I decided to make a note on the kitchen calendar to see how long a 250g bag of coffee beans lasts. The last bag was used in 12 days.

16 days for 228g here - a 14g coffee each morning. (That means there's a surplus 4g in the pack, so I either occasionally let a few extra beans fall in when weighing, or just have ultra-strong coffee at the end of the pack.)

Lunch has been the last of the jumbo frankfurters in the last of the small white baps, thereby freeing up a marginal amount of extra space in the freezer

Generally less than a week here here. I usually buy 2x228g bags a week but I do drink a lot of coffee.

As an aside, the Aldi Alcaf Espresso Roast is surprisingly good for the price. As good if not better than Taylors or Lavazza for lot less.

Sheets off the line and over the banisters in the through draft.

Cottons out of the TD and airing ditto.

Still sunny here but the weather person mentioned threats of rain, hail, & murrain of beasts later.

I very rarely drink coffee, certainly not anything that would require grinding.

Tea, tea, and more tea, as the quantity of undecayed teabags in the compost heap indicates.

I'm TT at the moment too.

Anyone know where I can get a hair shirt (lice optional)?

There appears to be a mild moistening of the ground. Still reasonably bright out though.

I realised that I never got around to fitting a CD/DVD drive to my office desktop PC (I only bought it 5 or so years ago) and so used some of my billable time to dig in my box of bits for said drive and a cable.

With the PC still running, I took the cover off to do a recce for a spare power cable. Such a cable was found but would require a few things to be moved about.

I was on the cusp of powering down to jiggle things about a bit when I thought to check where I'd need to route the cable twixt CD/DVD drive and the motherboard. Turns out I don't have any bazillion pin ATA connections, just those new-fangled SATA ones.

Maybe that's why I never fitted it all those years ago...

Chance of thunderstorms for you tomorrow, according to the lunchtime forecast on the BBC

In other news, the people coming to view the house have now delayed until next week, so the urgency of redecorating and tidying up has subsided.

The Wife (tm) is currently clearing the bathroom with a view to "us" redecorating it this weekend.

Mundane laundry is on

And an emergency bag of crisps (plain) is being consumed, lunch having not been as filling as it might have been
