We recently saw Steve Rodgers when we went to the Sydney Film Festival screening of Men's Group.

The coffee machine at work has been idle for a long, long time. They are thinking of eBaying it off. It's been quite a while since I've worked in an office with an espresso machine, so I offered to take it home this weekend for a service. My hope is that the boss will change his mind about getting rid of it.

It's a Saeco Royal Professional. I haven't used one before, but I am determined to make this clunky-looking beast churn out a passable espresso.

It's warmed up. It's be descaled and steam cleaned through-out. It's full of fresh beans. Let the playing begin!

Don't take your Boston Terrier to McDonald's if you're planning on sitting there in peace to enjoy your mocha.
