    @knitdra Hyams Beach at Jervis Bay!


    We found it – the whitest sand beach in the world. @ Hyams Beach http://t.co/PNkEzmbnoE


    You can smell the serenity. @ Hyams Beach http://t.co/4ld5qsO0XG


    @randomknits I ate NO foods on sticks this year. I just wasn’t tempted by any of it!


    RT @the_snook: @web_goddess on the beach. It’s kinda windy here. http://t.co/xraN67lDa4


    We appear to have lost @eileenDCoE and Sophie. The Snook wonders if a shark ate them.


    @randomknits Tornado potato!!!

    I unlocked the “Naan-Sense” badge on @foursquare for checking into Indian restaurants. Chicken Tikka Masala me! Stat! http://t.co/fQRb2NGXk4


    Fantastic Indian food! With Rodd and @eileendcoe. (@ JJ’s Indian Restaurant) [pic]: http://t.co/ORpmw1TzGM


    Women of Twitter: we’re taking a poll. Can you do a cartwheel? Secondary question: how tall are you? #science


    The argument, you see, is whether height makes a difference. @eileenDCoE and I are tall, and we cannot do cartwheels.


    @zephyrama Yes. We think our center of gravity is too high. A Short Person thinks otherwise.


    A Short Person maintains that she can teach @eileenDCoE and me to cartwheel. I maintain that I have the arm strength of a tyrannosaur.


    A secondary hypothesis was that breast size played a role (poss. related to center of gravity). But judging from responses: not a factor.


    @codepo8 They’re big in Sydney too.

    Another SMH article pointing out dangers of sugars (as opposed to fat): http://t.co/JX573wRD (cc @drkknits)


    @redambition @drkknits Most folks don’t eat a few pieces of fruit a day though. They have a jumbo Boost juice that might as well be Coke!


    @drkknits I was actually admiring this the other day: http://t.co/4GnNqjXj IT’S GORGEOUS.


    Very proud that @the_snook complimented me on dealing with trolls today. Not sure if I’m growing up or just getting lazy though.


    You should follow @shanea – he just ran his first half-marathon! #followfriday


    You should also follow @JennaPrice – or as I will always think of her, Minerva McGonagall. #followfriday


    @drkknits Ah, I don’t think you were witness to my truly epic forbearance in the face of a partyline spouting Liberal.


    Friday night in The Rocks. Yowza. @ Bar 100 http://t.co/GsDpG7cB


    I am awake. Gahhhhhh….. My head.


    @PortugueseChook I am about to test your hypothesis.


    RT @AdamBandt: Really? What PM wears & what Tony Abbott thinks about it = news? Wldn’t happen if the PM was a bloke. Let’s get out of t …


    @shanea Coincidentally, yes. But it was the champagne and martini that put me over the top, I think.

    Spudds made me box continuously for two minutes. I can barely lift my arms now. HOW AM I GOING TO FINISH THAT STUPID CARDY?!


    @makarakarn Heh. I’ll just pop some muscle relaxers and go to work. Cardy might turn out a bit surreal though… 🙂


    @DDsD Where did THAT come from? BOM forecast this morning was totally clear. I made the Snook ride his bike to work! Eeek.


    @redambition Oh, dear god. I felt ready to vomit after two. Three would’ve killed me!


    @laimelde Storm! Pretty apocalyptic looking clouds from where I’m sitting.


    My desk neighbour lent me a Bieber remix CD. OH YEAH, WHO’S DANCING NOW?


    @imdominating Why you gotta hate? Even Tina Fey said she wanted to give him a bath. 🙂


    Now I’m dancing to Kee-dollar sign-ha. Yes, I’d judge me too.


    Crossing all my fingers and all my toes…


    @lemon_lime NEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD.


    For the record, I’m barracking for India tonight in the cricket… mostly because @kunaal84, @venks79, & @rajsingh2505 will yell if I don’t!


    @kunaal84 No news. Hope your stress levels pay off better than mine!!


    @SallyPompom Oh Sally, I’m so sorry for your Mother. I hope your flight goes smoothly and you’re with her soon..,


    @jasony Me! Me! Wait… Damn.


    RT @rajsingh2505: Sydney buses, I HATE YOU // This made me laugh. (It helps if you know Raj is one of the nicest people in the world.)


    I love the News Quiz, but I HATE the Now Show. Seriously, it’s worse than Good News Week. Why do I keep downloading it?


    @knitterjp I have discovered that the collar of this thing is, like, 25% of the knitting. I’m still going. Coming down to the wire!


    @knitterjp Of course, this means I’ll most likely only have ONE out of my three entries actually ready to submit. HUBRIS STRIKES AGAIN!


    I wore my red lippie today. @seanchadwick just referred to me as “Hot Lips Houlihan.” HA!
