So have any of the other Australians here ever tried a Wattlechino? It's a non-coffee, non-caffeinated cappuchino made from wattle instead of coffee beans.
Well, I was hunkered down in a caff near work today waiting for the rain to stop so I could get to my car, and I'd already had a black coffee and I'm trying not to overcaffeinate myself in the evenings, and I'd just finished a critique that I spent the weekend putting off so I was feeling expansive and experimental and curious, so...
Hmm. It didn't exactly light up my world and vault onto my must-order list (the way the Italian mocha at a certain other establishment recently did) but it wasn't unpleasant. Sort of a nutty flavour that was, well, "subtle" to be charitable, or "weak" to not be. Tasted more like a lightly flavoured milk drink than a coffee variant. If they can find a way of concentrating and intensifying the coffee flavour (and perhaps taking the price down a notch) they might be on to something.
Anyway, it was still raining when I was done so I went and saw The Host. You probably should too.

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you here
On the other hand, good on you for making a positive plan and getting to work on things. I've known too many people who don't actually move to that stage.
Canberra's a nice town. It's just not the nice town for me. Too many of my mothers[1] live/have lived here.
My condolences on your grandmother, and I hope your last meeting with her is as good and peaceful as it can be.
I'm trying to figure out how I can possibly prepare myself for this. I just don't know what I'm going to do; she's my hero.
I really love it when a gig can be a cathartic experience like that. Although I hate the sorts of feelings you describe at the beginning of the night, about 100 times more so when in crowded public places.
