    @gilmae You can get PINK gin in a can? 😳


    RT @johnb78: This is incredibly important (the whole thing is also worth a read) https://t.co/Ie31ACOoer https://t.co/QUtgSqDu7a


    @mseckington It’s quilted to look like knitting??! That’s AWESOME


    Every time a random, crappy, entitled recruiter spams me on LinkedIn, I appreciate more and more how great the folks are at @LookaheadSearch. (Unsolicited endorsement prompted by random entitled spammy recruiter.)

    😍 So happy to see my @oooobysyd box on the doorstep today! If you’d like to get fruit & veg delivery – and support a local biz – you should sign up. $20 off if you use my code GMMLGX https://t.co/osl5ZMGHAk https://t.co/SjJNaOyMH8


    @gilmae I think I get a $10 credit. But I’ve also chipped in an extra $10 on each order which they’re using to provide free boxes to folks who are out of work, etc. So consider it a freebie.


    RT @the_snook: @web_goddess @OooobySyd I have never in my life been so excited to see a potato.


    @WheelieGoodGame I’m okay. Turns out that getting a good night’s sleep makes a massive, massive difference. How are you??


    @notsolonecoder That’s not even a dark pattern… it’s just a stupid pattern. 😳


    @stevelikesyou @LookaheadSearch Ugh. It’s very frustrating. “I see there are roles in Brisbane.” “I’m in Sydney, not Brisbane, so I’m not the hiring manager.” “So how about you introduce me to whoever is?” Yeah, no. I find it mindblowing that people would just demand strangers intro them to colleagues.

    Started watching the 1967 David Niven “Casino Royale,” and that nonsense was INCOMPREHENSIBLE. (And weirdly racist towards Scottish people??) So we gave up in favour of the obvious… https://t.co/lqghZC4AjJ


    I sewed myself a T-shirt today. Nothing special; just a plain red vee-neck. But hey, it kept me from reading the news. https://t.co/YIESQMQfYO https://t.co/N8wdd32aTu


    @rikkiends A free pattern, in fact! The Mica T-shirt from Leila Jeyne Patterns: https://t.co/1VDRTNNQ4g. Knits can be tricky, but I found them much easier once I got an overlocker. I still struggle with the hems though.


    @rikkiends Once you make one, it’s incomprehensible how cheap they are sold given how much work is still involved. Somebody is being paid very little to make the ones in the shops. 😕

    RIP Kenny Rogers. (Last night the Snook and I debated whether the Gambler dies in the song. This morning I found the Muppet Show version, which definitively answers the question. Also SUPER WEIRD to see a Muppet smoking!)

    RT @HistoryMuppet: Rest In Peace to the legendary Kenny Rogers.

    Thank you for always lifting us up ❤️ https://t.co/iYlcMaBAEd

    You guys – my sister is a baker and she just invented Corona virus cake pops. 😂 I wonder if I could get pop rocks delivered?? #ronapops https://t.co/hMnfSemovM


    We are incredibly fortunate to be able to cook tasty food when the world is crazy. The Snook made pressure cooker beef ribs (that involved 1.5L of wine!!) that we paired with my cauliflower mash and zucchini, as well as zucchini bread for dessert. SO GOOD. 🍷 https://t.co/RHFDm9th24


    @shermozle https://t.co/5ELpropQVv We used cask wine and port. So delicious!


    Very effective illustration of the right way to wash your hands! https://t.co/rdlzCDKugO


    @Mandy_Kerr ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT


    @gcouprie What is that deliciousness?


    @hannahcancode @Amys_Kapers @developerjack @Qantas Virgin first announced they were gifting everybody status credits over the next year, and then the next day they added that they’re extending a year too.

    TFW you stagger out from the home office and discover treasure on the benchtop… ❤️🍞 https://t.co/NNj0GgVkx0 https://t.co/mZle6qQRKk


    RT @KFILE: What a damning indictment of Fox News from the Post video team here. https://t.co/r8Fz8vo5KV


    @gilmae 🤔


    End of day VC catchup with team, and in unthinking desperation for any conversation that isn’t virus-related I asked one of the guys if he’d caught any Pokemon lately. Sadly, he confirmed that COVID has been “a big cramp on the Pokemon lifestyle…” 😂 Best laugh I had all day.


    “Make Do and Mend.” 18yrs ago I moved to Oz, and since I couldn’t yet get a job, I hand sewed a quilt from old shirts and bedsheets. I was really proud of it. Over time some of the fabric started to wear through, so tonight I added the first patches… #visiblemending https://t.co/OeefZ8xDBS
