Re: What have you just bought?

I walked into Tesco to buy some crackers and cheese after work and ended up buying some Ray ban prescription varifocal glasses! It's been over 10 years since I had any new ones and recently got some free prescription safety glasses and eye test for work so thought why not.

Re: What have you just bought?

Aldi cleared their shelves of Easter stuff before they reopened on Easter Monday. But today most of it is back at reduced prices. So I decided to treat myself to some choccy things.

The other thing is storing the beans. Like instant coffee, the first cup is always the best. If you don't store them right they don't last that long before they go stale. About 4-5 weeks or so.
Not really an issue here we go through 4kg of beans in about 5-6 weeks 🤣

That is a lot of coffee. Only me that drinks coffee here, so 1kg avg 1-2 cups a day. By the end of the month I can tell it's already stale.

Do you have any recommendations of beans at all. Always open for suggestions.

Had the machine in just under a year and I think we’ve made about 2300 drinks, because we (I) drink so much coffee we just buy whatever’s cheap on Amazon

Just bought
A robotic lawnmower (for s&g)
New glasses
Added another watch or two to the collection (treat to myself for my 50th)

I buy the beans from a local coffee shop that roast beans in-house (Rand, 1Kg bags) - when we visit our son in North London, we buy a 1Kg bag of Gails House Blend whole beans.

Try buying some freshly roasted beans - it really does improve the taste.
