LOL, I had to be careful googling for research purposes!

The BBC One Christmas Day line up looks great, I don't know what everyone is complaining about.

You'll all be delighted to hear that a Wilfa Classic Aroma was sourced today from the good people at Cloud Picker Coffee. Let's wish it a long and productive life.

Hush now, don't give it ideas!

Thanks Kate!

I definitely want to hear that!!

Back to one of my favourite seats in town.

Fab, thank you!

That's some quality service! Thank you so much.

Thanks so much! Any other time I'd try to sort out a fix, but proximity to Christmas and plenty of upcoming gatherings means an emergency purchase required, unfortunately. The problem I have is that it's difficult to walk into a shop in Dublin and buy anything specific. We'll see how it goes.

Any thoughts on a suitable grinder I could pick up locally to replace a suddenly dead Baratza Encore, @imbibecoffee.bsky.social? It will mostly be your coffee going into it (!) for V60 and Aeropress. Unlikely ever to be used for espresso.

Still good going! I need something I can pick up basically tomorrow.

With perfect timing, our coffee grinder has just crapped out. In fairness, it owes us nothing! Should I buy a replacement Baratza Encore or something else? What say you, Bluesky?!

Thanks Kate. Delighted you enjoyed!

Oh wow! I'm just not in the loop any more, I had no idea this was happening.

Calm down cat. You're not Alan Rickman at the end of Die Hard.

Definitely starting to feel the Christmas vibes now.

Either way I need somebody to bring me flesh and BRING ME WINE. Yippee Ki-yay!

Satisfying to receive a delivery from @quiresandplaces.com just in time for this evening's carol service. Now, which one to wear...?

My kids are asking me every few minutes "is there a new drawing?"

Happy @twisteddoodles.bsky.social #ToyShow Day to all who celebrate. And if you don't, you should start right away!

Delighted to see @64wine.bsky.social at large here!

Have to be honest, I'm fed up with the election already. Imagine if we had to put up with US-style election cycles and campaigns lasting months! That might be enough to finally make me put down the phone, though.

There's a very particular kind of nervousness that comes with the NCT waiting area.

We won't quibble... 😉

TIL I'm 52. This is disappointing but not surprising.

I'm 52 also, apparently, which is a bit disappointing.

We just had beef or salmon at ours.

In my world a ham and cheese is a pretty exciting sandwich. THAT'S TWO FILLINGS, PEOPLE!

Is there actually one on? Until this comment I had no idea!!
