Well, my middle daughter was awarded a University prize for her honours thesis work and we went to the prize giving dinner. This is at a (very) flash place in Adelaide.
Food was great(ish). Then came the Tea or Coffee. Hmmmm.
The prize giving dinners our faculty does are held in the same place. KJM was aware of how totally and completely crap their tea was, so he gingerly ordered coffee.
Bad move. I cant believe just how insanely bad the coffee was. Percolated to well past the last inch of its life and prepared sometime in the last month (well, maybe not, but it certainly seemed so) and from beans roasted in the late 18th century.... Did I mention it was bad?
Now, before roasting my own etc etc and being a CS... I probably would have been capable of drinking at least a sip.... Sigh. And there were no proper coffee places between the restaurant and the University where the car was parked so I had to drive all the way home to make a (late night) coffee to get the sodding taste out of my mouth!
It staggers me that such a chasm exists between the food and drink side in some places....
Anyway, enough whinging! Its raining now, so Im at least weather-happy!
