@zedsains Ah, it’s restricted by IP address to the office. Maybe @venks79 can help?
Having lunch at a lookout over Mittagong. Left @redambition at our place; halfway to @bellsknits’s place! http://twitpic.com/1citsi
@randomknits Hey, we’re going tomorrow too! What time you guys getting in the queue?
@randomknits Look for us there. We’re aiming for closer to 8 and we’re bringing chairs. 🙂
BIG MERINO! http://twitpic.com/1cjtiv
@bellsknits We just pulled in! Fee is on her way.
@NatGalleryAus So for tomorrow, we’re better off going later in the day? That would be nice!
Hm. @NatGalleryAus says current Q is 40min, & open til 9pm all weekend. Perhaps best NOT to Q up 1st thing tomorrow!!
@randomknits @Kat13v Theyre open til 9 this weekend! Q looks shorter later in day, so we may pass on morning lineup.

Going to bed, and I miss the stupid cats. Give ’em a cuddle, @redambition. 🙂

Canberra bound.
Light posting this Easter weekend, as the Snook and I are heading to the national capital. We’re meeting Eileen tonight at the airport and tomorrow we’re going to see the Masterpieces from Paris Exhibition. Special thanks to Bells and Sean for letting us stay in their house, and to Issy for catsitting at our place!
I leave you with a photo of me and a giant concrete sheep. Yes, really. IT’S THE BIG MERINO!

@gusseting Hurry up your moseying! The adoring public awaits your arrival. 🙂
Happy 10th anniversary to the Snook. Getting to spend a decade with your best friend is a wonderful thing. http://twitpic.com/1ccj6a
Snookums is playing with his new espresso machine. Very strange and scary sounds are coming from the kitchen…

OCCA Google Maps
Oh man. I wish Google Maps really did get OCCA. That would be fun for our trip to Canberra. 🙂

Happy anniversary, Snookums.
It was 10 years ago today that I found out my work visa to stay in London had been approved. It was 10 years ago today that I went out and celebrated with my co-workers at a succession of dodgy pubs and clubs in Hammersmith and Fulham. It was 10 years ago today that I finally kissed the cute boy in the office that I liked.
How lucky that he also turned out to be my best friend! Happy first decade, Snookums. May we have many more together.
The photo was taken on my iPhone with this app. I am on an iPhone photo app bender here lately.

RunningBlog: Week 13
This week saw my longest run yet: a scheduled 16km (10 mile) run on Sunday. I headed to Centennial Park as usual and managed 2.5 laps around. I did 2:1 run/walk ratio the whole way, and it was fantastic. I felt much better than I did the previous week (where I did 3:1 for 13km). My legs didn’t cramp and my overall average was actually faster! I was having some stomach pain though, and somehow I managed to lose one of my water belt bottles. Still, I got it done. This week is a cutback week, which I’ve been looking forward to.
Mar. 27: 5.34km
Mar. 28: 16.72km
Mar. 31: 5.35km
Total this week: 27.41km (17mi)
Total in 2010: 264.32km (165mi)We are officially one-quarter of the way through the year, which means I should be at 250km to meet my 1000km goal. Looks like I’m about 14km ahead of pace. Woooo!

Health Reform is a BFD
How much do I LOVE that one of the commemorative health reform T-shirt options on Barack Obama’s website is “Health Reform is a BFD”? And how much do I want one? Answer: SO DAMN MUCH.
