Today is the first day of Starbucks Christmas which is quite early but it does mean extra drinks on the menu and that everything has gone red!
I managed to buy the first Christmas Thermos cup in Coventry - and I think you’ll agree, its awesome.
Wednesday morning is quickly becoming my favourite morning of the week. Originally it was one of the worst, having to get up slightly earlier than usual to avoid the cleaners! However it has evolved into something much better!
Wednesday morning is now Starbucks morning. In the beginning it was just me, I’d grab a paper and head down there for about 7.30am which was awesome. Now we are getting a little group of us down there regularly mostly consisting of Matt and Chris!
So, what are you up to next Wednesday morning? Fancy a coffee? Well feel free to call into Starbucks for a coffee and say hi!
Finally, after nearly two years of trying, I have a coffee tree!
To be honest it has been a bit of a saga! I’m not a particularly good horticulturist, but I try my best, and over the last two or three years I have been trying to grow my own coffee tree from seed.
In principle it is supposedly very simple! You get some green coffee beans, soak them in water for 24-48 hours, plant in a soil medium and leave to germinate which takes between 6 weeks and 5 months.
In practice my experience is that it is extremely difficult to grow a coffee tree from seed! I tried several types of soil medium, and even tried vermiculite. I have also tried several ranges of temperature and moisture using different seed propagators. Most people who saw my attempts thought I may actually be trying to grow weed!
In reality I have discovered the best way to get a coffee tree is ask your fience to buy one for you! Thats what I did, and I finally have my very own 6″ high coffee tree. Hopefully I won’t kill it!
