Café juve, burwood

May 31, 2006 – 2:44 pm

Café juve, burwood

Segafredo coffee. Overlooking the train station; lots of daylight; two staff - one unfriendly, one friendly.
Coffee is really hot, and a good texture, but they can’t overcome that segafredo taste.

movie: the da vinci code

May 30, 2006 – 12:26 pm

The Da Vinci Code
So much ink has been expended on the teaching content of the book, and the movie; it’s pretty clear that the sorts of things that the movie says about Jesus, and about the church is largely made up. The trouble is that there is no difference in the presentation of fact and [...]

Bowan island bakery, drummoyne

At a good friend’s 30th, I thought I’d help out with the coffee making by taking the new grinder, and the old faithful coffee machine, and making the odd coffee for people; it was a lot of fun, and I [...]
