    Couch is gone! (Thank you @AndyPalmer!) Final tally – 21 items sold through FB Marketplace, 4 via Twitter, a few through our work colleagues, and 0 on Gumtree. That is not what I would have predicted two months ago!


    @randomknits That would be a hilarious troll for @the_snook tomorrow. “PSYCH! We’re not going anywhere. I just wanted you to sell a bunch of your shit.” 😂


    LOL, last dinner at home in Oz is a “clearing out the fridge” special – leftover Indian takeaway, a lone dill pickle floating in its jar, half a dozen Cadbury favourite rattling around their box, and a last few home brews!


    And now we’re drinking the dregs of the remaining liquor bottles…


    @paultook Thank you Paul! ❤️ My awesome purple Chef t-shirt is definitely coming with me…


    Now for the task we’ve been putting off for months… 😢❤️🐈 https://t.co/3jeLIU1nb7 https://t.co/234OZmH365

    The movers are here. 😳


    @chrisgander Best be quick. I know a lot of folks who already got them today, so I reckon the local market is flooded with kidneys. 😂


    @DVDBits Either that or we are hosting the 2020 Bubble Wrap Olympics in our house.


    All that’s left is the sofa! Anyone in Sydney need one? I’ll do you a great deal. (Frankly, the custom teak legs are worth more than I’m asking for it!) https://t.co/b0hHOU5Ny0 https://t.co/wCzhyX1AdT

    @charis This will be my third international move – though the first in, oh, 19 years! 😱


    Sydney Twitter – anyone have a recommendation for a good “end-of-lease” type cleaner?


    @bbkhbb Yes please!

    If anyone wants to record an album of, like, soft 70’s covers of Fleetwood Mac and the Bee Gees, may I suggest this photo of @carbolicious and myself for the cover. https://t.co/9cvHfj0rbB

    @msharp Unfortunately if anything I’m about to be moving to a *smaller* place, and looms tend to require more room than any of my other crafts…


    @msharp Could I get a pasty on this hypothetical visit? 🤔

    @hannahyanfield EXACTLY. We are at the stage of weighing luggage and FREAKING OUT.


    The very best going away gift from the very best of friends. I didn’t cry until I started reading the little notes tucked in each one… 😭❤️🧶 https://t.co/usMjr7btKU https://t.co/HrSbFlaL1j

    @The_McJones I’ve got one. It involves getting rid of 50% of your possessions. Kind of a grind, but also super rewarding in the end. (I’m only half joking.)


    @The_McJones Yes, exactly! Or you can use Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace or the dreaded Ebay, but each one takes a toll on your mental health.


    @The_McJones YES. Ooh, I really like this idea of joy as the metric. Something you inherited from Grandma but you don’t actually want? Useless things that are personally meaningful? We might be onto something here.


    My team leaving drinks was a virtual cocktail making class. It was so much fun. ❤️🍸🤗 https://t.co/47feStUzf5 https://t.co/AWnvgdxxVy


    Back to Highlander. This is some pretty impressive stuff for the 80s! https://t.co/aqXPzgQeC2


    This makeup is both horrifying and awesome. https://t.co/3CEm1ScJGo


    Suddenly realising where the Snook’s hoarding tendencies come from. Maybe I married an immortal. https://t.co/eWdx4tYhyD


    For all the cool mythology of this, it intimately comes down to the fact that the bad guy defiled his old girlfriend and kidnapped his new one. 🙄 https://t.co/1WQyvPW0Up


    Forget all this. I want a comic book showing Rachel and Connor’s life together. https://t.co/r6j6Fc0MGO

    WTF. Where was Connor through all this?? https://t.co/Yziz4aPD6T


    @lemon_lime We are 2/3 through, and I have to say, I’m enjoying it. I actually kind of like the mythology of it. The effects suck, but the soundtrack is awesome and it’s very 80s atmospheric.


    @knitterjp Lol – Rodd told me ALL about the sequel. Insane!

    @knitterjp Well, my first questions was – how is he even in it at all?! 😂


    @knitterjp I mean more that his character doesn’t survive the first movie, and the whole plot revolves around the fact that “there can be only one” – so would seem to preclude sequel appearances!!

    Only one week until we head to Munich… and only a few days after that until I join the @awscloud DevRel team and can officially call @jeffbarr and @adrianco teammates! 🎉


    @jennapederson Technically finishing up this Friday so I’ve got a week, but that will include finishing up packing the house and then travel!


    @BugHunterSam @MsJonesInSydney I suffer from insomnia and take melatonin. It’s prescription-only in Oz (the OOTC stuff is homeopathic nonsense), but you can get it easily in any drugstore in the States. So every time I visit my fam, I pick up a few bottles. I find it works well for me.


    @MsJonesInSydney @BugHunterSam No, not at all. It’s not a sleeping pill like temazipam, which I’ve also taken. It seems like it just helps me fall asleep a little easier, and not wake up so many times in the night.
