Sunrise at Govetts

Well you know me. Having spent a month wallowing in monochrome, I shall OD on colour for a few days. I popped down to Govetts Leap Lookout and jostled with dozens of photographers in the cold for a view of the sunrise. The promised mist was absent and there were few clouds which might have lifted the exercise.

This is a view of the warming sky past some of the dead trees from last year's fire emergency which I felt offered some useful drama. The extra was shot on my way home. Some trees were receiving the morning light quite fetchingly.

Some of you may be wondering about my ongoing adventures with coffee. Well ... Norma and I have been trying all sorts of things using varieties of different freshly ground and pre-ground coffee beans/blends with blind tastings. We've tried many "recipes" (a current term on Youtube) involving varied concentrations of water/coffee at different brew temperatures. We've discovered goose necked kettles, "pour over" (we'd always called it "paper filtered") drip methodology (involving "blooms"?) and unearthed all sorts of new ways of using our French presses.

Several things have resulted. 
a) We are battling total confusion 
b) We are beginning to suffer from an assortment of involuntary twitches
c) We find this surprised look whenever we glance in mirrors 
d) We haven't actually slept since last Tuesday 
e) We now realise that the coffee we have been drinking most
     mornings, for years, was actually not too bad  
f) We've been having lots of fun and learning heaps.
