Intended to buy a reverse-cycle umbrella from the post Office today but the bastards were shut due to a national post office holiday. Plus it’s New Year’s Day on Monday, so the joint won’t open again until Tuesday. A reverse-cycle umbrella is one that closes upwards & opens down, making it very handy for use in a car
Reckon I may have had a bit of a thirst to kill. Suffice to say, I’ve just polished off a full one litre carton of iced coffee-flavoured soy “milk.”
@hybotics They offered a plain chevre goat cheese (fresh curd) and fresh curd cow's milk cheese, plus cow & goat fetas; semi-mature goat-milk cheese; goat & cow mould-ripened (brie/camembert style) & matured goat & cow cheeses.
I'd have liked to try the mature & mould-ripened ones.
@matigo Well, until the Caucasian race arrived in Oz, there was ZERO population of water buffalo here.
@matigo North American beasties are bison, as I understand it. These critters are descendants of both riverine & swamp type Asian water buffalo and extend from China across Asia & into southern regions of Europe, such as the Balkans & Italy.
And anyway, the place was full of bloody tourists, of which demographic I do not consider myself to belong. I’m a potential repeat purchaser. Just mot at those prices. And they charge for cheese tastings, other places don’t. Not going back.
Cheese place I visited was too expensive. Tasting plates with crackers & samples of 4 cheeses was $32. Other places charge $10 for 8 to 10 different cheeses which add up to more than ½ the weight of those at the pricy place.
Corrugated gravel road. Uphill. 2nd gear was too high a ratio for that particular spot, so I changed down to bottom gear. Instead of scrabbling madly for traction as previous vehicles have, this one activated the traction control and proceeded along with minimal wheelspin.
If I associate my credit card with the EezyWash iOS/Android app I can buy time or cleaning services at my local car wash centre without needing to use coins or tokens. Not sure how it works at the car wash equipment end though.
