2.15 pm, Sunday. The sun is out, and I’m outside sitting on my patio with a mug of lemon balm tea (just makes a change from coffee, and I’ve had 4 mugs already). I think a beer might be a good idea next…

Just repaired a leaking, fuse-blowing Jura by finding the leak and replacing a broken O-ring. Probably 25 cents compared to approximately $500 if I had sent the machine back for servicing. Tomorrow morning's espresso is going to taste extra good. #coffee #jura #repair

This is the life. I'm sat in my lovely orange bucket chair that the cats are doing their best to shred, drinking coffee with chocolate milkshake in it and listening to the not-so-distant hum of tree surgery, and making connections all over the world. Honestly I could sit here all day. Have a great Thursday and if it's not so great I wish you moral support for what you have to deal with. And have a video of Tails nosing about in the car. Volume up for the purrrrrs. She tiny but she LO…

Democratic lawmakers are demanding that the Department of Homeland Security turn over records
and fully cooperate with an investigation into the death of
Nurul Amin Shah Alam,
a nearly blind Rohingya refugee who died after US border agents
left him outside a closed coffee shop on a freezing night in Buffalo earlier this year.
At a press conference in Buffalo on Friday,
standing just a few feet away from where Shah was found dead,
Tim Kennedy of New Y…

Democrats demand DHS documents in investigation into Rohingya refugee’s death
Lawmakers condemn agency for ‘obstructing the pursuit of juice’ over death of nearly blind Nurul Amin Shah Alam

Gonna be a weird week here. I need to fly to Pittsburgh Wednesday for my father’s funeral, but in the meantime we’re just living life as usual. A play, soccer and a play this weekend, and a concert tonight. Breakfast: Marie did waffles egg bacon tea coffee. #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/wxCgEHvpTvyXwhGy6

It's a lovely spring morning in Ōtautahi. Just hung out the laundry and checked on the skinks - saw 3. It's food for the soul. Now a coffee as I settle back into work. #WorkFromHome

My wife and kids are away for a couple of days leaving me alone at our place [well me and the cat]. This morning I woke up and on autopilot I made two coffees (I always make a coffee for my wife, since I get up first). Only when I finished did I realise what I had done.
On the plus side, two coffees for me! And apparently I needed two anyway for my brain to work properly.
The takeaway from this story is that everything worked out just great.

Just got this in an email. No idea who he is other than his YouTube tag, theRealTexasPaul. https://youtube.com/shorts/HYKNnmEFAZE?is=kO-Arh5QUXOScJo8

Weekend was chill, just a meeting with the state DOT, soccer watch, and a hike. Back to work today with Marie’s rhubarb scones, egg bacon tea coffee. House game night later! #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/irLDSsibHnmdDoNd8

It’s just approaching midnight and I’m drinking coffee. Caveat: I’m still at work until 2am.

#today I have had a nice bath, just got a 'flu jab, on my first cup of coffee, and now aiming to complete a £50k grant application today without saying the words "spend it all down 'Spoons on 99p pints"...

Marie made bread over the weekend, so today I made egg-in-the-hole. Bacon egg tea coffee. Just mahjong tonight! #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/knDZXuuz92nPq5mB7

Just finished re-reading volume 1 of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou by Hitoshi Ashinano in English official translation, checked out from one of my local libraries. It's really cool to see lots of the excellent Japanese stuff that I read through fan translations mostly online in the 2000s and 2010s not only come out as an official translation, but make their way onto library shelves for random people to discover without having to be deep into Japanese culture fandom.
YKK is of course a pretty legendary manga, and even though I'd read it before, it had been a while and the manga is so much more feelings-based than plot-based that it was at least as enjoyable the second time through. Ashinano's sweeping curves that capture the wide open landscapes of Minato are beautiful, and her characters also capture a particular feeling of freedom and kindness that's lovely to immerse oneself in. It's the kind of world where you understand immediately that the gun is just a memento and doesn't represent any kind of violence, foreshadowed or otherwise. Calm down, Chekhov, have a coffee, and get with the extremely relaxing times.

just saw an ad for a “coffee cafe”. you know, as opposed to the non-coffee kind

Sunday Morning. 09.45 am now. Been awake for some time, but only just got to sit down at the computer. Made coffee first of course. It’s a bright sunny day, currently 67° outside and a few degrees warmer inside. Windows are open though, to have some nice fresh air through the house since being shut overnight.
