    @drkknits Yay! Have a wonderful trip. You are so lucky!

    @randomknits Very nice!

    I woke up in the 90’s, apparently. Babydoll dress and combat boots were screaming for a day out.

    @drkknits For some reason I was just tempted to tweet a very crude, very funny quote from Clerks at you…

    @drkknits I always get the full-body see-through scanner. BECAUSE I’M TOTES HOT AND THEY WANT A PIECE OF THIS.

    @ozgamer Happy belated birthday! All the best people are Pisceans. Right, @kunaal84? 🙂

    @drkknits It’s a little known fact that the knitting needle ban was the fault of the Easter Show judges. Be sure to mention I said that.

    Was really great to run into @AusVintageGrrl and @thisismywww at Broadway with their little fella!

    @drkknits Should’ve asked me! We have heaps we could have lent you.

    The Self-Replicating Mittens pattern is now live: http://t.co/m8jvdvNv8X. Knitters, please let me know if you spot any obvious errors!

    @drkknits It’s less about that and more about having them from going on trips there!

    Time for QI and cocktails. We’re sophisticated.

    @mrs_sockvictim I have slow-roasted pork belly in my house RIGHT NOW.

    @GrumpyDerp @mseager @clepetit @virtualwolf Now half of Twitter is going to have nightmares…

    @merrinmez @mrs_sockvictim Undue influence would have been mentioning the homemade onion jam seemed alongside it… 🙂

    @merrinmez @mrs_sockvictim I think she means she’s not a real judge. I’m withholding pork products til I see something on letterhead.

    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @merrinmez There is ALWAYS. More. Pork.

    @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes I nearly bought a pair of hot pink headphones at Costco today. I didn’t need them, but they were SO PRETTY.

    @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes They also have $20 pink jersey wrap dresses, but they didn’t suit me.

    @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes (I am the person who tries on clothes in the middle of Costco over their existing clothes.)

    @aimee_maree You really can’t extrapolate from Austin to the US at the best of times, much less when SxSW is on.

    @aimee_maree I wasn’t talking about Internet. I was referring to the dumb question about your nose!

    @neil_killick Yeah, partner is based here. Can’t easily move!

    Thanks everybody! I can explain in person, but this is A) not a surprise and B) actually kind of a relief. Knowing is better than not!

    THANK YOU to everyone who has sent sympathy and potential job leads. I feel really lucky. You’re all The Best.

    @henrytapia I don’t want to annoy anybody… but my time frame has definitely moved up. Atlassian still my #1 choice tho!

    Hm. Lots of beers on empty stomach is now leading to headache. Go to bed or drink more beer?

    @eileenDCoE I did have food, so my belly is full now. 🙂

    @eobeara Should’ve never asked an Irishman! 🙂

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I ate half a cow and a plate full of roasted beets, like a good cavewoman.

    @trpurcell That sounds familiar… 🙂

    @clepetit @vrenjith I had a full steak dinner after the beers, and that may have been a mistake. BLEURGH.

    A little disappointed they didn’t wait one more week so I could be made redundant on my BIRTHDAY. I’d get extra sympathy beers for that one!

    @vrenjith I am home! I was at least smart about that. Survival Brain kicked in: Stop beer. Get on bus. Get away from Irish people at pub…

    @redambition @drkknits NO. I am never drinking again. *clutches head and moans*

    @crumpet @henrytapia Small world! Don’t think I’ve met @jpoh in person, but we may have crossed paths.

    My head feels better. The key appears to be to NOT MOVE IT EVER.

    With 12hrs to go, my Easter Show entries are finished! http://t.co/hH1eASNMJ8

    @drstip Yes! Both of them work. “Self-Replicating Mittens”, because they point to the pattern (which I wrote).

    @liedra For now it’s a 404. But tomorrow, it will be the actual mitten pattern (which I wrote). Hence “Self-Replicating Mittens”. 🙂

    @drkknits We don’t really do the whole “big choc egg with a gift” thing. That’s what I took last time. Definitely Tim Tams too!

    @drkknits You should focus on maximising the space on your suitcase for bring back Reese’s Peanut Butter Easter Eggs.

    @drkknits And if you bring any goddamn Peeps, so help me god, I will sit in your driveway and play Taylor Swift all day long loudly.

    @drkknits Yeah, they get the creme eggs. I always hated em, but they’re everywhere.

    @drkknits They don’t have any of the bars that you get in a box of Celebrations, I think, so anything related would be a novelty.

    @drkknits I wasn’t being sarcastic! Well, only a little bit. It caught my eye because it’s an awesome title. 🙂

    @catehstn Nah, not so much that. Just stress. Also having garden worked on; everything dug up and messy. Bad feng shui. Tense all week.

    @messicat Have you checked with shelters if they need walkers? Some runner friends I have in US run with shelter dogs for exercise!

    @messicat Also, the Cat Protection Society has volunteers who play with the kittens to socialise them. Maybe dog shelters do same?

    @auspost Ah. Still, $3 to send a postcard separate to the package I was already sending doesn’t really help!

    @dancingman Still no power! This sucks. Any idea what’s going on? There are like a dozen guys digging a hole on Lower Ft. St.

    Ausgrid are now digging up the pavement directly on front of our office door. 48hrs without power and counting… http://t.co/8rBOS3DEVC

    Knee. Physio. Again. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/fLJq2oj93p

    @eobeara The first day we all worked from home. Today they rented a generator so we could power up office network.

    Good session at physio. It’s hard to recognise progress after a year of chronic pain, but my knee is definitely improving.

    @eobeara It is. It still hurts, but I can objectively squat farther than I could before. Running still forbidden though.

    IT WORKED. I BLOCKED THE CRAP OUT OF IT, AND IT WORKED!! #qrcode http://t.co/H6t71ItO8C

    For the record, Google Goggles seems to work better at deciphering slightly wonky QR codes than other dedicated apps.

    @witty_knitter Yes, check the URL. I just haven’t put the content up yet. YAY! What app did you use?

    @drkknits Google Goggles is best, I think, though you can try dedicated apps too.

    @witty_knitter Awesome!! Blocking the crap out of it seems to be key.

    I don’t even care if it doesn’t work once it’s sewn on. We’ve had multiple successful tests of concept, and that’s good enough for Art!

    @eobeara Fantastic! There will be content up on the page soon. Just wanted to prove it would work!! Thanks!!

    @witty_knitter In fairisle on 2mm needles, no less. 😛

    … And now I’ve got to knit another one. Dammit.

    Second QR code knitted, and it also works. BOOYAH.

    @misswired Seen that one before. I have trouble with anything like that since Halloween here is always so hot.

    @drkknits Awesome. I knew some sleep would do the trick!

    Day 3 of no power at Lower Fort Street. Luckily I’m at home for the gardeners, so at least I can see when I go to the toilet.

    Me: “I dreamed that zombies were chasing me!” Rodd: “I dreamed that we left the grill on in the oven for 3 months.” We have different fears.

    Client meeting over. Still no power in the office! Ausgrid are tearing up the footpath on Lower Fort St. Meanwhile, I’m going home. 🙂

    Anybody know of a place in Wollongong that will delivery Ben & Jerry’s? @drkknits really frickin’ deserves it.

    @Ausgrid Hey, I think most of my co-workers were happy for the chance to work from home on such a lovely day. So no complaints here. 😀

    @dancingman Don’t think so. Failed around 5pm last night; apparently 38 buildings affected. They were literally digging up footpath today.

    @pinkcatknits @drkknits I wish I could! I fortunately I’m in Sydney; not much I can do besides curse the dickhead responsible. 🙁

    @dancingman Does your secret info include the likelihood that it’ll be fixed (and I have to go to work) tomorrow? 🙂

    Silly me. I thought I’d be able to buy a postcard at @auspost. Instead it’s just toys, metal cupcake stands, and candy. I wish I was joking.

    I am the worst person in the world to offer advice to the heartbroken.

    Living dangerously: starting a knitting project without making sure you’ve got enough wool to finish.

    Yet the knitting gods have smiled, and I found one more ball. My chances of disappointing the Show judges are intact!

    Getting slightly worried that it’s 8:15 and the gardeners aren’t here. Am I actually going to have to go to work after all?

    Oh great. Builders finally wrote to say they’re *not* going to be here today. So I’m going to be hours late to work for nothing. Jerks.

    And now the cooktop repairman is here. Likely continuation of Monday suckage, or surprise turn of events?

    We have a working cooktop! I’ll never buy Blanco again, but I’ve got nothing but good things to say about @HarveyNormanAU. Thanks HN!

    @henrytapia @the_snook Nope. He just seemed happy he knew where to find manuals on their crappy website.
