^ Looks good, but Pajama Girl does a great caramel slurpy for 30 Baht. It saves a lot of hassle.

This isn't the place for your depraved sex acts, mate

^ Well, where do I go then?

Edit: Hypothetically.

I had a similar inclination with a grapevine in the conservatory of a former property.

I followed a guide written to produce home made wine, and ended up with about 40l of product. The lengthier and complex procedure was a failure, producing a foul tasting wine, better replicated by the local wine shop.

My hypertension precludes any attempt at coffee production, and I find some limited consistency in my instant morning cups. The only one of the day, often produced while still half asleep.

Guests prefer the espresso machine version, so derided by environmentalists.

I accidentally put the basket from my old machine on the new machine...

And lo my new machine was degraded into a slow drip...

I am now doing some defective detective work by soaking various parts of the disassembled old basket in baking soda to see if the fault lies entirely with the basket and the new machine was a over-hasty purchase.

I also found that the new basket cannot be thus disassembled, so if it goes south in the future then there will be no repair option so the old machine might be the better bet long-term.

don't fret once you get to my age its soup through a straw, you perky fellow.

Catching up on a few posts I missed while travelling I congratulate on superb photos of your wild life in and outside your home.

Your contribution is positive even when you admit to the odd cock up on the catering front and you steer clear of the endless squabbles between the Key Bored Warriors

I wish there were more posters like you well done our very own multi cunturalist
