Week 190: Going coastal
Week 189: Roaming
I found a delightful new café in one of the new developments nearby while escaping from our very hot house in search of somewhere cooler. It’s called Chá-Fé. I assume that’s a portmanteau of the Chinese for tea 茶 ⟨chá⟩ and “café”, and they do indeed sell both tea (a range of interesting, good-quality teas from Taiwan and Japan) and coffee.
Week 188: Toaster
We bought a fancy Dualit toaster. We used to use a mini toaster oven, but now that we have two working ovens we don’t really need to dedicate counter space to a third, and it was never quite big enough for breakfast for two, so we gave it away.
Week 187: Sealed
I vacuumed, washed, and sealed the tiled floors in the kitchen and bathroom so that they’re now a bit more resistant to spills. It was only a matter of time before one of us dropped something, after all. It’s been a bit of a surprise to me how much stuff is still left to do after all the building work is complete, but at least this was a fairly quick and easy job.
Ruby blue
Why in the world would you call a colour “Ruby Blue”?
