A murky sunset through a dirty car window

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 23h

Well, any sunset is pretty. And this murky little sunset last evening which I observed through my dirty car window was still beautiful. I had an hours wait before my daughter finished her 'tumbling' class and this was my view. The...

The layers of coffee

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 31 Mar

I made coffee in a glass tumbler today. I started with milk in the glass that I frother and then let the machine pour the coffee over it. Guess what - it layered like this. The white milk froth floated on top and the clearing...

Is it too early to open this coffee?

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 29 Mar

The newest coffee beans I bought seemed to be specially brewed for the Easter long weekend which is still 3 weeks away. I ran out of beans this weekend and decided to open it. Have I committed a crime by not waiting for the long...

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 26 Mar

As you'll know, I am a coffeeholic. And today's coffee was special. The high school students make coffee in a coffee van at school every Wednesday for parents. Today it was my sons turn to do the job and I made sure I was the...

A toy library - interesting concept

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 24 Mar

I've seen quite a few toy libraries in the libraries I've visited here. The concept is the same as a book library, but you can borrow toys instead of books. They have toys for a wide range of ages and small to large toys like...

The mornings are getting chilly now

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 21 Mar

Is summer finally over? There was a touch of rain yesterday and today I woke up to see my car window still misted up due to the morning chill. I had to wear my jacket when I left home at 8 am. The day will still warm up around mid...

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 20 Mar

Is mentioned that it rained this morning, but couldn't resist sharing a picture of the fiery orange sunset we had last evening. It was warm, but the the evening looked fiery even after it has cooled down. The picture also shows...

And finally some rain!

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 19 Mar

It's been cloudy the last couple of days, especially in the morning after a hot spell. There's barely been rains this year. We were hoping that the clouds would bring us rain but we're disappointed! Finally this morning, we've...

Cupcakes - not by me!

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 18 Mar

I stick to poorly designed coffee every morning. My daughter and wife decided to make cupcakes last evening and they turned out perfect, even though my daughter was covered in red velvet cake cream that never went away after a...

Broken hearts having coffee..

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 17 Mar

I did my usual unattempted coffee art this morning and the results were heartlessly ruthless. They did look like broken and twisted hearts ready to live and love each other. I didn't know whether to give this to my wife as-is, but...

Visiting the White House.....

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 17 Mar

Am I the next Zelensky? I visited the White House and didn't wear a suit or a tie! Thankfully I didn't get asked any questions. I had a small financial setback as the White House is a small restaurant in a nearby city with decent...

A Tesla pop up display at a shopping mall - desparate times?

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 16 Mar

Tesla is not having a great time this year in Australia. After initial stellar sales and being one of the most popular car here, overall EV sales took a little beating. BYD was already carving a great market space for itself too....

The automatic car wash turned out very average

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 15 Mar

I occasionally drive my car through an automatic car wash and did the same last week because the car was looking dirty and I didn't have time to do a clean. This time, I was unimpressed as a lot of the dust on the windscreen and...

Finally, a Pizza Night

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 14 Mar

Although we make or order pizza a couple of times a month, it's been a while since we had friends over as a Pizza Night. Friday night at 4 pm we decided we'd make it happen and picked up some pizza for dinner with a friend's...

Do you close your home gates overnight

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 13 Mar

I've been surprised that so many homes here do not have a gate or leave them open overnight. Ever since we had the intruder last year, we keep the gates closed. The houses on either side don't have a gate! The house opposite has...

Still a little christmassy at this shop!

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 11 Mar

Most of the christmassy stuff disappears from shops by the first week of January with clearances and sales. This shop still had an entire large section with Christmas clearance sales! We ended up buying a couple of neutral decor...

Is everything green healthy - including this green juice?

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 10 Mar

I bought this green juice on a whim as it looked like it may be healthy and unique. It did taste quite different and I enjoyed it and the veggies and stuff that went into it sounded healthy - but is it? It has a health star rating...

Highways in India are getting better and better

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 8 Mar

Yes, India is congested and crowded and sometimes the infrastructure can seem a little shaky, but there's constant improvement. This is a new highway being built between Bangalore and Chennai and someone sent me pictures of some...

Is this a good way to warn drivers about a long load on top of your car? Only in Australia

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 7 Mar

I've seen weird and funny things here is Australia and this one made me chuckle too. There's never a dull moment in the land down under - literally. This car had long poles/pipes on top and it was the drivers duty to warn drivers...

Pitstop @pitstop (14884) • Australia 3 Mar

I didn't get to see this, but my friend had pictures of a lot of them. Last month, there were these metal beach side sculptures that adorned the sidewalks and the beach side. Set against the sunset, they were very beautiful and...
