No matter how subtly I hint that my coffee be made "weak and milky", our admin lady always makes it so that the spoon stands upright.

I have just had a delivery of coffee from York Coffee Emporium. Can't decide which one to open and try first.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Make it weak and milky and it won't matter  :demon:

I don't actually want it weak or milky - just relatively so!

A colleague brought in Scotch pancakes and raspberry jam, but the "raspberry jam" is a seedless jelly.

Quite right too.  "Weak & Milky Coffee" ??  Lucky the Admin lady doesn't spank you just for asking.
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

Whoa, before the Coffee Brigade start rounding on me as if I'm some kind of Philistine, I just want to make it clear that I just wanted something like this 

and not something like this

(not that I'd really mind a spanking from her  :demon:)

Need to buy a new dishwasher and the Miele G6512 will take 3 days to get here! We're going to have to wash dishes by hand  :o. The cleaner was in today - should have got her to do some  :-\

It's Friday, so I treated myself to some nice Rioja,  but I smashed the last of my good red wine glasses last week (and have been too busy lazy to get the spares out of the loft.) 

I'm having to drink it out of one of the chunky recycled green glass goblets I use for white....  :o

I got a parcel of a free gift from Brooks but it's not another test saddle, it's ugly bar tape I don't want and won't use.
