I had to get out, I was running out of medicines, running out of food and I had spent all Friday at home fixing websites till the wee hours. Well, a bit of a lie there, not quite to the wee hours, but till late. So come Saturday supplies being thin and well, I had to get out!
So I escaped from the grips of my PC, twas almost like escaping gravity, a big push, leap was needed, but I did it. I got out and headed towards London Docklands, It's nice there, lots of shops, all easy to get to and well all indoors to was out of the rain.
I love Olive oil, in fact I'm not to shy to spend over £6 for a 1lt bottle.(at my local Sainsbury) The oil I get is Farchioni Extra Virgin Olive Oil 'Il Casolare' from Umbria. It's the oil taken from the very first pressing, so it's a bit murky, but boy does taste delicious! This is the kind of olive oil you pour onto a saucer, with bits of chillies. Dip some chipata bread bits in and have for a starter, or side dish. What I needed was a nice drizzler so that I don't have to worry about the stopper. As you can see in the image, it's like a beer bottle, a Grolsch so by the time your half way through the bottle, you have quite some oil slipping down the sides, gets kinda messy, so a drizzler was needed.
You can order it from
here, but it's pricey!
On my way to find the said drizzler, I found something that I that any good office worker want's. You know when the office only provides cheap and nasty instant coffee, you know, that coffee you need to add 3 or 4 tables spoons of the stuff before you get a 'hit'. Yep, you know what I'm on about. Anyway, some one who obviously likes coffee, had the same problem and was thinking how can I have my proper coffee, my ground coffee at the office. So what did this guy do? He imagined how can he get his cafetière and a mug together? So along comes the Smart Café cafetière hot mug!
What's this Smart Café cafetière hot mug. Well yes, it's a cafetière and a mug blended into one. Ok it's plastic, double lined to keep the heat in with the plunger of the cafetière to get you this!
Some more info, the guy who was thinking about this is non other than
Sebastian Conran . If you do think you would like one, you can get them from
here.
Now what more does a techy person need, less coffee for a big hit! All I can say is, Darn and why didn't I think of that!
