I would love to sit down and chat about ancient greek while having a coffee with you, a game of chess would even top the day off better. I am half way through the Persian Fire, by Tom Holland at the moment. Xerxes is building his forces headed for Greece.
I am more a fan of ancient rome, got through Masters of Rome series ,by Colleen McCullough, loved all of them and have recently started the Aeneid by Virgil, but it's hard going, also started to learn Latin so I could read, Commentarii de Bello Gallico, Caesars Commentaries on the Gallic War. It's funny when I now think back to when I was younger, you would of had to tie me up and torture me to read a book.
My wife, who is not a coffee drinker, although loves the smell of coffee, is struggling to come to grips with the amount of money I am going to spend, but she came and told me the other day that her garden now has around 600 bromeliads, (not all bought, some are pups grown from a parent plant), but maybe I need to remind her how much that may of cost her.
Nice work with the review on your machine, very in depth and informative. It will be nice when I can do the same, if , I mean when I make up my mind

Hopefully one day I'll read it in the greek, but for now I'm only venturing as widely to learn koine greek. And I'm afraid I'm far better at making coffee than I am at chess (contrary to my detail oriented nature, I haven't bothered to learn enough classic moves).
