Ginger, lemon and an aspirin on the side. It's drizzling outside and 44*F or about 7*C. Clearly I slept hours ago and went back in time to winter.

Sounds good.
Weather colder here, too, cloudy and overcast.
Now, I am debating preparing a coffee, perhaps with hot milk and brown sugar........
It was mentioned in passing on ITV News and I thought I misunderstood or had misheard. It's a bit odd, but they've been together for a long time now. Not really anyone's business.
Yes, agreed; it seems that they have been together for a very long time, and very happily by all accounts.
Back on topic, I didn't have time today to prepare the Ethiopian coffee with hot milk and sugar that @JamesMike had mentioned yesterday, but - as tomorrow is Sunday - a nice leisurely pottering around sort of day - I expect that I shall manage to prepare it then; indeed, I look forward to doing so.
Enjoy.
The carer was sick today, which meant that I found myself running around doing some of the stuff she normally does on a Saturday; tomorrow will see the French Press, and a saucepan (for hot organic milk) brought into play.
Ever sine you (@JamesMike) mentioned hot milk and sugar, this has been sitting in my mind, a permanent source of nagging temptation, not least as the temperature has dropped sharply since yesterday.
Don't forget a splash of cream, too. A little richness never hurt anyone.
Prepared a delicious pot (French Press) of coffee. This comprised freshly ground beans from two types of Ethiopian coffee and one type of Kenyan.
To serve with it, I prepared a saucepan of hot (organic) milk.
Delicious.

Just drank this with some full fat organic milk. Ethiopian Fahem Limu Natural. Absolutely gorgeous.

Love Ethiopian coffee, (as this thread well knows) and I am of the opinion that full far organic milk complements it very nicely indeed.
Enjoy.
I'm growing to like it more and more. At first I was making it too weak but since I've added more beans and altered my grind settings to a bit finer, it's been lovely. This cup I'm now drinking is one of those you don't want to end. Lovely.
Funny, I really don't drink milk - not even in my cereal (prefer nut milks now) though I love any fermented dairy products (yogurt, kefir, most any good cheese). In coffee it's an exception, I still prefer mine black but some nice full fat milk in a café au lait or a cappuccino really hits the spot.
Nice cappuccino topped off with freshly ground cinnamon.
Did a doubletake on this thinking it was some weird Irish coffee glass mug and instant coffee.Just drank this with some full fat organic milk. Ethiopian Fahem Limu Natural. Absolutely gorgeous.
A day off today. Currently having a wonder around town. Stopped at Starbucks now for coffee and a read of my book. This will continue this afternoon in my garden, should the weather stay fine.

Enjoy your coffee and day off.
As I may have written here before, I love the idea of - and indeed, the ambience of - Starbuck's.
However, their coffee, (stale, bitter, over-extracted) leaves a lot to be desired.
For myself, just now, I am enjoying a mug of Ethiopian coffee.
