Ben’ll Fix It

I’m feeling a bit virtuous at the moment, I’ve just fixed my digital thermometer after I burned through the cable in a fit of retardedness.
I haven’t checked that it still gives the right temperature, but it looks about right.
If anyone’s interested, it’s a digital thermometer from Ikea, and it costs about a fiver, perfect for roasting meat, or checking the temperature of the water you pour onto your coffee. (yes I do that, what a gimp)

wish list

this is my growing wish list of things that i want, but can’t quite bring myself to buy just yet (especially as i spend so much on parking tickets these days!)

thermometer to measure the water temperature for my brewing pleasure
scales, so i know how much coffee (not cocaine) i’m using
a La Spaziale S1 espresso machine for the pimp mansion
i think i’d like one of these (a cunill tranquilo) too, but i can’t decide if it’s better than my current grinder
and chemex filter coffee glass for more modest coffee times
bike/outdoor stuff  
alpkit make really nice, minimal stuff, really cheap, perfect…i’m tempted by almost everything they make!
a 29r single speed mountain bike, for my off road fantasies
mmm, teva sandals
classic, old school, beautiful…not putting anything else up my arse once i can afford not to!
jonny cycle a hand made track bike from jonny cycles

any wordpress geeks out there who know why my site always look so bad, and want to tell me all about it are more than welcome to!
