Squirrel bin cappuccino

No, I have not been blogging much recently. I haven’t felt like it.

There’s a couple of photos here. Firstly I have a picture of a particularly good swirly cappuccino that I had yesterday. I actually went to a place that served coffee in, you know, cups. Instead of the usual milkshake affair in a waxy cardboard cylinder, I got an expertly-made espresso which then had properly-foamed milk poured into it in a wave pattern.

I didn’t want to disturb this to put sugar in, so I poured the sugar into a tiny heap on the surface, let it sink down through the foam, then put the teaspoon (yes, teaspoon, not wooden stirry-thing) through the hole and swirled it around.

Here is a photo of a squirrel not in a bin. I was walking along and saw a fat squirrel climb onto the edge of a rubbish bin, and dive inside. I crept up, wanting to get a phone camera picture of a squirrel in a bin, but the little bugger jumped out again. My ninja squirrel stalking skills apparently need perfecting.

I went for a fairly long walk yesterday and found no end of abandoned or semi-abandoned industrial plants and railways, as well as four arrogant geese. I didn’t have my camera with me, of course. I shall be returning when I do.

I can’t decide whether to buy a camcorder or not.

    dear lord, boy, what on earth are you going to do with a camcorder? I can just see the lengthy video posts of you swirling your drink around, or proudly displaying your new gadget. don’t do it!

    also, I must say that’s about the prettiest cup of anything I’ve ever seen. and its teasing the caffeine addiction I’m trying to drive away.

    Cripes, I’m going to need a coffee now, as well. Damn your eyes.
