A simple day working at home for much of the day. A little on the warm side but not quite the extremes our southern cousins are experiencing at the moment. Our turn is coming though. Mostly immersed again in the Queensland of 1893, verifying and backing up various claims, such is the life of a researcher.
Coffee, on the rocks |
One of the nice things about living between Australia and Japan is the different things one can pick up for day-to-day living. I've always been a bit of a fan of the iced coffee. Many years ago, I used to make them here in Australia--milk, ice-cream, cream, dusting of choc on top--the full deal. In Japan, however, I learnt that 'ice coffee' is just that, expresso over ice (to which you can add sweetener and milk/cream to taste, if you wish). Coffee on the rocks. Now that is a coffee I can go for on a hot Brisbane summer day.
