A Lovely 10C Site!

Some folk are just so thick. The local carwash offers tyre/engine clean, low-pressure prewash, high-pressure soap, suds brush, foaming conditioner/polish, high-pressure hot wax, high-pressure rinse & low-pressure mist rinse. The foaming conditioner is supposed to go on painted surfaces only after wash & rinse processes.

So this daft woman enters the wash bay in a clean dry car & proceeds to spray the foaming conditioner on every surface without dampening them. Glass, paint, plastic, all done. Then she grabs the suds brush (with no soap running through it) and spreads the foamy polish with the slightly damp brush. Hello scratched paintwork, dopey!
Each cleaning feature has words & pictures of the processes on a big placard beside the control panel. No excuses for not knowing how to use them. But this daft cow goes in and essentially deliberately scratches her paintwork thru ignorance.
I stopped watching at this point as another bay had become free for me to give my dusty car a quick clean.

@hazardwarning Porridge in various forms is good stuff. I'll admit to being rather partial to highland oatcakes & they're not much more than dried porridge

@hazardwarning Interesting choice

Followed a PopSci link from Twitter. As expected, it went to the PopSci Australia website which didn't have that article. I hate shit like that. So I copied the URL & pasted it into the Opera browser with VPN activated.

Problem solved.

Q: Three men in a boat with four cigarettes but no matches or other ignition sources. What to do?

A: Easy. Throw one cigarette overboard. The whole boat becomes a cigarette lighter.

@gtwilson I get that happening on the Mac. I use Epichrome in association with Chrome browser to make Cappuccino into a site-specific browser. Remembering to definitely click in the reply window is the trick, but it's likely harder on iOS.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for a light sweet fruity wine and I've found an interesting rose style made from moscato & cienna grapes. It's seriously fruity and a shade drier than regular moscato wines but is still quite sweet. The low alcohol content is a nice aside, it's 7% ABV.

More info on the cienna grape: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cienna

Just added three teaspoons of instant coffee to a little boiling water & milk powder. This mix was then added to a 750 ml bottle of espresso-flavoured milk to bring up the coffee to sugar ratio, it was far too sweet. The double espresso version was sold out in the supermarket.
The mix fix is more palatable now.
