Winter came back with a bump today, delaying the weekend plans. We
were supposed to go to a dinner party and try our hand at the snow
mobile fun.

Right now the weather report could be worse, but the predictions are
for it to steadily deteriorate and we don’t want to be caught out in
it and freeze.

… looks like we will be staying in and drinking instead 🙂

Since moving to Canada my diet has gone downhill but this stuff is so delicious 🙂

I am so glad our new Nespresso machine arrived today. After some
initial difficulty (the machine refused to produce warm water which is
kinda essential for espresso) we got the baby working.

Rather than replace our aeroccino we got one of those whisk type milk
frothing machines. That also refused to work initially and only in a
slightly limp way now. But we persisted and man was it good.

This coffee tastes of home 🙂

After the customer service issue (Dec 15th http://chrisg.co.uk/nespresso-customer-service-fail) I thought I was going to have to give up on my daily Nespresso fix but it seems they got wind of my blog post and called me up to see what they could do to put it right. Long story short I got a new account set up here in Canada and they sent me this lovely “Lungo” cup and saucer set!

Awesome 🙂

Even better, we ordered our new Nespresso machine and UPS say it is being dispatched, so maybe we can have our regular Nespresso lattes at Christmas using our brand new cups 🙂

I asked Nespresso customer service how to change my address to Canada so I can keep buying from them (if you attempt to change country they log you out, logging back in changes back to UK, and the address editing form does not allow me to set Canada as my country).

Here is their “helpful response”.

Edit 20th December 2010 – All is forgiven 🙂
