At a good friend’s 30th, I thought I’d help out with the coffee making by taking the new grinder, and the old faithful coffee machine, and making the odd coffee for people; it was a lot of fun, and I learned a little about the limitations of travelling with the new grinder. It’s hard to empty, and it tends to spread coffee grinds a lot further than you might expect. That aside, though, it lets me make better coffees that I thought possible.
It was also good to catch up with some mutual friends that I hadn’t seen in a long while.
