Polished my knobs

There's just something about a vintage Europiccola (La Pavoni). I love it when she gleams. Ticking and bubbling gently away as she gets all hot, in preparation to deliver the perfect crema right into my cup...

In recent days, we've had Sting Rays in Mission Creek. “Stung” Rays, for you Kiwis (video)

I managed to nab some video of one of the visiting Sting Rays yesterday (June 20th, 2011). They're one of a number of seasonal visitors we have here on (in?) Mission Creek each year...sometimes it's shoaling fish (of a kind I'm not sure), other times it's seals... right now it's a few Sting Rays. Or... “Stung” Rays for lovers of the ABC's Beached Az series. :)
