That sounds horrible! I really hope you get better soon.

I deleted my comment because I thought I was being too negative and whiny, didn't realise someone had already seen it. In reality things are better today cos I've been able to keep an anti-nausea pill down (seems counter intuitive that this stuff is in pill form).

In better news a morepork has started hanging out in a neighbourhood tree again, meaning we get sweet sounds for ages at night.

I was thinking angle grinder.

Surely "actual coffee culture" is how/where people drink coffee.

But yes, middle-class people are quite likely to own espresso machines at home.

I mentioned the Starbucks thing because it was a kind of famous case in business studies. It had expanded into other markets with no problem. You're sounding kind of angry with me about it?

American coffee culture is very different from NZ.

Starbucks had to close most of its franchises in NZ and Australia because espresso, lattes etc are already the norm here.

Percolated coffee is only really in very working class places like factory cafetarias.

I wonder this sometimes.

Even just changing it to a tax year and liaising with IRD would save MSD a lot of money I imagine.

Yeah I've always known them as tiger slugs. Yes they get pretty big, and dark. He will probably enjoy it if you feed him some kind of wet catfood, they also drink water.

Thanks. Good news is they didn't do it yesterday! Bad news is it's somewhere in my future, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it (again).

Hiya! Beautiful weekend and now I'm listening to a morepork.

Unfortunately I have something going on with my tooth, dentist tomorrow, not sure what is going to happen or how bad the impact will be on my system and how long recovery is. Hopefully see you all on the other side.
