    Sock class is going great! Everybody is nearly finishing their first socks… http://twitpic.com/k159n

    This is what camp is like in Australia. http://twitpic.com/k1en0

    Me with some of the knitters I’m teaching. http://twitpic.com/k1xum

    Another nature sighting! Tiny baby rabbit. Watch out for the goannas, bunny!

    I’ve even managed to get some knitting done today. Sheri’s Posies Socks by WendyKnits: http://twitpic.com/k26mu

    @Kat13v I saw 3D! Not sure whether it was super better, but it was less distracting than I feared.

    Great 1st day at knitting camp. Taught my class, ran, saw roos, knitted, did yoga, drank wine. Looking forward yo tomorrow. #fb

    @redambition Sharre’s birthday?? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @sharre!!!

    @witty_knitter @kat13v All good so far, though it appears SWMBO is avoiding us…

    The question is: will iPhone auto-update for daylight savings? Or am I going to oversleep an hour tomorrow?

    iPhone is set to auto update time. I will Trust in Steve.

    Today I’m learning the Knit 1 Below technique. Challenging at first, but fun once you get going. http://twitpic.com/k5uj7

    Had another wildlife sighting. A Huntsman spider and I had a standoff in my room this morning. We’re buddies now.

    If somebody wants to give me a Google Wave invite, I will happily handknit them a custom pair of socks.

    @that_alison I saw that. I’m not much bothered though. I figured I’d just throw it out there in case anybody had any that were unclaimed. 🙂

    @Bex_the_Femme Heehee. I thought of it the day after it happened, but then it got too played. But it’s come out the other side again!

    Heading out to Knitting Guild Camp!

    BEHOLD! If you’re reading this, we have achieved Internet at knitting camp. The wine is flowing. http://twitpic.com/jy0gs

    @Kat13v So far no controversy, but our little friend is definitely watching Twitter. (It was the first thing she said tonight.)

    Just completed a 4.13 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/25e8cy #RunKeeper

    Went for a run with @mrs_sockvictim and saw two kangaroos and a Joey! http://twitpic.com/k0acp

    Article on barefoot running in the SMH: http://bit.ly/14HdW0 (Attn: @IronBrandon and @steverunner !)

    @runkeeper Trying to upload pic, but profile page is saying my username (web-goddess) has invalid chars! Do I have to change names?

    This is too much stress going into a 3 day weekend. My stomach is starting to hurt. #fb

    ZOMG. Just passed big movie premiere on George St. RALPHIE IS IN SYDNEY AND I MISSED IT! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078940/

    461 driver just blew past Broadway despite me waving frantically. I’m also carrying like 50lbs of gear for Guild Camp, so I’m PISSED.

    @knitterjp Ha! It would be easier if I weren’t dragging several thousands of dollars worth of electronics in a wheelie bag.

  • H1N1 Vaccine

    Hey Aussies, it appears that we’re all getting a free swine flu vaccine. My doctor offered it to me this morning but apparently Broadway hasn’t received their stock yet. (I did get my dip/tet/per booster this morning, as my recent whooping cough test showed that my childhood immunisation had worn off.)

  • Congratulations Eileen!

    Congratulations RT!
    It was just over FOURTEEN YEARS ago when I nervously walked into my freshman year dorm room and met Eileen, my roommate. I’d never met anyone from New England before – much less from Boston – so the Dunne family were a little overwhelming! Eileen and I got along great, dorm room fires notwithstanding. We had Biology together, which was super useful because I never would’ve passed without her helping me on those damn lab reports. I just didn’t understand how she could like it so much. But Eileen was sure from Day One that she was going to be a biology major, and I really admired that she knew what she wanted to do. She has stuck to that ever since. The last six years of grad school have been tough, and I knew there were times when she wanted to throw in the towel. She stuck it out though, and as of yesterday my very own Roomater has earned her PhD! Congratulations, Dr. Dunne! And the best thing is, she flies out here in one week so I can toast her in person.

  • Garden Update

    Garden Update: The broad beans have sprouted! Everything looks to be relishing the warmer weather and sunshine. Coffee grounds seem to be doing a good job of repelling the slugs.

  • Vita-Wonka

    A photographer has been travelling the world, taking photos of all the oldest living things. She should be collecting it all to make Vita-Wonk!

  • Baby Koalas

    There are some super cute new baby koalas over at Taronga…

  • Swish and flick!

    Whoa. A magic wand that is actually a TV remote with an accelerometer? That is so cool! I could be swish-and-flicking my way through Seinfeld each night. (Link courtesy of not marth.)
