First ever home roasting of coffee beans. The smell was as good as you’d expect. The degrees of roast in the same batch is quite variable. Will wait several days before grinding and tasting though to allow for gassing off. #Coffee #HomeRoasted #CoffeeSky
100 grams of green/raw coffee beans in a Tupperware tub sat on Hario scales   The readout showing exactly 100 grams.  
A Behmor 2020SR coffee roasting machine with its door open and light on.  The roasting drum can be seen inside the machine.  

Freshly roasted coffee beans in an open Tupperware container.  In full sunlight.  Variances in the degrees of browning of the bean can be seen.

Lots of footage of Reform thugs at the moment but this screenshot of one @reformuk.bsky.social bully literally kicking a woman is disgraceful. Protecting ‘our’ women and children! From what? Your own thugs?

Nisabost Beach on the Isle of Harris. Gorgeous last day spent exploring here and The Golden Road. Our third visit to Harris and Lewis but definitely not our last.

When ‘friends’ send you less than flattering screenshots of your old TV appearances. Apparently they’re rerunning Emergency 999 for any admirers of moobs, I might put on my Only Mamms page.

You don’t need to wonder; we’ve got a 2nd rate pub orator as an elected MP and Rupert’s Blackshirts canvassing in Makerfield.
A group of 5 men and one woman, all in matching uniform.  They’re using an SUV’s bonnet as desk whilst they look at devices and plans.  The SUV has a Union Jack flag image on its bonnet.  Their matching uniform has Union Jacks on the Right sleeve and on their baseball capos.  There a caption which reads “Restore Britain canvassers in Makerfield wearing (illegal) uniform”

Nigel Frottage: The acceptable face of fascism in the UK. Rupert Lowe: Hold my pint! Canvassing in uniform has been illegal in the UK since 1936 (Public Order Act 1936) but it seems these characters allegedly canvassing in Makerfield either don’t know or don’t care about UK law.

I thought “This can’t be real. The leader of the free world wouldn’t say such things”. So I’ve signed up to that app, and ladies and gentlemen, it is real. The replies from his lickspittle army are vile.
Screenshot from Truth Social showing a post from Donald J Trump.  The text of which reads as follows: Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Looking forward to the next iteration of this classic brew! Fullers don’t call it a Barley Wine but it pretty much is. Therefore fits the profile of one of my favourite styles.
A bottle of Fullers Vintage Ale 2024 edition stands next to a full pint glass of the beer.

We know when Molly has been a bit feisty at dog daycare, because she gets put in with the bigger dogs. We get a complimentary report card after each visit and this is one of the recent one’s picture.
A large dog, possibly a Husky stood next to and towering over a Sproodle (mixed breed Springer Spaniel and Poodle). The Sproodle is looking sheepish.

This is brilliant; there we were floundering around with ‘caring for others’ treating people fairly’ ‘being eco-friendly’ ‘vegetarian’ ‘valuing diversity’ and dozens of other ideas. Thank you Nigel for clearing this up. Woke means having beavers on our banknotes.

Garlic, sparse mixed herbs, and olive oil on the hasselback potatoes, but should I add coarse salt? Oh! This isn’t Insta so I can’t do a poll. Drat. 🍜
15 potatoes in a square white dish.  Covered in olive oil and crushed garlic.  Next to the dish is a container of coarse sea salt.

A single donor has given Reform UK £12m this year, accounting for 40% of ALL UK party donations. Ironically, he’s a migrant from the UK living in Thailand. Apparently he expects nothing in return for his cash. Unlike others, @greenparty.org.uk only gets funds from its members.

So here’s a valuable, if obvious, lesson I learned today: prepping a curry involving chillies is not negated by vigorous handwashing, when it comes to taking contact lenses out.
