Ok my place is in a state where I'm happy enough for my married platonic friend to visit tonight.. I'm done lol
I'd scrub a few more things if I were trying to impress but it's pretty good how it is. Feels good too.
My PC is still a bit of a mess with wires but fuck it.. that's a job for Ron.
Edit: SHIT I HAVE NO CLEAN SPARE TOWEL WASH WASH WASH. I absolutely do not have time to dry this thing.. I'll have to duck out to the laundromat or something. I can't even tell her to bring one coz she'll be on the train by now lol
Although I almost never have people visit let alone stay over, your edit is why I have like 8 towels. Shit takes forever to dry! Enjoy the company!
I used to have more but I threw them out when I got a new set for Christmas thinking "why would I need more than 2 towels?"
Oh cruel twist of fate! It'll be ok. We take the hits and roll with the punches.
can confirm
You might like my friend Charlie too, who is in charge of my charging cable.

I know :( I've been meaning to sort all of this out for ages. There's a Nvidia Shield TV Pro on top of my PC and PS4 and a Switch behind the PC which aren't helping with the mess. I also for the life of me can't find my bluetooth keyboard to go wireless for that. I've apparently hidden it too well. Mic, speakers, webcam, fan and all of the usual stuff.
It all makes sense but it's just.. messy.
Engaging emergency tea towel sequence in t-minus...
I actually do have an unused hand towel from my towel set which COULD be a valid substitute but it's a bit dodgy. The hand towel is pretty large but it's not quite a "bath sheet" like my proper ones.
Do you ever make kahlua mochaccinos?
Never have! Honestly I haven't used the espresso machine for... I don't know how long. I really should get some beans and fire it up again. Also that kahlua bottle is empty, one of the ones I poured down the sink the other week because I'd had it for years. The only thing I ever made with it was espresso martinis way back in 2019 as shown here:
That looks like it would've been a nice drink. What's it called when it's made with tequila instead of vodka? I always preferred it that way...
It was lovely! I didn't know people made them that way but apparently they're just called a Tequila Espresso Martini
