If we were having coffee I would tell you how much I miss having real coffee dates. In Australia, we can buy takeaway coffee. But we can’t sit down anywhere to drink it. Mostly I enjoy my takeaway coffee alone. However, occasionally I share the experience with someone. Walking and drinking coffee isn’t the same luxury as sitting down together for a coffee catch-up.
If we were having coffee I would ask you if you did anything to celebrate Anzac Day last Saturday. Although I have always thought about attending a dawn service or Anzac Day march I never have. Some years I have gone to the pub to watch the Two-Up. This is a traditional Australian gambling game only legal on Anzac Day.
This year however was very different. No dawn services, no marches and no Two-Up. Instead families and individuals gathered on their driveways, social distancing and remembering our diggers at 0600. For me, it was very personal. I stood alone on my driveway. I was filled with emotion as I could hear the bugles playing The Last Post over the sounds of birds. Next year, I be on my driveway again. This time I will light the dawn with my candle.
If we were having coffee I would tell you how frustrated I have been over the past month with my blog not working as easily as it used to. The problem is everything needed updating and I am not computer friendly. Making the necessary changes has given me a lot of new knowledge about my blog and computer so my confidence has grown.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I bought a subscription to Disney+for the family as an Easter present. My husband and I grew up in the 60’s watching the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights. Our kids grew up with Disney channel, so there is something on it for everyone. We have all found many hidden gems and been entertained for hours.
If we were having coffee I would tell you I was pleased to complete this years A-Z blogging challenge. I stated a few days late but caught up and finished on time. It was a great way to retrain my brain into writing regularly and simplifying my words. Now the secret is to come up with a plan for Inspiring Max that helps my creativity develop.
If we were having coffee I would ask you how you have been filling in your days during the world’s lock down. Let me know in the comments.
I have never heard of Anzac day! Thank you fro he coffee. I like take-out coffee every once in a while. Some coffee shops are open here, with restrictions. Today I happily sip my black coffee at home. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
I have been giving Disney + some thought. As a bunch of young relatives are due to visit for the summer, that sounds like a great option. The dessert in your photo is quite appealing! I’ve never loved coffee but that chocolate? Mmm. I did try to read your full profile but you’re right- the site was glitchy and wouldn’t let me. You gotta love technology but it can be a nuisance as well.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry it was playing up for you. Hoping it gets more consistent. That desert is actually a cup of coffee. It was so good to look at I took a photo. From memory it was yummy to drink as well.
Hi, I’m visiting from the weekend coffee share link up. Congrats on completing the A-Z blogging challenge! Sounds like you and your family are having some fun with Disney+ during the lock down. Have a good week!
HI IM.
I don’t think we’ve met but welcome to the coffee share.
I’ve been doing it for a few years now and really look forward to each weekend as a great time to just write some easy fun stuff to share.
I hope you enjoy it enough to keep coming back for more.
Hi yes I have always loved the virtual coffee check in. When I was blogging before it was one of my favourite parts and I was pleased it was still running when I returned. i love the great connections and insights into the blogging community. I look for to a regular coffee in the future.
That is a very nice, very delicious looking coffee you’ve got posted up there! Hopefully, the coffee houses will be back to normal soon.
