    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama @redambition Oooh! Oooh! Is the secret out yet? 🙂


    @zephyrama @ausvintagegrrl Don’t have to. Twitter conveniently shows you the whole conversation. 🙂

    I came all the way to country Victoria… to find bloody knit graffiti.


    Beautiful afternoon. Time for a beer.


    Nice slow 3:2 run on country dirt roads. Just what I needed!

    @knitabulous Now that I am planning what to pack, I am very glad I nominated to check a bag after all!


    @toastman @henrytapia We had Stinkor! We had Stinkor! He RULED.


    @mpesce Strange. Ours didn’t flicker?


    I’m always running late. Eating breakfast and sucking down coffee. Nearly ready to head off on a fun weekend away with friends!!


    @knitterjp @knitabulous @drkknits @Yarna_ DID I MENTION I BAKED COOKIES LAST NIGHT? Hell yeah.


    @sixandahalfst Unfortunately I double-booked with a trip to Victoria, so no. 🙁 I gave my number to a friend. Rodd’s still running though.


    @witty_knitter @knitterjp @knitabulous @knitdra Claytons? I’m missing a reference there. 🙂 Mini knitting retreat, sort of!


    In the taxi to the airport. This is usually when disaster strikes. Now, what did I forget?


    @rajsingh2505 Have a great housewarming Raj! Sorry to miss it. 🙂


    @AnnaJMcDougall Everything but the passport, but I’m only flying domestic. Phew. 🙂


    @stufromoz @annajmcdougall Darling, I’m very big on the Internet. 😛 (I don’t think I’ve met Anna in person, actually.)


    Made it through security, after some scrutiny of knitting needles. Where is everybody?


    @KnitNTel Heh. Who needs tickets anymore? I’d already checked in on the Internet yesterday. 🙂


    30 minutes early! Go me. (@ Gate 35 (T2 Multi-User Domestic)) http://t.co/tw9QwPYz


    @knitterjp @knitabulous @drkknits @yarna_ My flight’s been pushed back 10 minutes (so far)! You guys all livin it up in the Qantas lounge?


    @Yarna_ @knitterjp @knitabulous @drkknits @knitdra Virgin delay up to 15minutes. Arrival in Melbs now 9:50. My lead is disappearing!


    @web_goddess @yarna_ @knitterjp @knitabulous @drkknits @knitdra Make that 10:50. Durrrrr.


    Boarding has started at last! See you all on the flip side.

    The Once and Future Way to Run – NYTimes.com – A long article from Christopher McDougall on barefoot running. I’m very interested in the “100-Up” exercise he mentions towards the end. If I’m going to train for another marathon, I need to do everything I can to remain injury free.

    Walk the Line Sydney – AH HA! If you’re wondering why there are pink dots all up and down George Street in Sydney, I think this is why.

    @AusVintageGrrl I don’t think pancakes are English. I never had them ever when I lived in England. You mean American style?


    @AusVintageGrrl Oh. No idea then. I like mine the size of a dinner plate, thick and fluffy, with bacon and maple syrup on top!


    @Kat13v Oh no! That sucks!


    Biker boots making me feel like Vyvyan. Everything is BORING, and I have impulse to start kicking people.


    Why are there giant pink dot stickers on the sidewalk along the west side of George St for, like, 10 blocks??


    Curiouser and curiouser. The pink dots appear to end in some giant mass at the QVB. Bus turned before I could get a good look…


    @thisismywww Hm. I noticed them from Chinatown heading into the CBD. They go all the way to Wynyard??


    AHA! I think the pink dots in Sydney are related to this: http://t.co/ItmyTC7Y It’s a public art/game thing.


    @thisismywww @sharre I tracked it down to this: http://t.co/ItmyTC7Y
