I am going to feed this back to my local coffee shop that I bought them from FWIW as it's at least the second time in this one box

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 1h

Bought some off-brand filters for my V60 dripper and saw the water and coffee grinds rush through a hole into the mug. Added a spoonful of honey and turned it into the sort of coffee my Latvian granddad used to make. How do you drink your coffee (or tea, I suppose, if we must)

Wait @northernwrites.bsky.social did you actually FIND it in a shop was it Waterstones in Leeds or somewhere else? Somehow I read this as you leaving a random copy there 😅 it's been a long week and it feels weird @thompsonsimon.com

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 15h

It's International Week of Happiness at Work (I know) and I contributed to this article on what orgs can do. When I think about what individuals can do, it involves getting out to talk to people more - in person if that's a possibility, or on social sessions online www.linkedin.com/posts/lisari...

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Ah yes these are cool too! though not quite what I'm after. All of this has made me realise the discovery I did 5 years ago is still entirely valid 👀 and I have ordered a very slightly bigger version of the bag I have been using since :D

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 7d

Thank you for the suggestion! It looks very well made and fit for purpose but isnt quite my style 😊

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 7d

That is beautiful but you're right, it does not 😁

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 7d

Ooh that looks terrific and well made thanks for the suggest, tho this is all making me realise that my previous research still holds true that my Knomo one has a style I love ❤️

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 7d

@peterscottreid.bsky.social @jukes.ie Thanks both! That looks terrific and rugged and I can see why it's so popular as it seems incredibly fit for purpose, but Peter's right (and I hadn't realised) that chic is part of my criteria 😁 i might stick with my Knomo but thank you

Thanks for the suggestion! Filtering to black removes the more outdoorsy ones tho none i can see have the case strap they look cool. They have this incredibly helpful filter 😅

Filter which shows a wild set of sustainability options, like i can choose if the shell fabrics are 100% recycled yarn but I don't want both the seemingly identical but baffling Bluesign (r) filters

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 8d

Ohhh that's a contender thank you 😊

Last time i looked at getting something repaired cost wasn't that far off something new. It is starting to look a bit tatty, too, it's been around the world a few times

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 8d

I might in the meantime but it's a bit of a faff. If I remember to move the zips down the side I think it's also better but the contents are too valuable to trust it

Lisa Riemers @lisariemers.bsky.social · 8d

Ooh nice! None of the ones I like have the wheelie trolley strap but thank you for the suggestion!

"You have to know how to use A.I. for getting any kind of job in the future" has me pondering the fact that we are actually terrible at knowing what we're going to need to know to do in the future.

Looking to get a new work rucksack.

Current Knomo Beauchamp 5 years on gas developed a knack for unzipping if I have to get a wriggle on.

Needs to have the back strap that can sit on a mini suitcase, pockets for moderate size laptop and look tidy.

Any suggestions / should I just replace it?
