please ..you call it caramelised.

No, I do not like it burnt. Med to dark. I am not into French or Italian roasts where the coffee is burnt. It also ruins the subtle flavour tones of the coffee.

Burnt coffee?

[jonjonck] 10/1/2024 08:46

Yesterday I fixed my coffee. I bought 1Kg of roasted coffee beans but despite being a medium roast were more like a mild roast. I roasted them again myself and not sure if it would yield good results or not. It has indeed improved the coffee.

Morning all

There is something about a good walk in this weather, No snow here but my car looks like a giant ice cube

Delightful 6 mile walk in sub zero temperatures.The frost patterns in the winter sunshine were beautiful.

[rovi70] 09/1/2024 11:19

3 degrees and sunny breeze makes it feel a bit chiller Nothing broken No water leaks Tyre pressures ok. Windows clean Hovering done and beds made. Dinner planned. So book reading time me thinks. Have a nice day folks and keep breathing.

[2gekko] 08/1/2024 18:44

I think the A will have a soft hide and hopefully I will be able to advise at a later date

It actually snowed a bit earlier

Did you know Leather is rated based on its texture.Cows with abundant water sources typically have softer hides, rated "A"but hides from cows living in hot, dry climates are typically D-hide rated.

Good Morning from a zero degrees.
The Kitchen was perishing this morning.

That is great the A is letting you help out.

I found the same with Norton but not so much with McAfee.

[2gekko] 07/1/2024 21:13

I did use Norton a few years ago but it seemed to slow my PC down, I haven't been out all weekend as was knackered after the wok trip last week but ok now

[jonjonck] 07/1/2024 09:16

Good Morning.
Some of the companies I did projects for required me to have McAfee or Norton and scan all emails as they are sent and also all files being sent are scanned. Old habits die hard and kind of feel naked without McAfee on my computer.
It also gives me a really cheap VPN connection which I need when accessing some engineering files in the US or other parts of the world.

Morning

I just us Microsoft essentials and have never had any problems, cold and dry today here

[jonjonck] 06/1/2024 20:25

I currently on phone to McAfee trying to sort out me screwing up renewing my subscription. I do it wrong every year!

[jonjonck] 06/1/2024 20:22

Should have taken them over to A's.

[2gekko] 06/1/2024 19:01

Sorry, I've been busy taking all my clothes and dirty dishes to my sisters house

[jonjonck] 06/1/2024 13:39

I wonder who will not be showering for the next 2 weeks, making coffee or doing the dishes.

[2gekko] 06/1/2024 11:56

Yes they will reimburse, you have to fill in a form online and they then monitor usage for two weeks to get an average, waters not expensive anyway, normally I get charged about £100 for six months and the last six months to late December with the leak was £146, I'm really relived the drive does not have to be dug up and was going to celebrate with a drink but my tab is on stop

[jonjonck] 06/1/2024 09:56

Good Morning.

Good it is now fixed, but will they be reimburse you for water leaked?
Frosty morning and looks like it will be cold for the next couple of weeks looking at Gate's weather charts... but dry.
