Single-use plastic takeaway dishes have been phased out in Western Australia and in the photo you can see what is being used instead of plastic.
I know some of the plates and containers that you can buy nowadays are made of...

The taxi was 5 minutes late picking me up to go to art class today, and I was starting to panic. Eventually he came and we set off. I got to the hall and went to the toilet, then I got myself a cup of tea.
Lee came in, and she...

Just came across this story. An employee, who had been in his job for less than three weeks, attempted to sue his boss for sexual harassment because his (the boss’) name was Willy.
Thank God the judge threw that case out...

Well, technically yesterday's again because it's after midnight!
Anyway we did the usual things. Only one lift working again today, which we went up on!
I got 3 magazines today. (Well, technically 4.) I got a Doctor Who...

It's that time again when you have the TV on, and if you are watching especially your local channels, almost every single commercial happens to be a political ad. I admit it does get annoying.
The TV stations certainly make their...

Fiacre Banks @porwest Sad thing is that as with all advertising loads of people are duped. Such a lazy way to do politics. During our elections our church hosts an evening that all candidates are invited to attend and the members get the chance to ask questions of them and...

My friend told me the other day that she is chopping up banana skins, putting them in a container of water then each week pouring the water and/or the scraps onto her plants. She believes the plants are doing better since she has...

At least that is what he said a few years ago before being elected and eventually selected as Trump's vice president candidate. Yup. JD Vance said that women like Kamala Harris, AOC, and even Pete Buttigieg (not a woman) were...

There are lots of rumors swirling on Twitter but I also found this article on MSNBC from this morning. While JD Vance was a decent choice when Trump was running against Biden, he doesn't seem like such a great choice with Kamala...

I've just been to the little Tesco again, and it's very hot out. Not as hot as on Friday, but hot enough. So I wore no mac or coat, even though Mum wanted me to wear a mac. I said, I'm not wearing a mac in this weather, thank you...

My last post was about a barista’s guide to mental health. One of his suggestions was ‘stay calm and drink coffee’. @Ronrybs said his would be ‘stay calm and drink tea’ which brought back a few memories for me.

I guess it might work if I lived in Italy, where...

Fiacre Banks @fleura It makes me more productive in the bathroom. Years ago my wife decided that coffee was making me fidgety in bed even though it didn’t. So I gave coffee after a final double espresso in Turin at Caffe Roberto on 17 March 2009 and took no more till...

Tom Price is a mining town in Western Australia and the day starts early as everyone heads off to the various mine sites. Before catching their flights or buses, they often pick up a coffee from a coffee van run by barista Ted...

I am seriously procrastinating right now. My niece's birthday party starts in like half an hour and I haven't even showered yet. I typically get stressed if I am going to wind up late somewhere but this morning I just can't seem...
