Having a look at an app called Journey. A colleage recommended it, so I'm havng a look at it.

What kind of app is it?

It’s a journaling app. I’m not sure if I end up using it, I am not, historically speaking, one to stick at journaling.

Bought coffee beans last week the first time in ages, forgetting I no longer have the grinder... now I’m grinding coffee beans with a mortar and pestle.

You know they sell coffee grinders now, right?

But no lie, mortar and pestle ground coffee is intriguing...

Especially when you discover that you have not properly cleaned off the dried Trinidad Scorpion from the last time you used it

The Mortar and Pestle takes some effort to grind the coffee, but it's pretty good.
While the Scorpion was flavouring it, it was more letting me know it was there with a bit of unexpected chilli heat per sip.

It didn't change the flavour much.

I have given it a thorough cleaning and now there's no more unexpected burning sensation.

Heading to sleep. One more early morning task before I hand off the on-call phone for a couple of weeks.

Schengen is nearly the world's most important territory and by far the most used border as all the world's leading tourism is inside of it .... it includes Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Czech, etc.

Essentially all of Europe.

I swear our Amazon deliver rate is down to 50%. A huge portion of what we order gets delivered to other people and Amazon will do absolutely nothing to change the predictable problems. They keep opting to use a service provider (USPS) that they know doesn't know where our house is.

And half the time "out for delivery" never arrives. My package that was "out for delivery" at 8am today is now "expected in a few days". What?

Quality of delivery for Amazon, at least for me, has plummeted in the last two years.
