Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Anton Shepelev
I read your message from 17.06.2022 01:48
AH> Alexander's wording leaves the time frame more open to question.

AH> Charles M. Schulz used a similar strategy in a 1989 PEANUTS

AH> Linus: I hear your grandfather has taken up golf.
AH> Charlie: He's been playing for about a year..
AH> Lucy: That's a long time to be out on the course..

The size of a coffee cap in Russia depends on what you are going to eat with
your coffee. ;)

I tried several times to make coffee from ground roasted coffee beans, but
could not make anything worth with my cezve. Have you seen a video in the
Internet how to prepare a really good coffee?
Bye, Ardith!
