I missed International Coffee Day...

I don't believe that I missed this...
International Coffee Day...
On my birthday...
I should have peddled this one loud and fast...

I'm hooked up
for life to
the coffee drip#haiku

This is 345 more cases than yesterday, and 50 more cases than the previous day's high...Sighhhhhh.... 

Tim Pallas...treasurer in Victorian government since 2014...opened the presser...slammed the federal government for not supporting Victorian construction industry... 

'blatant favorable treatment for NSW'... 

'churlishness and small mindedness'...

'politics seems to have trumped commonsense'... 

'If the Prime Minister wants us to stop calling him the Prime Minister of NSW, he must stop acting like it'...

what time's Dan's presser...

I'm 98% sure I know who you are (there have been subtle clues), but I will keep my lips sealed...Promise...Meanwhile, thank you for your long-term, regular service...And yes...Brett's facial hair variations = an important item...
We'll stay tuned...
Go well. go in peace...🙏

Universe is testing me?....

PASSING THOUGHT: I'm sure the Universe is testing me out. Put water in the kettle for morning coffee. Water=cloudy white. South East Water website says not harmful, just air bubbles+will clear. Opened sultana packet+most spilled on the floor. Surprise morning cleaning exercise.⁉️ pic.twitter.com/J2EZgsTtCS
