And Refresh....

Todays offering was written a couple of weeks ago whilst sitting in a coffee shop nursing a drink, watching the world pass by.....

Boil kettle, boil!
Brew tea, brew!
Pour spout, pour!
Add milk and....

Ahhhhh!

That's better.

As I sat quietly observing my fellow 'drinkers', this is what I saw....

• An old lady indulgently spooning whipped cream from the top of her hot chocolate into her wrinkled mouth, savouring every spoonful...
• The young mother tenderly sharing a jammy scone with her wriggling toddler...
• The middle-aged couple with nothing to say to each other; each staring in a different direction whilst sipping their lattes...
• The well dressed trio of ladies in their mid 50's; giggling and blushing as they reminisce about their youth together...
• The 2 young, beautiful girls, maybe aged 15 or 16, playing at being grown ups, pulling faces at the bitterness of the espressos they've ordered...
• The tedium etched across the face of the handsome barista...
• The author, sat here, realising her tea is now cold...

Toodle-pip!
