Friday is out of office

Whereas I am currently sat IN my office, but quite enjoying the PEACE AND QUIET before the festivities start in earnest tonight :disco:
 
Two days into my holiday and I pretty much just need to wrap and tidy.

Party tomorrow night :disco:
 
2 days off then one day in then three days off then back to normal, apart from New Years Day. Quite looking forward to it.
 
I’m only off Christmas Day and New Years Day but it will be dead so easy money
 
yesterday was my last day working for the year! I’m going to Baltimore for the weekend and then going to my friends family’s Christmas in another part of Maryland next week

Isn’t Baltimore a bit of a DUMP?
 
My cousin emigrated to Maryland, just outside Annapolis. The photos always looked lovely, they had views over Chesapeake Bay.

Then she got divorced, moved to Alaska (?!) and died.
 
Cascade have just been announced for our Pride next year. I hope they aren't headlining.
 
No time off over christmas (except the mandatory bank holidays) for me.

I've not had a Christmas period off work since i was 15. I'm fine with this.
 
I've finished now pretty much until next year so I'll be using the time to reflect on the sacrifices of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

My god Ryde town is full of people out on work Christmas parties, all loud and drunk and annoying.

I've come home to avoid them all.

However, I will be one of them tomorrow night.

Bristol city centre (never a lovely place at the best of times) is carnage as well.

Perhaps it's all the caffeine I've had this afternoon, but I've probably come the closest to having a full on fight in my adult life trying to negotiate the crowds.
 
Moopy I have a coffee question.

I've been given a lovely coffee machine by my brother, one that takes proper ground coffee and has a milk frother.

We went out and bought a Columbian medium 3 roast. But it tastes weak when we add the frothed milk.

What should we be buying?
 
A lot of the supermarket ground coffees aren't suitable for pump driven espresso machines, the grind is too course.

Lavazza is our goto day to day coffee for our machine. If I'm buying anything else I get beans and grind them #coffeewanker
 
My other #toptip is make sure you're using a filter basket big enough for two cups (our machine has a double and single basket) and to pack the coffee in - don't scrimp.

I'm thinking we may need to buy beans and grind them ourselves. Any particular lavazza?

They’re all good and the perfect grind. We usually get the red one or the crema y gusto one.

What machine have you got?
 
So the measuring spoon should have a flat end for pressing the coffee down when you’ve filled the basket. Dont be shy with coffee and give it a good press. It should be pretty much full after pressing it in.

Yes it does, but we definitely didn't put enough because when we flattened it it was half empty 🤦🏻‍♀️
