On hold with @auspost waiting to see if anybody found my drivers license at Strawberry Hills. Crossing my fingers…


Nope. Nothing. Really annoyed at @auspost worker who managed to lose it in 30 seconds. Going to cost me to replace. 🙁


@Soma377 Eh. I’m kinda mostly over Dahl now. The site makes a tidy little income, but I don’t have the energy to devote to it/him anymore.


Pub knitting time! I need a burger and a beer, like NOW.


@indefensible That’s double my record. What the hell did you actually buy??


Had a lovely nana nap on the couch to sleep off the midday beers. *yawn* That was nice.


@GeorgieKnits Zucchini bread! Best ever. My recipe is here: http://t.co/stHMJ2ZM


On our way to Marrickville to see @neilhimself’s show. A little culture to balance out all the beer and cricket of the last 3 days…


It’s all geeks in Threadless t-shirts, as far as the eye can see. Just heard some girl squeal: “I got his AUTOGRAPH in my MOLESKINE!”


RT @laimelde: Coaxed myself to Neil’s show… But have already run into one person I know, so, things might improve. // That was ME!


It’s events like this that make me realise I’m kind of a self-hating geek.


Ahhhh, so this is where all the Android users are. More than I’ve seen in the wild before. Must be a goth thing.


@randomknits Wish you were here too! Some of these people are freakin’ me out.


Waves at @laimelde from row M….


RT @neilhimself: Fourplay doing their version of the Doctor Who theme always makes me happy and goose-flesh prickly at the same time.


Seriously, that was like the string quarter equivalent of “Sabotage.” Fourplay rock HARD.


@madradish I don’t know their stuff well enough to confirm! But it was pretty damn epic.


@madradish Wait! According to @laimelde , that’s exactly what it was. 🙂


Says @the_snook: “These events always make me want to go home and shave and cut my hair.”


Neil Gaiman doing a reading with Fourplay backing him up. Pretty thrilling. http://t.co/uMsD1tKD


Snook: “Asphincter says MEOWWWW?” Petey: “Meow!” @the_snook falls over laughing. “Exactly.”

Just found out my Mom had to put down the dog today. Lucy was very old and in a lot of pain. Such a good little dog. Going to hug my cat…


Still shaking my head that someone on Channel 9 cricket production team chose Porno for Pyros to play during an ad transition.


@quietdiscourse If I see that Bupa ad one more time, I’m going to choke my healthier self to death.


My Norman Lindsay knitting series continues. Sam Sawnoff lives! http://t.co/zF5bCusX


@supercres First one is good, but I liked each sequel less and less.


@jezfletcher @sarahhazelton Hahaha… Keep her away from loose seals.


Ventured into CBD to shop but was denied at every turn. How can Lincrap be all out of polyfill?


Met up with Albie tho to get all the wool industry goss. Surprised to hear M&S are now official Oz distributors of Zauberball!


Other big news: ACS closing down woollen mill. No more commercial wool production happening in Australia. Pretty sad.


@randomknits @knitterjp It was the first I’d heard. Apparently like 40 ppl being laid off. It’ll devastate Wangaratta, he said. 🙁


SIDDLE. YOU ARE KILLING ME.


RT @randomknits: @web_goddess @knitterjp 49 jobs, apparently 🙁 http://t.co/AI65roWn


Yowza! Tendulkar is out. What a champion. I’m barracking for Australia, but I would have liked to see him get the 100th century.


So I went temporarily insane today & bought my first ever maxi dresses. Basically giant tank tops. http://t.co/U4X9Y4pQ http://t.co/LvOZ6ky4


@AusVintageGrrl What I hear is that they don’t spin anything here. It’s all imported in cones these days.


@randomknits @gilmae Friday’s fine for me! I’ll be around. I can easily run into the city…


@kcarruthers Yet judging by the article, they don’t appear to help with the problem of grocers’ apostrophes…

Just turned on the cricket. 2 for 52?! I bet @kunaal84 is enjoying this in the Members’ Stand…


RT @indefensible: Australia only knows how to play cricket in drought conditions.


@randomknits What sort of mixer? Good deal?


@kunaal84 My boyfriend is bowling, and he appears to have cut his hair. When did that happen?!


@kunaal84 Eek! Close-up. He looks like a werewolf. Not happy. I’m breaking up with him.


@stkilda Well, I prefer it when Australia isn’t royally SUCKING. 🙂


@kunaal84 Did you paint your face? I just saw some Indians with painted faces on telly.


Ooh. Hussey just got robbed!


Clearly, @kunaal84 has made some sort of pact with Satan. If Sachin gets a century, we’ll have confirmation.


I am my father’s daughter. Just used gaffer tape to jerry-rig my air conditioner exhaust to fit our bedroom window. Bliss…


@SupFarn I suck at crochet. 🙁

@randomknits Now THAT is a good idea!


Nigella’s Coca-Cola Ham, Sweet Potato Mash, and Green Bean Casserole. Yum. @ Chippendale http://t.co/Ow7QPk1x


@drkknits That’s cause I coated it in treacle and brown sugar and put it under the grill. 🙂


@RadhikaR Hm. I use Paprika, and I love it. It’s pretty easy to add recipes, which that article kinda glosses over.


@RadhikaR It has a killer feature: screen never turns off! 🙂

Seriously? It’s raining elsewhere in the Inner West? What the hell. I saw some dark clouds on my run, but Chippo has been sunshiney & hot!


Ploughman’s lunch in the sunshine, complete with @the_snook’s homebrew. @ Chippendale http://t.co/vxBnrKhe


I think my denial about the Rhiannons is finally over. They’re too big. GAHHH. I guess I’ll frog and start over.


@drkknits Yeah. I’m deluding myself, I think. If I continue, I don’t think I’ll be happy.


@drkknits Which is weird, because I’m always way tight. Maybe Cookie is a tight knitter too. 🙂


Jamie’s Broccoli Pasta, Zucchini & Bocconcini Salad, Prosciutto & Melon. 27:16!! http://t.co/y88A0T4V


@randomknits Bah. Traditions are overrated. We rocked out on Guitar Hero. 🙂


Merry Christmas, everybody! Looks like Santa brought us a lovely summer day, finally. 🙂


I am known for my love of all daggy things, including Christmas sweaters. But this is a step too far, even for me. http://t.co/UzAJJVOD


@sthcrft @LeanneField I find “graffiti knitting” pretty ugly at the best of times. That one makes me feel sorry for the tree. 🙂


Bork bork! @the_snook’s gift from his Ma. Love it! http://t.co/TKOe7ryW


@codepo8 And he’s going to make me chocolate mousse tonight. It’s like a porn film over here.


@mrs_sockvictim I noticed that too. Ha!

OH FFS. Gmail finally forced me to upgrade to the new theme. I hate it hate it HATE IT. Ick.

RT @henrytapia: @web_goddess Why? // Mystery meat buttons. Stupid importance labels. Avatars on emails. Too much white space.


RT @marcooda: @web_goddess go to settings, you can revert back. // Woot! Thanks. Reverted. They can pry it from my cold dead hands. 🙂


@drkknits I’ll gift it back to you next year… 🙂


@henrytapia Some of that, I grant. What’s the harm in leaving the old version as an option for existing users?


Waiting in massive queue at Strawberry Hills post office for parcel pickup. FML.


On the plus side, I think it’s our package from Colette!! @randomknits @Gin_ev_ra


Got my package. And then the clerk at @auspost Surry Hills managed to lose my drivers license in 30 seconds. Yes, really.


@knitterjp @auspost Nope. There was a crush of 6 customers, 3 clerks, and a dog at the window. Hoping they find it later. REALLY annoying.


Correction @auspost. It was Strawberry Hills. Too annoyed to type correctly. No, I didn’t get it back.


@knitterjp Ooh, holiday is not cancelled? Yay!


@bellsknits You just have to make new traditions! There’s plenty to like/enjoy about Xmas outside of kids opening gifts (tho that’s fun).


This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it SHINE. My nephew is the coolest kid ever. http://t.co/pYmUioNk So much joy!


The good news is, replacement license only costs $23. Still, going back to @auspost tomorrow to see if it turned up. I KNOW it’s there.


@jezfletcher Guy at work got one. Agree, it’s huge. Must not be marketing to women. I’d need two hands to do anything with it.


@mrs_sockvictim Run. If you go, I’ll go!


@Gin_ev_ra @randomknits Okay, how can I get you your patterns? You around the city at all in next 2 weeks?


Well. @auspost website says Strawberry Hills PO opens at 9am. Yet here I am at 9:30 with the place locked up tight. WTF.


@mrs_sockvictim @sixandahalfst I’m in the middle of one right now!


@mrs_sockvictim @sixandahalfst Wet? Sun has been shining in Chippo! Not a bit of rain. Is it raining elsewhere??

Morris & Sons knitters: we still on? Grace Bar seems closed. Does it open at 5? @knitterjp @Yarna_


@knitterjp @Yarna_ @knitdra It’s open now and I’m here!


@imdominating Yay! Toasty woollen socks are the best on a cold night.


I am truly grateful for the co-workers that said they’d miss me but also wished me well. Even though I’ve still got 2weeks left. 🙂


@stufromoz Gave notice yesterday. Starting at http://t.co/xoEyTxv0 on Jan 23. Same role (BA). 🙂


Hey @mrs_sockvictim! Some festive knitters want to know if you’re turning up…


@mrs_sockvictim Ah, we figured something had gone wrong. You were missed!

@drkknits @GeorgieKnits I actually like several of those. And I LOVE the ski jumpers!!


@drkknits @GeorgieKnits I draw the line at, like, sewn on embellishments. But intarsia? I love it! Me and Jenny Kee all the way, baby.


Yay! @the_snook got me bubbly to celebrate the news: I’m starting a new job next month! http://t.co/f47U1l7j


Thanks everyone! Same role (Business Analyst) at new place: http://t.co/xoEyTxv0. Lots of exciting projects and new team to work with…


@crumpet Ha, yeah. I guilted him into it because of the money he raised for Fauxvember. He doesn’t tweet much. 🙂


@witty_knitter Bit of both, I think! Hate to leave my colleagues at old job behind, but after 3 years I need to stretch myself a bit.


Behold my army of Wonky-Ass Gingerbread Men! @ Chippendale http://t.co/fklvMLFG


@imdominating I have resorted to only buying presents for nieces and nephews. It helps when you don’t actually visit anybody.


@codepo8 Dude, without that there wouldn’t have been all those sweet web-based chat rooms I hung out in in 1996!


Ugh. Some people really know how to make you feel guilty. 🙁

WHERE DID THIS SUN COME FROM? I think it’s because @the_snook has been slowroasting pork belly on the BBQ at home for me all day… 🙂


@drkknits @knitterjp @the_snook This one: http://t.co/vR74zi6N. I invited @kunaal84 over to eat some with us. 🙂


@henrytapia @the_snook It’s a brave new world, man. (Took me several years of persuading.)


@knitterjp Paprika! There’s Mac & iPhone versions too, I think, but we just use the iPad. It’s our most used app. Love it!


@AusVintageGrrl That sucks! Hope you guys – and @redambition – feel better soon. It’s been 5 weeks for me and I’m still coughing. 🙁
