My local already has advent calendars and Christmas stuff out (only in one isle, not full- blown chraids yet)

It’s from a French word, and the part that is being non-'d is ultimately from a Latin verb ‘to get hot’ (“Calere”).

So is just a fancy way of saying coolly

Even without any particular care needs or neuro-differences, a lot of kids can sometimes be a danger to themselves when out in public. Our public spaces are not designed to mitigate this, and it tends to happen at a stage when their ability to understand and obey verbal instructions is low (or at least slow), and physically controlling them is extremely unergonomic for the adult (too heavy to constantly pick up, too short to constantly hold their hands).

Tell that to French old ladies. I’ve had the pleasure of waiting in line at the supermarket check out while Granny in front writes a cheque for her groceries, far more recently than you’d expect!

Bottle-o!

I’m not sure how you spell it, actually.

There’s a huge variance around this though. Size of cup, amount of ground coffee used, variety of coffee (robusta has much higher caffeine than arabica), how roasted it is… It might be around 150 mg per cup, but could easily be nearly half or nearly double that.

Bloody small cylinders, always getting stuck in things!

All right then, keep your secrets.
