    Storm at Sea (with Babies)
    I think this might actually be the highlight of my brief career as a quilter. Yesterday we were at a barbecue with many of the Snook’s college friends, a group which for the first time included two actual babies. (We’re all growing up!) Nick went to get a blanket for Chloe and Seraphina to play on, and as he shook it out, he said, “Do you recognise this?”

    That’s the quilt I made them for their wedding seven years ago! I was so happy. “You actually use it?” “We use it just about every day!” I think that’s probably the highest thing a handmade quilt could hope for. To be given in love and friendship at the start of a life together, and many years later to be spread out for the babies to crawl on. Isn’t that lovely?

  • RunningBlog: Week 50

    My legs still feel like they’re on the verge of giving out, so I took things very easy this week. Spudds was on holiday so I skipped my usual two sessions there. I only did two runs and I kept things real slow (even doing run/walk on one of them).

    Nov. 14: 6.04km
    Nov. 16: 6.84km
    Total this week: 12.88km (8.05mi)
    Total in 2010: 951.99km (595mi)

    So that’s just under 50km (31mi) to go… in two weeks. Uh-oh.

    @jannism OI! YOU! POMMY! Knock er off! (Pissed.) But lay off our Ponting. He can’t help that he’s a leprechaun.

    TIME TO KILL HOGGER.

    @tinkabel Shock! I didn’t get to kill him. The Marshal apprehended him first!

    The question is: by wearing my old prom dress, did I ordain that someone would act like my high school ex-boyfriend? Because that was lame.

    @mrs_sockvictim Hm. If my hangover clears by then, I could be persuaded…

    @carbocommander Best of luck with the transition, Dan Carbo!

    I just ousted @langeluddecke as the mayor of Big Boy Thai 2 on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/5TCdxf

    @carbolicious That is just WRONG. They have some in Sydney that are always full of bogan teenagers on their way to prom.

    Last minute wardrobe change for today’s work Xmas party. Demure and Age-Appropriate swapped for Sparkly Punk Princess. #promdressstillfits

    Hey @131500buses! 461 just blew past me at Broadway ignoring waving and shouting. Not full. Plenty of room at the stop. WHAT GIVES?!
