Running late for the damn Easter Show. Finally waiting for the train. Why are my weekends busier than my weekdays?

---

This appears to also be the train to “SupaFest.” Kill me now.

---

@miss_reecie We need to work on your posing. Needs more attitude!

---

@knitness @miss_reecie I think she was actually there yesterday, unless she’s been living in that Rav agree shirt all weekend. 😛

---

Floor tiler is here! I predict by the end of today, it’s going to look a lot more like a kitchen and less like a concrete cave.

---

@witty_knitter @Kat13v @merrinmez webmaster@ email address will reach her. Susan’s not as 24/7 online as I am though.

---

…And I was wrong. This is going to be a two-day affair, which means I need to figure out how to keep 2 cats out of cement for 24 hours.

---

@witty_knitter I am, but I will likely be a bit late!

---

@imdominating At the salon reading trashy mags, and this made me laugh and laugh. R FATZ. http://t.co/m6S1YxVE

---

Hair drying has commenced. Heading to Guild soon!

---

@AusVintageGrrl What surgery? Did miss something? You okay??

---

@drkknits I’M COMING! I got up late and had no time to eat before getting my hair did. Catching a cab RIGHT NOW.

---

Got my hair done and made it to Guild! They gave me a sash for my 2nd place socks. 🙂 http://t.co/LQcAvlCL

---

The renderer is here. Apparently there will be more jack hammering. *sigh*

---

@drkknits Did you see Eric and his Dad?

---

@shanea Is it @TimBags? 🙂

---

Screams wafting across Circular Quay. Is that boy band playing nearby?

---

@stufromoz NOT US! NOT US! Ours is hopefully all done. (Hopefully.) (Sorry neighbours.)

---

@knitness @knitterjp @Yarna_ I wish. I have a house covered in brick dust to clean. 🙁

---

@bikelid Your product looks like just what I need! Any Australian importers?

---

@sthcrft Ooh, I got lights and floor pump, but no iPhone mount. Which one did you get?

---

@livingale I am having sympathy pains for your liver.

---

Hey, look, more progress! We have a new extended wall! http://t.co/CvKGDtCP

---

@randomknits Bright and sunshiney! Very nice. Did you see Colette launched new spring/summer patterns today?

---

@randomknits Apparently they’ve got digital downloads now too. I’m gonna be all over that. 🙂

---

@venks79 Great job!

---

@witty_knitter @randomknits They sent it out to the mailing list, but looks like it’s on the site: http://t.co/d1kpXWpc

---

Thrilled to have signed on with @Sitback as a permanent employee today! Looking forward to all the cool stuff in the pipeline…

---

@stufromoz @Alegrya @witty_knitter @lemon_lime @betsybookworm Thanks! Gratified they saw enough value in role to make me part of core team!

---

@witty_knitter Awwww. But you’ve never even read one of my 100-page software specification documents! 😛

---

It appears we have need of supplemental electrician services. Anybody got a recommendation? (@dancingman?)

---

@dancingman I’m not quite sure what’s required; @the_snook has been talking to one. Are you even interested? Can you recommend someone?

---

@livingale QUIT TORMENTING ME. 😛

April 10 – first time I whinged about the cold this year and @the_snook reminded me I can’t get out the heater til ANZAC Day. #tradition

---

It’s happening!! http://t.co/UaLBe3K5

---

@drkknits Oh no! So sorry to hear it.

---

HOLY CRAP, demolition is LOUD.

---

Making lots of progress! http://t.co/O6CGtsf4

---

Just confirming for @the_snook that this is in no way some sort of sexy King Gee ad. http://t.co/gM3FETjg

---

About to start jackhammering. Yes, I have my ear plugs in. http://t.co/lpCQ0nRO http://t.co/Zvsi8i93

---

I can feel the floor vibrating.

---

Jackhammering is DONE. Holy crap, my house is covered in dust.

---

All done! And now my house is COVERED in dust. Ick. http://t.co/kYkBhNmN

---

Not a good plan, having the borderline OCD person here on the dustiest day. I’m freaking out a little bit. I feel overwhelmed.

---

Kitchen at 2pm and 6pm. My ears are still ringing and my skin is crawling from the dust, but @ Chippendale http://t.co/fue3Ef1d

I just ousted Elias as the mayor of The Sports Clinic on @foursquare! http://t.co/QjnWuWkW

---

Great news! Physio just gave me go ahead to ride my bike! Still no running, but things are progressing according to plan, he says.

---

The Snook is managing today’s kitchen progress. So far we have a brickie extending a wall. http://t.co/5lPtA7y2

Chippo residents: I’ve got a popcorn popper, ancient scanner, and panini press/grill up for grabs. Any takers? @snarkyboojum @mpesce

---

@snarkyboojum No no, just massive cleaning ahead of our kitchen reno, starting tomorrow!

---

Huh. It’s like @drkknits and I wrote a GoT recap. http://t.co/7EmUbmVl (Hat tip to @imdominating!)

---

@gilmae @drkknits Haven’t read it. Stephenson puts me to sleep, sad to say.

---

@jenbishopsydney Damn! It’s just the one cover, and it isn’t the Isunda grey we wanted. Oh well – thanks for the tip anyway!

---

Came to buy a chair. Ended up buying a mattress. (@ IKEA w/ 10 others) http://t.co/K3nJhknH

---

IKEA said they could deliver TODAY. I’m stoked. Everyone’s told me that memory foam is going to be life-changing. (Old mattress was 10yo!)

---

@sharre Most likely just a Joe Job. Nothing you can do about it, really.

---

@messicat Aww, thank you!

---

@SallyPompom So far no big spike, but it is up a bit on last week. http://t.co/cp5S6G7D

---

You guys – I totally made a dress! All by myself! Just needs buttons, zip, and pockets to finish. http://t.co/rZi8PDtL

---

@goldfishgeorge Thanks! Technically it’s my practice muslin, but I’m thrilled how wearable it looks! Just a few size adjustments needed…

---

@AusVintageGrrl Thanks! My bust, waist, and hips were all different sizes, which made things fun. 🙂

---

@AusVintageGrrl Eh, it’s a bit boobtacular. I need to take about an inch out under the arms, but then it’ll be very good!

---

@jenwburn Yeah. Designer suggests wearing it over a blouse as a pinny in the winter. May get some use yet!

---

@randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes hahaha… I hope you shoved a smartphone up his ass!

---

@mrs_sockvictim Nice! EZ’s seamless hybrid, yeah?

---

One week without alcohol – everything else the same – and I’m down nearly two kilos. Huh. Mystery plateau explained. (cc @drkknits)

---

Headed to the Easter Show to (wo)man the Guild display. I bet @Yarna_’s getting hungry! http://t.co/86XDFI9F

---

I just unlocked the “Trainspotter” badge on @foursquare! http://t.co/nr2Cr3V9

---

@stufromoz @teknetia @snarkyboojum It’s gone! Michael Mobbs put his hand up first. Now anybody for a robotic self-cleaning litter tray?

---

@teknetia @hatescake It’s a Littermaid. We brought it from US years ago but our idiot cats need something w/ higher sides. $40 & it’s yours!

---

@drkknits @Yarna_ So am I going to have to yell at some spinners to get in? Because I have no problem with that.

---

If you’re at the Easter Show today, stop in and say hi! I’ll be at the Guild Display in the Arts & Crafts pavilion.

---

Me and @Yarna_, workin’ the Guild stand at the Show! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 http://t.co/BHCKmPSn

---

Eek. Glass panel on Ceramics display gave way as a kid pushed on it. Major crash. Hope no exhibits broke!

---

No naked marquetry this year?! Woodworkers, I am disappoint.

---

Holy cow. Some girl had the RAS track me down. She wants to buy my socks. Quoted $250. She is undeterred. YOWZA!

---

It *is* possible to eat #paleo at the Show, though I had to search a bit. Garlic Kebab Plate. Yum! (See, @bezthomas!) http://t.co/IlMQ3UJO

---

@RoseRed_Shoes I told her to email me after I’d thought about it. @Yarna_ thinks I should take her up on it!

---

@laimelde Haha, not anytime soon.

---

@witty_knitter @randomknits @Kat13v I got on my metaphorical soapbox. @Yarna_ was most amused. 🙂

---

Me and my second place socks today! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 http://t.co/9SVvUANI

---

@jenbishopsydney We are buying that exact set! Hope they aren’t sold out in a few weeks…

---

@Yarna_ Oh no! What was it??

---

@jenbishopsydney Wait, what?! Saw sign that sofa sale starts on Apr 19. But chair is on sale now?? Which IKEA??

---

@jenbishopsydney This was sign at Homebush a few weeks ago. Hmm, website doesn’t mention sale now? http://t.co/a44iTBJI

---

@jenbishopsydney Hm. If this is just a special Easter sale, might have to go over there on Monday!
