Due to reflux issues I'm restricting myself to no more than two cups of coffee per day (or one large one). Today I opted for the large one, a half-litre cup. I haven't used my K-Fee Preferenza pod machine for a while so I started with a little reduced-sugar condensed milk and half as much thick real cream. Then I gave it 220 ml from a number 12 strength pod followed by 180 ml from a number 5 strength pod. I topped up the remaining 60 ml with hot water.

It was quite nice, not too strong but by no means thin & nasty.

Accidentally opened Mail on my Mac while on a VPN internet session (watching a video normally unavailable in this country). I have four email accounts: iCloud, Gmail, ISP-provided & Microsoft Live. I promptly received an email from MS saying my account was locked for irregular access activity. It's easy enough to unlock it, though. Access restored.

DAB+ can be quite weird. I cannot have digital radio & TV on at the same time, TV interferes and the radio stops working. Today an emergency vehicle with sirens going went past 75 metres away and the radio died again, resuming when the vehicle passed by.

@kdfrawg The bruise is starting to go yellow.
