@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim @knitterjp @knitdra Oh, I’ve already paid for it. 😛

---

@imdominating Holy crap. Well done!

---

Coffee and bicycles? Awesome. (@ Atelier de Vélo) http://t.co/Gqr3mUTt

---

I just unlocked the Level 2 “Fresh Brew” badge on @foursquare! In it to win it! http://t.co/IfhcDj3J

---

Bike shopping in the city… http://t.co/ZeTaq5Nl #pose @Gap

---

Discovered Clarence St Cyclery has good sale on… so, I got a bike! It was more than last car I bought. (Granted, Renault Encores = cheap.)

---

@supercres I pick it up at 5pm. Pics are definitely forthcoming. 🙂

---

This is the bike I got: http://t.co/PdiwUuaB

---

@makarakarn @bowenvale321 It’s this one: http://t.co/w20QoQnk. Picking it up at 5pm!

---

@randomknits The ones with basket and streamers were like $400 more and weighed a TON. I decided to be practical.

---

@gilmae I think I can put one on later if I want… 🙂

---

@venks79 Thanks! Going to pick it up now and have a practice ride. 🙂

---

My new bike! I need to give her a name… http://t.co/rs7GYd8X

---

@jezfletcher I didn’t! I hadn’t even planned on buying a bike today, much less a blue one. 🙂

---

@jezfletcher There may have been a psychological component. But this model only came in blue…

---

Yes, I think “Tiffany” is a very good name for a blue bicycle. (Brilliant idea from @gadgetgirl70!)

---

Many thanks to Penny & Claire at @thecyclery and Mike at @atelierdevelo for helping today. LOVING my new Trek 2012 7.4 Fx bike!

---

@witty_knitter @SandraHW Yikes! Hope she (and you) are okay!

---

WTF. Loud bangs in Chippo again. Gunshots? Repeatedly tonight. Always in groups of 2.

---

@richbuggy That is the simplest explanation, I agree. Just a little loud and scary!

Outcome of yesterday’s 8K bike ride: my butt is SORE. Guess I’m going to have to get used to it…

---

@bowenvale321 Thanks. Any tips for must-have bike commute essentials? So far I’ve just got helmet & lock. Snook has tire pump already…

---

Beer, burger, cricket, sunshine… (@ Camperdown Hotel (HQ)) http://t.co/3C140Tzm

---

@blakkat We did that this year and haven’t regretted it a bit!

---

@nehadk @DDsD My Mom (in the US) is on an iPhone, so I can send her free SMS from mine. Also a ton of apps (for other platforms) that do it.

---

@Mecca_Espresso Heya, are any of the Syd CBD coffee bars open tomorrow? I need a caffeine fix!! (cc @randomknits @gilmae)

---

@Mecca_Espresso @atelierdevelo Sounds great! Thanks for the quick reply. 🙂

---

Um, anybody know what that giant loud bang we just heard in Chippendale was??

---

Homemade “Boathouse Snapper Pie” courtesy of @the_snook. Took a lot longer to make than eat! http://t.co/K0V4DVpT

---

@codepo8 I wouldn’t have guessed you were one of those “Bro-ny” guys!

---

@misswired Whoa! That was a couple hours later tho, so probably unrelated.

---

I really should know better than to look at the Destash thread. But if I don’t, then @mrs_sockvictim will own ALL the Felted Tweed!

---

On hold with @auspost waiting to see if anybody found my drivers license at Strawberry Hills. Crossing my fingers…

---

Nope. Nothing. Really annoyed at @auspost worker who managed to lose it in 30 seconds. Going to cost me to replace. 🙁

---

@Soma377 Eh. I’m kinda mostly over Dahl now. The site makes a tidy little income, but I don’t have the energy to devote to it/him anymore.

---

Pub knitting time! I need a burger and a beer, like NOW.

---

@indefensible That’s double my record. What the hell did you actually buy??

---

Had a lovely nana nap on the couch to sleep off the midday beers. *yawn* That was nice.

---

@GeorgieKnits Zucchini bread! Best ever. My recipe is here: http://t.co/stHMJ2ZM

---

On our way to Marrickville to see @neilhimself’s show. A little culture to balance out all the beer and cricket of the last 3 days…

---

It’s all geeks in Threadless t-shirts, as far as the eye can see. Just heard some girl squeal: “I got his AUTOGRAPH in my MOLESKINE!”

---

RT @laimelde: Coaxed myself to Neil’s show… But have already run into one person I know, so, things might improve. // That was ME!

---

It’s events like this that make me realise I’m kind of a self-hating geek.

---

Ahhhh, so this is where all the Android users are. More than I’ve seen in the wild before. Must be a goth thing.

---

@randomknits Wish you were here too! Some of these people are freakin’ me out.

---

Waves at @laimelde from row M….

---

RT @neilhimself: Fourplay doing their version of the Doctor Who theme always makes me happy and goose-flesh prickly at the same time.

---

Seriously, that was like the string quarter equivalent of “Sabotage.” Fourplay rock HARD.

---

@madradish I don’t know their stuff well enough to confirm! But it was pretty damn epic.

---

@madradish Wait! According to @laimelde , that’s exactly what it was. 🙂

---

Says @the_snook: “These events always make me want to go home and shave and cut my hair.”

---

Neil Gaiman doing a reading with Fourplay backing him up. Pretty thrilling. http://t.co/uMsD1tKD

---

Snook: “Asphincter says MEOWWWW?” Petey: “Meow!” @the_snook falls over laughing. “Exactly.”

---

Just found out my Mom had to put down the dog today. Lucy was very old and in a lot of pain. Such a good little dog. Going to hug my cat…

---

Still shaking my head that someone on Channel 9 cricket production team chose Porno for Pyros to play during an ad transition.

---

@quietdiscourse If I see that Bupa ad one more time, I’m going to choke my healthier self to death.

---

My Norman Lindsay knitting series continues. Sam Sawnoff lives! http://t.co/zF5bCusX

---

@supercres First one is good, but I liked each sequel less and less.

---

@jezfletcher @sarahhazelton Hahaha… Keep her away from loose seals.

---

Ventured into CBD to shop but was denied at every turn. How can Lincrap be all out of polyfill?

---

Met up with Albie tho to get all the wool industry goss. Surprised to hear M&S are now official Oz distributors of Zauberball!

---

Other big news: ACS closing down woollen mill. No more commercial wool production happening in Australia. Pretty sad.

---

@randomknits @knitterjp It was the first I’d heard. Apparently like 40 ppl being laid off. It’ll devastate Wangaratta, he said. 🙁

---

SIDDLE. YOU ARE KILLING ME.

---

RT @randomknits: @web_goddess @knitterjp 49 jobs, apparently 🙁 http://t.co/AI65roWn

---

Yowza! Tendulkar is out. What a champion. I’m barracking for Australia, but I would have liked to see him get the 100th century.

---

So I went temporarily insane today & bought my first ever maxi dresses. Basically giant tank tops. http://t.co/U4X9Y4pQ http://t.co/LvOZ6ky4

---

@AusVintageGrrl What I hear is that they don’t spin anything here. It’s all imported in cones these days.

---

@randomknits @gilmae Friday’s fine for me! I’ll be around. I can easily run into the city…

---

@kcarruthers Yet judging by the article, they don’t appear to help with the problem of grocers’ apostrophes…
