Re-reading old Kindle-purchased SF novel series as we lurch into yet another COVID lockdown.
@variablepulserate It was rather less fun when you lived in a place with only three seal roads an even then one was a private driveway. Dust, mud, corrugations abounded, the latter always made worse by attempts to grade the road.

Having sampled a coffee made with a Nespresso coffee pod machine then observing in the shops the vast array of suitable pods for such a device, I bought a basic one today. It’s a DeLonghi Essenza Mini & takes up very little space. Oddly, Nespresso approved both DeLonghi & Breville to manufacture different devices both called Essenza Mini. Both are constructed to the same specifications but the Breville one is 15% more expensive without offering any tangible benefits.
