Family and Coffee: Two of my Favourite Things

This is what our family looks like in holiday mode. Lily especially has the hang of it :)


We've done a fair bit of not-much recently. Plenty of hangin' around home. Kate's noticed that I actually take up space in the house, so having me around makes the place feel smaller... so far I'm still welcome, though ;)

We've done some little outings: the zoo, DFO, the pool, Petersham (ah! the Portuguese custard tarts and butchers!), BBQ with friends.

The other day I went to a course run by these guys:


It was a birthday present, which I only got around to taking up rather belatedly!

The course was great. It was their introductory level course, so I'd heard much of it before. But I think I walked out with three great things:

1. The fire in my belly for coffee was fanned into flames.
2. It was fun to use commercial machines; even that little bit of experience was cool.
3. I now know how to make a long black. (I guess I just never learned how).
   

I guess you could also add: (4) Absolutely wired from having so much coffee. Anyway, thanks very much to those who gave me that little course (all those months ago!).


Happy days drinking coffee.
