… since the last post.
Naturally life has been happening. The respite between heatwaves seems nonexistent.
However having the basha setup, plenty of water available, and a cold tile floor, the dogs are able to cope with the heat.
I did get a 1977 printing of the Scout Handbook. I had one of these in the late seventies when I was a Boy Scout.
I’m trying a new coffee supplier who had a deal on some Brazilian beans, and I threw a packet of coffee from Peru in as well. Because Diogo.
Games have been played. But they will be covered in the round up post.
I got a new folding mug, a Dutch Army Surplus Folding Cup.
I’d seen these used in various YouTuber videos. So was curious about it.
A Dutch Army surplus model can be picked up cheap enough. As can the Wildo civilian version. The only difference I can tell is that the civilian one is available in a variety of colours.
It’s smaller than I thought it’d be. But folded up it’s tiny. I can see the attraction. In fact I like this form factor a lot.
However with liquid in it seems flimsy.
Having a cup of coffee for me is an experience. I like my coffee. It’s not just about using a great coffee. It’s how you brew it, and for me the drinking.
I didn’t find drinking from this cup a great experience. That flimsy feeling of the cup with the coffee in. The handle was just too small, and felt even flimsier! In contrast I love drinking from both my Kupilka cups. I find the experience of using them fun, they invoke almost a pioneer/explorer/viking feeling.
I really want to love this cup. But if that drinking experience isn’t pleasant, it doesn’t matter how great the coffee is the enjoyment will be diminished.
