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

Keep up the good relaxin!
Could you please tell me how to make a long black? I'm asked to make them sometimes at work and I still have no idea! Would be really helpful if you don't mind sharing the secret.
Oh sure! I didn't mean to be secretive ;)
So it's two shots of espresso (or ristretto) poured into a cup of hot (but not too hot) water. The total volume should be the same as your other drinks (190-220ml).
Yeah, long black drinkers seem to be a bit of a rare breed. Maybe Jake's the only one I can think of (if he still has 'em).
