I've learnt a ton in the kitchen during this lockdown.

Ooooh now that looks good @BeaLea!! Could you share the recipe or is it a secret?
EDIT: I've seen recipes for Dalgona coffee but they all have ice and I don't like iced coffee.
WOW! I'm going to try that!!!

I was expecting him to say he forgot his pants at home.
Funnily enough that happened with one of our staff last year.
He gyms before work. And showers to put formals on after gym.
Forgot his work pants at home.
Gymed. Showered. Wore really short shorts all day in the office.
With socks and formal shoes and a formal shirt !
That must have been a sight to behold!
I used to go out with TV newsreader and many a time he would go off to work in his gardening shorts and boots, but wearing a shirt, tie and jacket.
No secret. Happy to share with you @Hooked
- 2tbs coffee (instant powder)
- 2tbs brown sugar
- 2tbs hot water
- 1 cap full of vanilla essence
- 1tbs cinnamon powder
Mix it all up until it is like whipped cream. You can whisk by hand or use an electrical whisk. Once it's making peaks and is a light colour it's ready.
Add warm milk and top with you dalgona.
Add additional cinnamon if you wish. Mix it all up and enjoy your delicious Dalgona
This is indeed the same mixture I used.
I just added in additional vanilla essence 1cap full and cinnamon to taste.
Also...a little bit of whiskey doesn't hurt at all
Dalgona is a winner. Perfect hot or cold
Ah OK ... ignore my request then for the recipe. Thanks for the additional tips @BeaLea!

Yzer's ostriches again ... (pic not taken by me)
I'm starting to think those are not real ostriches but people disguised as ostriches in order to get their walk in. If you see one with a poodle on a leash I would start asking questions...
The vibrators mentioned are used to displace and evacuate mucus buildup in the lungs. Applied externally as opposed to the “other” type.
Regards
The "other" type sounds more entertaining.

Another all nighter ,Tried the CBD again but , useless .Let the dogs out about 02:00 and it was and still is eerily quiet , there is a fog hanging over Joeys and temps have dropped . Time for the electric blanket , that is when I get to bed eventually ...So I guess we're all anxious to see if e-commerce will kick in on Friday , doubtful but hopeful . Till later .

Didn't take long and Susan Wojcicki took it down.
Internet Speech Will Never Go Back to Normal
In the debate over freedom versus control of the global network, China was largely correct, and the U.S. was wrong.
COVID-19 has emboldened American tech platforms to emerge from their defensive crouch. Before the pandemic, they were targets of public outrage over life under their dominion. Today, the platforms are proudly collaborating with one another, and following government guidance, to censor harmful information related to the coronavirus. And they are using their prodigious data-collection capacities, in coordination with federal and state governments, to improve contact tracing, quarantine enforcement, and other health measures. As Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg recently boasted, “The world has faced pandemics before, but this time we have a new superpower: the ability to gather and share data for good.”

@Rob Fisher that's amazing. Looks great!

Way more comfortable than any other mask I have tried... the nose bridge section you need to wet a little with hot water and squeeze it to fit your nose and then good to go. Still fighting with my glasses misting up a bit but I have a few things to try that have been suggested.
You still need to use a proper mask under that leather one @Rob Fisher
