kind of cyclist that car drivers see and go, “Huh. There’s one following the rules!”

    But it did cost me like a minute of sitting there.

  • Big Price for Single Bed

    “Big Price for Single Bed”
    Woo, neat! I got quoted in the Daily Telegraph on the weekend. Here’s a scan. Of course, it’s me talking happily about the ridiculous price my neighbour’s apartment sold for. I am so Sydney.

    Somewhat annoyed at getting spam in the post last night from a company that scraped our address from the @GarageSaleTrail website.

    @GarageSaleTrail Sure thing. I left it at home today, but it was some ebay type site where they want you to list things that didn’t sell.

    @GarageSaleTrail I know it was scraped as there was no name on envelope, just address. Also referred to our recent garage sale!

    @GarageSaleTrail Sure, will send it when I get home tonight and dig out the letter.

    MOTHER–. Another delay in the kitchen benchtop. Where’s Kevin McCloud so he can patronise me and make me feel worse?

    @GarageSaleTrail Here it is. The company that scraped our address appears to be @ziilch. http://t.co/jgJ9ttvq

    @jannism I’m sorry to hear it. My condolences. 🙁

    @andrewvalder I hope I wasn’t impugning @garagesaletrail! I think it’s such a great initiative. Just annoyed to see somebody piggybacking!

    Squinting on a cloudy day in my new Meringue skirt! @ Dawes Point http://t.co/LZSPtZmp

    @pransellknit One of my FB friends said it looked like an AWNING, and now that’s all I can see. *sigh*

    I can’t believe @the_snook is actually arguing in favour of the word “usedn’t”. I have never heard it used before, and I don’t like it.

    @drkknits It appears to be quite archaic and Pommy. One of those old man expressions @the_snook uses. http://t.co/6wAm5hJH

    @Yarna_ @knitterjp @drkknits @the_snook He’s the reason people think my Aus vocab is weird. Because I copy his weird archaic phrases!

    @redambition Didja see? It’s on FB too. 🙂

    @twelveeyes Wait, what? Tahiti! Holy crap, that’s awesome! Congrats.

    @Gin_ev_ra It looks weird written and it sounds weird pronounced. So both aspects. Totally not used in North America!

    @merrinmez Oh, I know what it means. I just think it’s archaic and weird. And I say that as a (mostly) prescriptivist.

    @Gin_ev_ra I’d just say “I didn’t [whatever]” rather than “I did not use to [whatever]” or “I used not to [whatever]”. American brevity. 🙂

    What is all this Melbourne business? My Masterchef feels off-kilter.
