    Modern 9th anniversary gift is meant to be leather. I think I chose well. #handysmurf #phwoar


    Ready for Thanksgiving! (Coworkers get the pretty one; Mr Snook gets the cracked one.)

    Huh. A couple people at work are suggesting that I may have been concussed when the ocky strap hit me Saturday. It’s possible.


    Fun delivery at work today… Too bad it didn’t come with any games! http://t.co/1nJ5jPMpLj


    @drkknits http://t.co/vF0HE8Wl6U.


    I may have an available ticket for Mandy Patinkin + Nathan Gunn tonight at the Opera House at 8pm. Anybody interested?


    @stufromoz @Feistywenchyone You’re not helping me! Sadly, it looks like Mr Snook will have to come whether he feels up to it or not…


    Continental knitters: do you hold your left index finger up to tension wool? Does that get painful? What’s an alternative? *cracks knuckles*


    Mandy Patinkin and Nathan Gunn in concert! (@ Sydney Opera House – @sohnews w/ 6 others) http://t.co/6lLnLJfW4u


    Lady behind me: “Was he doing Zorro?” Me: “That was Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride. You MUST see it.” #philistines


    @mikeefreedom At the Opera House, just after seeing Mandy Patinkin sing for 2 hours.

    As we were leaving, I heard the old lady behind me: “And what was that he did? Zorro?” I turned around. “It was Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride. You really must see it.”

    So yeah. Mandy did it, and it was awesome. I also particularly liked “Cat’s in the Cradle,” the John Wilkes Booth bit from Assassins, the Music Man song, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and when he did Jolson. Great, GREAT night.

    The upside to crippling stomach pain is you can get in some serious knitting time. #corrugated

    @ozdj That is, indeed, The Shit. (Where’d you get it?)


    @drkknits It’s always the 4th Thursday in November! This week.


    @insertjokehere Ugh. It’s totally gross, but I think one of mine has a thing for ear wax.


    @drkknits Not 100%, but not doubled over in pain. Figure that’s about as good as it’s gonna get right now.


    @drkknits @ozdj I couldn’t find cans at DJ’s this year, so making my own. Steamed pumpkin flesh yesterday!

    @KathrynElliott I have tried to learn to love/like/tolerate celery many times. I just can’t. IT’S AWFUL.


    RT @taybenlor: Hey cleaners, I’m holding a cleaning hackathon at my house this weekend. There will be cleaning mentors and lots of cleaning…

    Crippling stomach pain and nausea for 36hrs. My first duodenitis flare-up in years. This sucks.


    @zephyrama I’ve tested neg for H.pylori several times. Mine’s due to reflux. Nexium has held it at bay, mostly. 🙁


    @sydmovingguide I did the full turkey dinner our first year. Never again! It’s too darn hot.


    @zephyrama Yep. So what’s this slippery elm? Get from health food store or chemist? I’ll try anything.

    @drkknits Can you get budget for an assistant? 🙂


    @drkknits I can say hello, order food, and tell people to fuck off in Korean. Does that qualify me as a translator? 🙂


    Hit myself on forehead with ocky strap. Ow.


    @mattallen Unpacking a ute. Forgot to get my head out of recoil zone.


    On our way to @knitdra’s place. Apologies in advance for being late!!

    @toastman I’m sorry to hear it. We were literally just wondering about this like 15 minutes ago. Hope you’re okay.


    Busy day. Grocery shop, ute to Marrickville to pick up furniture, then Bunnings, over to Wahroonga for @knitdra’s BBQ, & visit Nanny at San!


    @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits Did they have pumpkin pies??
