Well here I am, Christmas Eve, sitting in the Stories Space Coffee House sipping on a mug of really good green tea, about to write about coffee!
That's the thing when you are travelling, you leave your fav blend behind and it's not always possible to find it anywhere but home
So today I went shopping for coffee, without a clue as to which investment to make. (One's coffee is an investment right?!). Despite it being Chrissy Eve, not a single wise man was in sight, let alone three! ... so was forced to trust my own judgement (dear Lord!).
A flash of inspiration
.. ok, it's Chrissy, so perhaps divine intervention... caused me to evaluate a multitude of coffees based on the manufacturers' descriptions, the most boring 'reads' imaginable... well all except one. This is what it said ....
from the manufacturer
We've got a solid supplier and guarantee this Air Bed Roasted coffee to be fresh and uncut. We're respectable businessmen baby, and we've got a reputation to uphold.
If you're looking for Recommended Daily intake information then you're out of luck. Insomniacs shouldn't touch this at all. Long haul truck drivers on the other hand should double up. Other than that, if you can't sleep at 4am because of our product don't come crying to us. We ain't your mother.
Christmas Morning is the moment of truth! .. didn't those singing Angels say something like that? Wonder if they bought some too? They were up all night!

She was my friend here on SS. I will miss her.
Yet another loss for the Story Space Community and those who knew her,.
I do hope they keep her profile and stories on like they did for Alan.
Perhaps they should consider some type of status that could be attached to lost members profiles? Maybe a badge of a different color, "Gone, but not Forgotten" or a halo over the Avi. Just a thought...
What a wondeful suggestion. Please send this to Admin. What a unique acccolade to pay to a member who has supported the site.

It is 11:08pm on a Friday night, in Alice Springs. A little over a week before Christmas. Sitting here in the lounge, trying to decide what to watch on Netflix. Nice pleasant evening. Today, I had my niece aka lil monkey with me this morning. Best aunty ever 😂😂 Babysitting duty until 4:30pm. The struggle is real 😂😂😂😂
Bet it's warm in the Alice. Are they predicting a blistering summer?

Cripes, please do not talk about riots even in a jesting way. Here in France, and yes I actually live here, have done so for 30 years, this violence and unrest is no joking matter.
Hayly maybe you are overlooking some of the lads who might be using foundation, no need to limit the call, right?
Men? Do you think President Trump uses foundation? ... matte with a touch of yellow ferrous oxide .. (used in pharma as a coating).
I didn't mean to offend with the riots thing. Have edited the post. As I was writing it I did think of not posting it at all.. but then I would have forgotten it. I know you live in France. I used to visit a lot when I was at boarding school. Now I come each year at the end of September and stay through to the end of November at least. My Mum used to live there. I left Paris 2weeks ago and it was a really sad experience. It was the first time I have ever been glad to leave. It's such an awesome place.
It is such a shame that peaceful protests get hijacked and now the Strasbourg stuff. So sad.
