Definitely one of those weeks.

Sorry to laugh, but it’s a laughing with you sort of thing, not at you, especially where the hot drinks are concerned.

We use an Aeropress for coffee, and me being the house barista, it falls to me.

I have so many of those “moments” with that contraption, it’s amazing I haven’t thrown it across the room in frustration. On any given day, I might:

1. Put the grounds in the cup instead of the Aeropress
2. Forget the filter
3. Forget the base, pouring the grounds straight through the Aeropress tube and into the cup
4. Forget the grounds
5. Forget to grind the coffee entirely

I remember a friend of mine, immaculately dressed in a cream suit, who "pressed"a little too quickly.
Cream with your coffee? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Done a couple of those :)
 
Well my brain is totally out to get me today
Last night I woke myself up from an unpleasant dream (I'm a very light sleeper so I do that)

Then I fell back asleep and had a very weird and unpleasant dream, which morphed into a horror scenario with me trying to flee from the sort of nasty monsters you'd get in a horror film. Don't ask me what they looked like, you don't survive horror films by looking back at the monsters - you survive by looking where you are running, and not falling down!
Anyhow, I managed to wake myself up before they got me, decided I'd had enough of sleeping and got up.

Then I made a cake this evening, and tried undoing the spring-form cake time with bare fingers shortly after removing it from the oven. Tho I touched it, I didn't burn my finger and thumb as the clip had started cooling and also as soon as my hand got close my brain was decent enough to say 'hang on, stop' to me.

My wife bought me back to reality when she got up to use the loo. Most of my dreams I can never remember?

I think that's quite common, either forgetting or only remembering small bits.

I tend to remember larger chunks, and sometimes can deliberately change the dreams direction if I don't like stuff - I think I do lucid dreaming sometimes
