Welcome and come on in.  I’m drinking green tea today. What can I offer you – I have almost everything in the hot drink department including herbal and green teas, and you are still limited in the cold drinks to water, water or water with cordial. I do have fizzy water that you are welcome to try.

If we were having coffee I’d tell you that finally we got some rain. Overnight we got about 5 inches of good soaking rain. You can almost watch the grass grow and it certainly turned green overnight. For some reason when it rains I feel as though I am on holiday and when it stops raining it takes me several days to realise that the holiday is over. Today I had to water the garden again. Vegetables take so much water, particularly with our heat and it isn’t even summer.

If we were having coffee I’d tell you that I’ve had an non-eventful but enjoyable week. My garden is growing and I have already started eating the lettuce and spinach. I have finally remembered the routines for the dances I am being examined on in November. I wasn’t particularly worried about whether I remembered them or not but when you dance them with someone who doesn’t lead well it does make it easier to know them yourself. If I dance with the dance teacher and a couple of others it will be no problem as I am a good follower. I have had coffee a couple of times with friends and also had dinner with friends I haven’t seen for some time. I have been reading and writing and trying to get my photos in order. I will continue on with that task today I hope.

If we were having coffee I’d tell you that I feel as though I have lost the plot just a little. I discovered that the coffee shop we have coffee in every morning was supplying our coffee gratis. Not by their choice of course but because we simply walked out several mornings in a row and didn’t pay them. When they eventually told us about our non payment neither of us could remember whether we had or hadn’t made payment. Naturally we were embarrassed and paid immediately. On the same day we were told of this I didn’t take money with me to my dance lesson. Another embarrassment although the dance teacher wasn’t concerned. He knows I’ll be back again this week. It is little things like this though that does make you wonder whether you are starting to lose your ability to live in the world. Probably it was just that our routine was slightly changed to normal – but is that just an excuse. I guess time will tell.

Now it is your turn. How was your week? Has your weather been warmer/colder, wetter/drier. Have you read any good books or seen any good films?  I finished reading Relativity and will review it sometime this week. Thank you for dropping in for coffee, it is lovely to see you. I haven’t been able to find our weekend coffee host, Diana, from part-time monster and hope all is well for her.
