the coffee smells good

i have just had breakfast and read the paper. i'm not sure how long i will be able to enjoy such a relaxed start to my day, as i will probably have to get a job. make that definitely.

i have been limiting my coffee intake severely recently, after i had to spend a day in bed withdrawing. i don't drink a lot but i find even one a day, every day means i get a thumper of a headache when i don't have a coffee for a couple of days.

we have been without ground coffee in the pantry for more than a month, now. we have got instant - eeek [for those guests who don't care] and we have got fancy schmancy for the espresso makina, which i don't know how to use, andwhich, truth be told, i don't like.

i like cafe coffee, ie a skinny latte, or at home i like plunger coffee.











i have two pots like this. one is small, good for cafe a deux. the other makes up to 6 cups.

at the prahran market on saturday i bought half a kilo of nicaraguan coffee. the girl said it was velvety, and the cup and a half i just drank now were indeed velvety.

went very nicely with my two round crumpets with slabs of BUTTER and honey on top.

i didn't feel guilty indulging because i had earlier done a big walk with the gigi. first time out with my ipod, which i am affectionately calling mypod, i strode out with alot more enthusiasm than usual.

so happy things about today: velvety coffee, crumpets and honey and mypod. and the gigi.
