If we were having coffee this afternoon I hope it is at this amazing coffee shop my work colleagues introduced me to yesterday while we were attending training. Alma Bar and Kitchen on Stanley St Darlinghurst coffee was so good that I returned on my home for a second cup. To my surprise and delight as my second cup was as good as the first. Next time I have a day out in Sydney I will take a little walk and visit my new favourite coffee shop again. Next time I might add a yummy cake to my cappuccino.
If we were having coffee I would tell you how I love Sydney in Spring. I love feeling of the sun on my skin for the first time after the layers of winter. The city comes to life by the colours of the flowers starting to bloom and the lifeguards beginning their patrols of our beaches again.
If we were having coffee I would tell you how much I enjoyed the free tickets my husband won to the movies last weekend. I will be doing a movie review in the upcoming weeks on the film we saw Blinky Bill: the movie. It made me laugh and I carried on smiling all day.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I walked out of a restaurant recently because I was furious with the chef. Apparently it is too hard to sprinkle mushrooms on only one-quarter of the pizza my husband and I wanted to share, so he refused to do it. I wouldn’t have minded if the mushrooms were part of a prepared sauce but I thought the other was ridiculous and left because I couldn’t support such a precious chef.
If we were having coffee I would tell you how much I have enjoyed returning to daily blogging through my participation in the latest Writing 101 course. I am meeting many new friends, gaining inspiration and visiting many new blogs.
If we were having coffee I would tell how excited I was this afternoon to achieve a year-long goal to de-clutter and remove several in and out trays that took over the bench space in our office for years. Everyone had used them as a dumping ground for odd bits of paper for years. Now I don’t recognise my desk and its awesome, it may have taken all day but it is worth it and I surethe empty space will create better feng-sui.
If we were having coffee I would ask you how your week has been. Let me know in the comments what you have been up to and if you would like us to have regular coffee catch-ups in the future.
Good post, I like how this style of post gives you an insight into the writer in a quick way.
Yes it does and I think it helps the writer think more about the reader.
The no mushrooms on one side of your pizza story is just bizarre – glad they lost a customer. How long would it have taken him – a whole 10 secs. Nice sharing a cuppa with you today.
Thanks. Yes I am a very tolerant person was I won’t be worked all over. The next restaurant was great and interested in customer service.
I don’t always like or comment (I forget…sorry…really bad about that) but I really enjoy your posts!
“Spring” threw me off for a moment and then I remembered we’re in opposite hemispheres. 🙂 I totally agree about the mushrooms. Mine have to be FRESH, not canned (canned is okay, but fresh mushrooms on pizza…oh yeah!) and I like them with sliced pepperoni–have you tried that? YUM.
Have a super day!!
I agree. I don’t think I have had a canned mushroom in 30 years. No I haven’t tried mushroom with pepperoni but I will add it next time I make a home-made one. My daughter likes pepperoni so my husband is always making them and I know he is capable of cutting up one or two mushrooms for my quarter of the pizza. Thanks for coming to coffee.
Sounds like he’s a better chef! 🙂
Can’t remember if I asked you on another post already; if not, please share a link to one of your posts in the comments of my latest post! It’s a networking post. I’ll definitely read it and hopefully others will, too. 🙂
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I have been trying to play catch-up this week with Writing 101 but I just can’t seem to ever get there. Before I turn around another day passes and another post appears. Perhaps I am going to have to skip one or two here or there along the way.
I have really enjoyed your Coffee Catch-up Great idea.
That was my week last week. I caught up with most on the weekend and the ones I missed I wasn’t interested in. Thanks for joining me.
If we were having coffee I would say “Thank you for sharing your week with me. And thanks for asking about mine. I went to Brisbane to celebrate our only (so far) grandson’s first birthday and had an amazing day with family and friends. I hope we can catch up over coffee again soon.”
How special. I love celebrating milestones like that with family and friends and reliving them through the memories and photos created. We certainly will do coffee again soon.
I love this coffee date idea and how we get to know a little bit more about each of our lovely bloggers through it. It is nice having coffee with you:) Look forward to more coffee dates with you!
Thanks it is fun getting to know other bloggers.
Hi Max, thanks for wandering by my blog and the follow! It is always great to find a fellow Australian and I take from the coffee catch up that you may also be a Sydneysider?? Your coffee catch-up is brilliant and gives us a view into your life. I’d be sure to come back to read the series! ?
We were in Sydney now moved home to Newcastle. Yes I love finding other Aussie blogggers and seeing how their world differs from ours. Looking forward to our journey together.
Me too!
