Baby ducks are growing. #2 daughter says a friend might be interested in one as they had two but one died and the other is getting lonely.

It’s been ages since I had a good coffee. Hmm, going for a haircut this afternoon – I could be really indulgent and ask them to get me a coffee?? Nah.. just doesn’t feel right. Not the sort of thing my mum would do, at ALL. Say, do you ever get old enough to NOT hear your mum’s voice in your head, if you are at the shops and considering an impulse buy?? :D

I took the decos off the tree last night, but was too flaked out by the heat to take the tree outside. Maybe tonight… hot again though.

There’s a really good coffee specialist next door to my hairdressers so if you don’t want their instant variety they’ll go next door and buy you one. With your money though.

I think that’s what my hairdresser does too.. I always just say no because.. coffee? at the hairdresser?! It just doesn’t feel right!! But I think I may have to learn to ignore my mother’s voice (I am slowly teaching myself how to buy something I want, even if I haven’t been planning to get it for months), and INDULGE!

Part of my job at dad’s salon is to get the coffees and teas. Trust me it’s normal and acceptable to say yes. We give them a little piece of homemade fruitcake with their coffee/tea too.

Hehe. In that case I’ll have to start thinking about what impact I’m going to have on them. I do love the fact that my mum instilled me with an intense disliking for shopping (all those hours being dragged through Myers and DJs, and then she couldn’t find anything anyway!!), as it saves me lots of money.

On the rare occasion that I do see something I like though, I have to really talk myself into buying it – even if it’s only $10 and I really like it – because it’s an “impulse buy”. Getting better at this :D

When I would go home to see my mum…… I usually came away feeling 5 years old and thinking why did I say that and wish I didn’t say that…..sigh. At one stage Almost Mrs. Bimbo was older than me when we left to go home…..sigh.

Cool. I’m trying to justify buying a new grinder (with fine med’ coarse grind adjustment) with an enclosed catcher..the one I have drops the grind into an open bin and fine grinds end up everywhere. Sick of wiping them up.

Oh coffee is a bit thing to the elf…. lol an electric percolator moved into my place weeks before the owner did.

My nephew spent several hundred on an Italian coffee machine. It makes great coffee but I couldn’t justify spending that much myself.

Elf’s is a regular peculator. However my cappuccino maker is a sweet little number……. but not automatic though….. that are so dear and those flovoured ones can’t be used in all the flash ones…only in the HUGELY expensive ones.

Why can’t you use the flavoured grind in the percolator ?
I have.

I want one of those coffee machines you see in cafe’s, plumbed in the works, grinder attached….on my lotto list.

At the previous job they had a “DeLonghi Magnifica” coffee machine. LCD readout, ground the beans and made it how you liked it in different cup sizes. Made a niiiice cuppa.

They went through two of them in less than 3 years, so maybe the $1700 asking price was a bit savage…

On one of those big machines, I can churn out 2 cuppacinos in roughly 10 seconds.

I trained as a barista in my younger days, every machine has its own personality and can take a disliking to some people. They need to be handled very carefully, and their egos must be stroked if you want a decent cup.

Oh coffee is a bit thing to the elf…. lol an electric percolator moved into my place weeks before the owner did.

My nephew spent several hundred on an Italian coffee machine. It makes great coffee but I couldn’t justify spending that much myself.

I think I mentioned before that #1 daughter and SIL had a coffee machine installed in their new kitchen. Pure luxury to have on hand every day and certainly a success when there is a crowd of people there for Christmas. $5000 worth but if you can afford it is a great thing to indulge in.

Didn’t know you were working away from gardening Horty.

Dad asked me to help out when he brought in a new certified organic skin care range. When his offsider isn’t there he can’t wash hair and answer the phone at the same time, so I’m there all day Tuesday and then on Thurs I work from 2pm til 7pm. It’s a nice break from being in the heat. I call them my rest days – even though I never stop, it’s all light work so easy on the back. My official position is receptionist but I’m also skincare consultant, tea lady, cleaner and general dogsbody all rolled into one. The other days are all gardening.

Oh dear, you’re a lost cause, LOL!

I have two indoor only cats and I love them to pieces. I must admit, I don’t like OTHER people’s ROAMING cats – fighting, yowling, setting my dogs off, killing my frogs and birds and shitting in my garden, but more so I don’t like the owners for letting them do all of that.

I got involved in a major debate on my dog forum about roaming cats, there’s a bunch of us who all have indoor cats or enclosures and we just don’t get how in this day and age, anyone could risk the life of their cat/s by letting them roam.

Also my best friend hit a cat with her car years ago and came home in tears, she’d looked in the rear view mirror and seen it dragging itself off the road, so she and I grabbed torches and thick jackets (it was a cold winter night) and traipsed back off to search for it in the bush in the dark so we could take it to the vet, even if only to be humanely put to sleep. We never found it, but I’ll never forget the impact it had on her. Cat inside = it would never have happened, and she would never have had to go through that trauma.

oky doky, now I don’t like Coffee, so often in order to create a “by-product”, one has to create the “product” and often the “by-product” is only a small amount compared to the masses of “product” created. Now as I don’t enjoy coffee and can’t see a reason why anyone could love the stuff, I find it crazy that you would go into coffee production in order to obtain the “by-product”.

Because if there were a way to control slaters using coffee, that’s what I’d be using!!!

There is a shop near here that sells green beans. I roast my own to the exact flavour I like, took some experimenting but I have it down pat now. Planted 7 coffee trees in the front yard, in a few years I will be the coffee queen.

Well done, you will become like all those people who brew their own beer…. :P

It wasn’t easy! lol. Working quickly chopping veges , reach for the knife, owww.. then knock boiling cup of tea over with other hand lol. Both hands bandaged but ok, can work with gloves on. I don’t get out of cooking that easily! lol. And I think I might be looking for a new set of knives. It was the knife’s fault..true. When I set one of these particular knives down quite quickly, it flips onto it’s spine with the blade side up. A major fault and it means they arn’t correctly balanced.
