coffee
Breakfast
I had an early start today – which gave me a chance to go for a walk before the day got too hot. This was the view I had with my fresh coffee and brioche. If McDonalds had been open I would probably have spent my money there and then carried on working from there until the car parking ran out. My coffee is as good as theirs and this view is much better.
I have an unlimited data plan on my phone, which I share to my iPad when working this way.
I was using the iPhone 5 as a calculator – the photo was taken on my iPhone Xs.
(Octagon recently put a new battery in my old (redundant) iPhone 5. Now it makes a great music and audiobook player when I am walking, saving the battery on my iPhone Xs and AirPods.)
If you would like more information on working from anywhere or have a smartphone that needs a new battery or screen drop Kamila at Octagon a message via their website.
Walk and a coffee
The meeting this afternoon was cancelled so I took the opportunity to at last walk further than just round the village.
I bought this stove back in January but have not had an opportunity to use it. I keep it in a pack in the boot of the car, with the Sierra cup, some water and coffee, for days like today when I had not planned for a brew stop.
It worked OK but there were a lot of flames and it left more residue in the stove than I expected. But it was compact, easy to carry with three pots of fuel and a wind shield packed inside it and it boiled about 300ml of water on one fuel portion (in windy conditions). As a stand-by stove with well packed fuel for long term storage it is just what I was looking for.
Coffee in bed
The lockdown wild camping experience – a trip to the back garden! However early morning fresh coffee in bed is still an essential part of the “trip”, before going in doors for breakfast.
