My Good Lady was watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang earlier, I made my excuses and found a job to do.

Happy new year amigos. Clear and cold, just a breeze and will be almost 2C. I have found a stainless steel expresso maker which makes about 12 oz of coffee. I have Al ones but I now try to avoid cooking with Al, especially something acidic, like coffee. Gave it a try with freshly ground beans....that 12 oz cup will suffice. Can almost float a quarter on the coffee it makes. I will go for a ride today on the mountain bike with studded snows, which may be overkill, but still it is safer.
Drago, pretty sure we all believe our dog is the best. My Weimaraner was the best and now my Rat Terrier is too. I believe a pooch is a commitment for life and nothing makes me angrier than people than people who get a pup because they are so cute, fail to train it and give it what it needs to be healthy and happy and then dump it when it's inconvenient or no longer cute.
Mine is going on 17 years now and hopefully will still enjoy living for a while yet.
Good luck on getting your Covid shots and hopefully these restrictions will end soon. Never liked eating in restaurants all that much, partially because Mrs 12's cooking is much better, butvnow I cannot I do miss it.

Wow. One woman predicts the future by throwing asparagus into the air and interpreting the future by the way they land. She has been nicknamed mystic Veg.

She predicts that Covid will start to disappear by June (spooky) and that everyone will be kinder to each other. Wow.

I've never understood Americans measuring liquids by weight - what's that all about?

Fluid ounces I suppose. I was puzzled by cups as measures until the penny dropped that the size of the cup is unimportant, it’s a way of describing the ratio of ingredients to one another.
I was brought up on pints as a liquid measure but prefer the symmetry of litres / kilogram / metres ( 1 cubic metre of water contains 1000 litres and weighs 1000kg)
Edit to say has a mass of 1000kg, weight varies with gravity.

People who want to bicker about brexit should be locked in a room together with an assortment of weapons. Whoever walks out the door alive an hour later should be thrown down a well, which is then filled with concrete.
