Keep Calm and Carry On. http://twitpic.com/1se2ta My new red water bottle makes me happy.


@Lauren_lolly_ I’ve blogged more this weekend than I have in a long time. Even finished an actual knitting project! 🙂


My Absinthe Socks are finally finished! Five months for socks?! I told you I’ve been busy. *sigh* http://bit.ly/97NJVE


Is anyone else freezing? I’m freezing. Even in my new woolen socks. Brrrr.


Front door was open! I am an idiot.


Guess what, folks? Geek Girl Runner Episode 7 is uploaded and waiting for you! http://bit.ly/bMU4vh

RT @ebertchicago: Today: Del Toro is off “The Hobbit.” Last week: Del Toro announced he wouldn’t film it in 3D.


@ebertchicago If it’s in 3D, this LotR fan won’t be going to see it, ever.


Many happy returns of the day, @randomknits! (You couldn’t wish for this rain to go away, could you?)

Sunshine and rain at the same time. On the bus to Newtown to try out a new dentist…


I’m not working on M&S site this year, but Albert says they’re having technical difficulties today. He says sorry everybody!


Hmm. $500 at dentist may have convinced me to get Extras cover again…


@miss_reecie For the two of us. Cleaning, checkups, and Xrays. And we both have to go back for fillings! Yowch.


Wow. HCF have waived our waiting periods, so we’re going back with our tails between our legs. Thanks HCF! And huzzah for cheap dentistry.


My podcast got a mention in The Buffalo News! http://bit.ly/cDhM7q I guess that means I should record another episode. 🙂


Catching a ferry to Manly so we can celebrate @gadgetgirl70’s birthday!


Made the ferry with 2 minutes to spare. Gee, Sydney’s pretty at night… http://twitpic.com/1s2t6b


Sydney Opera House… in leopard print. There’s something you don’t see every day. http://twitpic.com/1s2uco


Ben and Jerry’s and matching Starmore Arans. HELL YEAH. http://twitpic.com/1s3tgg


Good grief. 9:45?? I am a SLUG-A-BED. I hope this means I’m finally caught up on my sleep debt from last week.

I just became a fan of Elvis Presely on #GetUpGo. Who’s with me? http://bit.ly/dif1T3


@bellsknits That we ourselves actually bought? Hm. I have a feeling it might have been The Bangles’ “Different Light”. #firstalbum

Whoa! M&S have finally had their long awaited lighting upgrade: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/morris-and-sons-snb/1153189/1-25


@SallyPompom I think you took over from me. I have this way of talking people into taking my unwanted burdens. 😛


@chrisgander The Ars Technica review was good too: http://bit.ly/aCyxIS. Definitely thinking about getting it!


Woohoo! Time for sewing class. http://twitpic.com/1rgsyl


Sewing is happening! Hermione Granger is in the house! http://twitpic.com/1rh9jd


1st sewing class finished. I made a bag. With butterflies! http://twitpic.com/1ric70


Congrats to @Lauren_lolly_ , AK’s newest mod. Long may she reign! 😛


@witty_knitter Ha. You’re really taking this “new Aussie” thing to heart. 🙂


RT @Glebe2037: @DDsD “The BJ Apple Store is sexy.” <- I did not read that as Bondi Junction // HAHAHAHAHAHA! Me too.

Pulling the plug. Feels nice. Now to iron the fabric for my sewing class tomorrow. Yay for new hobbies and skills! (Such a school nerd.)


@misswired @damana Thanks! I’ve done quilting and toys, but never really sewn garments. Skirts and shirts and frocks ahoy!


Up half the night with acid reflux. No Tums in the house. Feel like I got about 4 hours sleep. 🙁


Bus is broken down at Broadway. Other buses are going around and NOT picking people up at the actual stop. Great.


@AirForceTed Really? I haven’t noticed it helping. We often get Chia bread but I’ve had this issue for years. 🙁


@AirForceTed Ahhhh. Okay, will pick some up next time I’m at GNC and give it a try. Thanks for the tip!

There is no mood so bad it can’t be alleviated by The Pogues’ “Tuesday Morning.”


Chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes. Even in Sydney I can still pretend I’m Amish. http://twitpic.com/1qvwwb


@twelveeyes Under the noodles. The Amish are the masters of doubling up on the carbs. Perfect for cold winter nights. 🙂


@drkknits Haven’t watched that season, and can’t figure out how in the world anyone would EVER want Parvati to win anything!


@bellsknits @SallyPompom @witty_knitter Suffering n00bs is one of the prices you pay to be on the Internet. Ignore and be happy!


Trying to come up w/ tweet to summarise knitting cliques & “us vs. them” & techno-snobbery & tribalism… and it’s just too depressing.

It is so creepy when the air conditioner in the office shuts off. My typing SEEMS VERY LOUD.


RT @VenessaHunt: MobileActive to partner with MIG – http://bit.ly/aEVoZG <<< we are in SMH @mobileembrace!! woohoo!


@epaulette @zedsains Don’t tweet contest yet! 2.5 is on staging, NOT production. Another day or two, eager beavers. 🙂


@getupgo SN signup page isn’t ready quite yet! Just bear in mind. We’re on staging, not prod. 🙂


Three cheers for the handsome and handy Mr Snook, who fixed our leaky toilet using only his ingenuity and $15 supplies from Kmart!


Shared today on Twitter

Home improvement Sunday. On third trip to try to find monkey wrench to fix our now-disassembled toilet. Oops.


GOING TO SCREAM. Follow instructions exactly with proper tools, and toilet still leaks. ARRRRRRRRRRGH.


@Lauren_lolly_ There are several others, but they’re not always online as much as me. I tend to be a bit of a focal point for the team.


Finally a win. Airport Express is set up and iTunes is streaming through TV speakers. Sweeeeeeeet.


@Lauren_lolly_ No, my stupid leaky toilet is causing me stress. This is just sticks and string and electrons, really. 🙂


Warm, cozy pub complete with roaring wood fire. And beer. *sigh* DIY? What DIY?


Interesting things happening on the Knitters Guild website… http://bit.ly/dCSzpR


@Kat13v Refresh the News page. I hit submit just as I saw your tweet. 🙂


@Kat13v We got back from the pub ages ago. Nearly about bedtime though…


Feeling good abou weekend despite lack of running and utter failure at toilet fixing.

Who’s up for knitting 50m of I-cord? Not I, said the cat.


@SallyPompom @WittyKnitter Would it help if I hint that the I-cord would be silver? 🙂


@mrs_sockvictim It’s today! I might go if you do… 🙂


@Kat13v @witty_knitter Heh. I noticed that too. 🙂


@witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim I went home for a shower. On my way now…


@Diepdin Thousands and thousands. Would have to run “dual phase” or some such. Not really possible.


What are good shows on @SevenNetworkau? I want to boycott but it’s hard with a DVR. What do I unsub from? #muckraking #homophobic #bastards

Only in the Knitters Guild does someone snail mail bug reports complete with printed out screenshots.


The most amazing Metafilter thread of all time: http://bit.ly/aq2le5. Two Russian girls saved from sex trafficking. It’s like a movie.


Argh. That was the MetaTalk thread. Here’s the actual Metafilter thread: http://bit.ly/agBccB.


Electrician came over to discuss our kitchen plans. My induction cooktop is looking problematic. BUGGER.


Just booked in with new dentists. Holy cow! How much do you guys pay for cleaning + checkup? This seems high to me…


@witty_knitter Who is it? Are they accepting new patients? 🙂


There are 2000+ people in the AK group. A couple of flags by the same few people is hardly a mandate. COME ON, GUYS.


@bellsknits I’ve been told people are agitating to flag all non-knitting posts on AK, despite them being allowed. More work for mods.


@sharre That’s the best response, I think. I’m putting a few other strategies in place too…


@that_alison The irony is that there aren’t any anymore. We took them all away. Destashing is the only one with hard rules.


@that_alison I’ve just made tidied up the old rules/guidelines and linked them: http://bit.ly/9gG0sl Sound okay?


@sharre Hooray! I’m a fan. I may even be able to contribute. 🙂


@TimBags Dude, induction is FROM THE FUTURE. You can boil water in like 90s. Besides, getting gas into flat would be a couple grand.


@antipathy_now That’s what the bulk of them seem to be charging. The first place in Glebe was 2x as much! Eek!


@chenchaoyi0333 The cooktops are more: $2K-3K. It’s very fast to heat/cool. Other advantages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooker


Guild members: I’m submitting my Website Subcommittee Proposal tomorrow. Who’s willing to give feedback on the draft?


@Lauren_lolly_ It would probably be a little boring if you’re not a member. The intricacies of sub-committees are not for the faint-hearted!


@witty_knitter Yep. Nearly done. Sending in a couple minutes.


@witty_knitter I sent to your Bigpond. That okay?


@drkknits It’s okay, I think I got it covered. 10am I’ll be handing it in at the meeting! 🙂


@bellsknits She did. We had a nice email back and forth about it but ultimately she felt I should just kill it.


@Diepdin Problem is you need a LOT of leccy and separate circuit for cooktop. We might not have enough power and our place is hard to wire.


@Diepdin Main prob is it looks like we only have 80Amp circuit to whole house. So we could be tripping breaker if we max out.
