Working today, so up early and settled in to the computer. Started with two steepings of Peet's Anniversary Breakfast Blend, but moving on to Lion Mountain Keemun now. |

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone!
I'm currently enjoying a flat white (Australasian favourite: espresso with foamed milk). |

Ah, finishing up the last of last night's wine -- a 1997 Staglin Family Cabernet Sauvignon. Which has aged very well indeed. Still lots of fruit, a bit of "Rutherford Dust", and a healthy acidity providing continuing structure along with the now mellow tannins. Not even middle aged yet.

Winding down the afternoon with some sweet tea and thinking about making some twice baked potatoes for dinner.

Lucas is taking his bath. I am sitting with him posting. I am loving the fitbit I bought. It is an overpriced fitness tool but I love the tracking it does. Lucas and I went for a bunch of extra walks this weekend so I could get my steps in. Silly but motivating none the less.
Water in my glass. Once he is in bed, I am going to make some falafel for dinner. |

Chicken Biryani for dinner, with a new batch of Basmatti rice. Finally, I think we've found a good brand that is consistently available from Amazon. (There's no hope of finding it locally, they sell Basmatti in 500 gm boxes and it's awful. ) We've now managed to source five critical rice varieties from Amazon at high but acceptable prices. (Yeah, I'm fussy about rice. And yeah, I'm sure you're surprised. )
A Keith's IPA with dinner. |

My first week was a mixture of interesting and frustrating. Some of the internal systems still don't know I'm an employee, so I can't access the mandatory training. This puts off what I assume will be a rather dull bit of starting work, which I'd rather get out of the way.
Anyway, here I am at the start of the second week, and I have been very busy - almost too busy to log into MobileRead, except for a few minutes. But I have found time at lunchtime today. The commute has been going well. I haven't missed a train or bus yet. It will happen, of course, it's just a question of how often. Hopefully not very often at all! So: Coke Zero in my cup! |

Tea Farmers Green Puerh. Still a good tea but I let the first round over steep.
Looking forward to the gym this afternoon. BB had a rough night last night, woke up and struggled to settle down. Hopefully that is a rarity. |
