Just ran 5K down the mountain. Woo! Now have to run 5K back up. Crap. http://twitpic.com/4r7ogo

Luckily managed to get hot shower before power went out. Hmm. Good excuse to drink beer before it gets warm! http://twitpic.com/4r8rxa

The power is out at knitting camp so we’re all out on the porch to catch the light. http://twitpic.com/4r9v91

“She’s like a ninja… If ninjas wore grey garter stitch.” #quotesfromknitcamp

Breaking News: We have no hope of power being restored tonight. We are now drinking all the chilled alcohol before it warms.

Portrait of a Mad Knitter: @randomknits refuses to let a little TOTAL DARKNESS keep her from her intarsia. http://twitpic.com/4rc114

RT @knitterjp: Singing before dinner #knitcampgong in the dark yes the ukelele come out http://t.co/Wbx5JKu

Bollywood dinner cancelled due to pouring rain and power outage. Makeup and bling was all I could do! http://twitpic.com/4rdkhm

Surprisingly great day! The only thing missing – other than the electricity – was @mrs_sockvictim! Didn’t feel the same without you, Fee!

@cdeagle Click.

Now I’ve got like 1hr to shower and pack for camp before @knitterjp and the others pick me up! Eeek…

@knitterjp I’m in the truck and we are heading through King Street! Be there soon.

Drama! We drove through National Pk and there was a tree down! And we drove under it! And we got to call and report it! (Telstra FTW.)

Lunch by the sea on a grey, blustery day! (@ Scarborough Hotel) http://4sq.com/iClU0O

On our way to @drkknits! Hey, where do you live, anyway? 🙂

@drkknits We found it. There was some confusion with a similarly named street in Gordon, but we’re on the right track now.

Made it to @drkknits’s house! Yarn-fondling is happening. Coffee and cake are imminent. http://twitpic.com/4qthqz

@drkknits @randomknits My beer was being delivered by @knitabulous! But more is always good. 🙂

Realization! We ALL forgot flashlights!! Whoops.

Knitting Camp WOOOOOO! (@ Mount Keira Scout Camp) http://4sq.com/klIaxZ

Me and @knitterjp and a whole lotta wool! http://twitpic.com/4qvgcq

Excellent. A TV has been located in the camp kitchen. (Most of us want to see The Dress.) #winning

It’s all gone quiet. Everybody at Knitting Camp likes The Dress. Think we’re done with this now. Bring on the beer!

@Alacaeriel Hahaha… I said the same thing. Everything I know about Anglican wedding ceremonies comes from Jane Austen!

See? Totally rapt. http://twitpic.com/4qwwxq

I have strummed my ukelele in front of 20 people. Does that count as a performance? Unfortunately @drkknits is sick and can’t sing. 🙁

My hipster credentials have suffered a blow. One of the older ladies has a ukelele. Apparently they have a Seniors’ Uke Group in Kiama.

My sleeping bag must be rated for the North Pole. It’s freezing at camp but I still had to stick my legs out last night to avoid suffocation

A little bit of city sophistication halfway up a mountain, thanks to @randomknits and @knitabulous. Yum! http://twitpic.com/4r5zn6

Jeanette Berman raises the “changing your married name” issue and kicks some ass, IMHO. http://bit.ly/iBxtXE

@imdominating @carbolicious HELL YEAH, NEVILLE. http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/273698

@imdominating @carbolicious Yup. I am clicking thorugh 80 high-res screencaps RIGHT NOW. http://bit.ly/mTyqtw

@imdominating @carbolicious I love how batshit insane HBC looks in every single shot, even when she’s just in the background!

@chrisgander @thezedmiester I can’t go; I’ll be in the ‘Gong. 🙁

@randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits @knitabulous I am baking cookies INSIDE other cookies. Wheeee!

@drkknits YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. PEEPS? AT KNITTING CAMP?

Like Icarus, I flew too high and close to the sun. My Oreo-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies are not a success. They are a (tasty) failure.

@drkknits No time for Krispies, I’m afraid. You’re getting plain peanut butter cookies!

@gusseting My regular PB cookie dough recipe is much softer, and they spread far too much. Need to adjust it to make it stiffer, I think.

@knitness @ozquokka @knitabulous I didn’t get an email this year. I just emailed them and asked! Turns out they forgot me. 🙂

@missamanda That’s awesome! Well done.

Cookies are baked, and sleeping bag is laundered. That’s enough for tonight.

Heading to Olympic Park to pick up the Snook’s Hipster Cardigan. Interested to see if that staple I saw in it caused any harm…

It’s 9:20am, and there are like 20 people in the queue to pick up items. #fml

Cardy procured. No holes that I can see. Now get me the hell out of here…

@drkknits Nope. Quite a queue forming though, and lots of cars waiting to get in.

@sharre Oddly, I don’t think I got mine removed. They just fell out after a couple weeks…?

In the past month, 59 people have found my blog while searching for “pornographic woodwork.” Thank you Gary Gentle.

RT @dancingman: Anyone want 2 tix to Bob Dylan TONIGHT? Great seats. HH15 & HH16. Please RT.

Officially booked the hotel we’re staying in for the marathon in June. Less than 7 weeks to go!

Can’t tell if I really feel sick, or it’s just because of the co-workers hocking up their lungs nearby. I need a face mask.

Have recalled that Snook and I actually had to dress Bollywood once before for a wedding. Ready to laugh? http://bit.ly/dUdJUQ

@Anthony_Mills I believe the look is called “this is what the costume shop gave us.” 🙂

I was annoyed I was going to miss the Chaser’s royal wedding commentary… but it sucks they cancelled it for EVERYBODY.

@randomknits Very nice!

I like the Chaser too, but man, I wouldn’t want somebody snarking and crapping all over my wedding. Snark culture is starting to depress me.

@devvyleys Ooh, thanks. Haven’t tried that song yet.

Bollywood earrings, courtesy of Janhavi (@venks79’s missus). She also sent saris with SEQUINS. I feel glamourous! http://twitpic.com/4qap2g

@drkknits Janhavi sent earrings, necklaces, brooches, bangles… I got extras. 🙂

@DomesticJules Tweetbot does that. I’m still getting used to the UI, but I like the @ autofill.

@bezthomas I should’ve taken a photo of their whiteboard with total scones made. I recall it was up over 20,000 at that point…

I decided to go with the steek. @witty_knitter @randomknits http://twitpic.com/4poozq

A little worried about how much dark brown the ribbing ate up. Hoping @mrs_sockvictim has a backup ball of Tango 204 just in case!

@thisismywww I know about it. AFP has been blogging about it for a while. Not watching the feed though. Too busy knitting!

CBD traffic sucks today. That is all.

Ugh. I hate these Nutkins. http://twitpic.com/4p5jyd

Made it to Olympic Park! Just waiting on @randomknits and others. (cc @drkknits @knitabulous)

@drkknits I don’t know where to go…

Kylie and I brave the crowds to see giant vegetable displays. @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhZk_/

I have secured 5 seats at the CWA Tea Room. Now for the tricky part: playing defense til @drkknits gets back with the scones! @randomknits

CWA Devonshire Cream Tea procured! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhbmT/

@wen1965 Yep. A lot of the stands didn’t open til 11 though.

Stuffed with scones and lamington. By the time @randomknits @knitabulous & @gilmae get here, I will be in full-on carb coma.

Enjoying a massage chair demo with @drkknits. Ahhhhh…

Me and my cardigan with its sad lack of ribbons. @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/Dhmyw/

Listening as inappropriately dressed little girls gyrate while singing Bieber. @drkknits is appalled. http://twitpic.com/4p8fw8

I got my Cheese-on-a-Stick. All is right with the world. @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhwL4/

Having a bear-y good time! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show http://instagr.am/p/DhylZ/

RT @randomknits: Knitters with sticks! http://t.co/VYuSP9a

@bhmulder I had to have the Snook explain that one to me. 🙂

@randomknits I reached my Stick Threshold like three hours ago!

Learned to “chunk” on my uke just now. It makes the Patsy Cline so sound much more *authentic*.

@imdominating I have it ready to watch, thanks to @gilmae! Need to finish 1st book though. Also, step off. Dinklage is MAH BOYFRIEND.

My stomach hurts. Hardly surprising, considering the amount of Junk-on-a-Stick I ate today.

If a cardy only has fairisle at the hem and yoke, would you bother to steek or just go back and forth? Thoughts? @witty_knitter @randomknits

@randomknits I do too, but there’s not that much of it. (I’m cardigan-izing Paper Dolls, if you want to look it up on Rav.) @witty_knitter

Pitstop at home 2/3 through mega-long run. First bit was with @mrs_sockvictim; now running to meet @kunaal84. Going well. I CAN DO THIS.

Massive, massive thanks to @mrs_sockvictim, @kunaal84, & the Snook for helping me with today’s long run. I DID IT! 23 MILES! 37KM! WOOT! 🙂

@kunaal84 Also, Rodd totally approved of giving you a high-five. Ahem.

@randomknits The real challenge will be making it to the Show tomorrow… 🙂

@drkknits @randomknits MEDICINAL cheese on a stick. 🙂

I know it’s not good for me, but lying prone (on couch and bed) is pretty much all I’ve done since I finished the run.

@gusseting I showered… but I didn’t have an ice bath. I should’ve. I just couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in the cold!

Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals #13: Wonky Summer Pasta! http://bit.ly/hI5AGd Would’ve been better if we’d pre-baked the tart cases. #facepalm

I am sore everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

@drkknits ANTICIPATION.

@drkknits That’s TORNADO POTATO! They have it at an Asian takeaway near Central Station. I was underwhelmed.

Made it to the train! About to head to Easter Show. Legs are working better than expected. 🙂

Just had great FaceTime chat with my Mom. iPhone is gateway drug; whole family is Switching now! Free video chat is very “tomorrow.”

@SusieQTE1 Blocking and reporting you for spam.

Schnitzel and beer on a rainy day! @ Tommy’s Beer Cafe http://instagr.am/p/Db0Bu/

Crap. Throat is officially sore. Tomorrow’s long run *may* have to be postponed til Tuesday. (cc @laimelde @kunaal84 @mrs_sockvictim)

I am eating a dark chocolate Easter Bunny from Sweetness the Patisserie. It is the BEST. THING. EVER. http://bit.ly/dZCbvx

I have learned another ukulele song: “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” THIS IS FUN. (cc @drkknits)

@missamanda I’ve had desensitisation to dust mites and grass. For like the last 5 years.

@missamanda I used to take a Zyrtec every single day to survive. I’m down to maybe 1/wk or less now. So it’s helped a lot.

@missamanda The stuff was like $150 maybe every 9 months? And then the cost of getting all the shots. Medicare pays some of it.

@missamanda Shots were every 2 wks for first few months, then gradually stretched out to every month as dosage increased.

@missamanda It’s a bit voodoo though. Drs aren’t quite sure how or why it works. And it doesn’t cure totally; just helps mitigate a bit.

@missamanda I only stopped because I was burnt out on going to the doc every single month. You have to commit to that to get any benefits.

@drkknits Go to YouTube and look up John Denver version. That’s the key I’m doing it in!

@knitabulous @drkknits Sadly, yes. But John’s is best!

@drkknits iTunes has heaps. Even Sinatra covered it!

Tonight’s Jamie meal: Wonky Summer Pasta, Herby Salad, Pear Drop Tartlets. Fastest one yet: 33:26!! http://twitpic.com/4oe0m8

Longest run ever tomorrow. I could not be better prepared… with the exception of this stupid cold. Now to try and sleep.

It’s the buttcrack of dawn. Coffee, bagel with peanut butter. Hydrating. I am going to rock this run.

@toastman I am disappointed that’s a fake site, frankly.

No breakfast in the house. We planned to go to Eveleigh Markets. But it’s pissing down, as it always does in Sydney on Easter break. 🙁

@laimelde I emailed you with my schedule. Should be 10:30 ish?

@laimelde And yay!

@imdominating Oooh. I read the book. I SOBBED AND SOBBED. I can only imagine that I’d sob even more if Viggo was involved.

Yay! @carbolicious got the Easter package I sent. Video of kids opening it is CUTEST THING EVER. http://bit.ly/hvJEOp Love Indie’s GASPS! 🙂

Aww, Red Cross just rang me to personally thank me for donating! That was nice. Makes up for the vicious bruise I’ve had for over a week.

Sometimes the most important thing to do in your day is cheer up a friend who needs it!

@gizo Nuh. Works fine for me!

RT @MisterShuffles: I don’t know who this Jesus guy is, but he sure has made lots of you happy by getting you days off work!

RT @runasand: (1) Apple is not collecting data, (2) Hidden file is neither new nor secret, (3) “Discovery” published months ago: http:// …

I thought I was coming down with a cold, and then I had a couple glasses of wine, and now I feel fiiiiiiiine. 🙂

@gizo Don’t be a sad! For I haz friended you.

@redambition Avoid the Long Island Iced Tea. They’re very good. But… BADNESS. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.

@kunaal84 AWESOME. Was it good???

@devvyleys May well be the case! She did a great job, but I still have massive purple splotch on my arm.

@lemon_lime HAVE FUN! Say Bon Voyage from me to Jamie too!

@SallyPompom Very! Please take photos. We miss her. And you! 🙂

Giant sleepy cat resting on my legs. Hot coffee. Knitting. Molly Ringworld marathon. Nice start to the weekend. http://twitpic.com/4nro6u
