Ok, I appreciate that this is the epitome of 1st world problems. I am not looking for sympathy here.

But having 2 homes in different countries is weird. You end up duplicating shit to stop feeling strangely displaced.

I have the same worktop in both kitchens. The same desk. The same TV cabinet. The same door lock.

I. HAVE. THE. SAME. LIGHTBULBS.

The 2 coffee machines make coffee sufficiently differently to piss me off.

Different water quality? When I still lived in Germany, the same brand of coffee, made in exactly the same way at my parents' house and at my studio flat in Nuremberg would taste completely differently. The water in my hometown is quite soft, the water in Nuremberg is particularly hard.

@Ozzy nah. One coffee machine cost 6 times what the other cost. Also, Portugal just has better coffee.

The trick is to be rich enough that you can keep all the most important things in your airship, from which you may then look down with your monocle upon those fools whose lives are immovably tethered to the earth.

@Ian Douglas Scott Yeah. Not even close to that rich. I’m “if you’re careful, you can live in a beach” rich. Not, “mega yacht volcano lair” rich.

And the people who are that rich don't even have airships!

Such wasted potential.

Maybe James Bond is really about the fantasy that the rich villains who control the world are interesting people who live interesting lives.
