An awesome coffee, that I’m finding tastes amazing in the stovetop/moka pot! This “6 cup” Bialetti (from M&S Home) works great with 30g of ground coffee and you only want to produce about 2fl oz (about 2 espresso shots) worth of liquid; once the coffee starts up the spout take it off the heat and you’re sorted!

Anyone visiting Belfast recently could hardly miss the construction going on along the banks of the Lagan. Rising above it all is the extremely tall and growing Obel Tower; here’s what Wikipedia has to say:

The Obel Tower is a building currently under construction in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Costing £85 million and measuring 80.5 metres (265 ft) in height, the tower when completed is set to dominate the Belfast skyline. It will overtake the current tallest skyscraper in Ireland, Windsor House (80 m), also in Belfast. Developed by the Karl Group, the Obel Tower is located on Donegall Quay on the River Lagan beside the Lagan Weir.

My brother, Mark, an architecture student at UUJ, recently got a look around inside, here are a few of his photos. Just look at how small the other buildings are and he wasn’t even at the top!

I overheard a group of children complaing about having to attend an extra maths class. “I hate maths” One said, followed by their friend, “Maths is the root of all evil” An obvious misquote of the famous misquote of 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” As often is the case someone then corrected them. “The Love of maths is the root of evil” Quickly followed by: “No! The love of maths is the square root of all evil” You’re probably rolling your eyes, but I found it pretty funny, so today I decided to solve the equation. So assuming that the sum of all evil is the number of the beast, 666 and that God’s love is the most perfect and the number of perfection is 7, then as you can see above Math equals 3.68. So there you have it

Spelga Dam and the Mourne mountains looked magnificent in the unusual September sunshine. I was tempted to play with HDR, but the colours are so vibrant already I don’t need to.
