Good Morning!

I wasn’t going to post today. Firstly I have a raging hangover and I’m finding it hard to string a sentence together never mind write to my adoring masses ( hello all 3 of you) *chuckles to herself *

A time where you could eat your food straight away. Sip your coffee as it arrives. Hot …just a fond memory.

My long suffering Mr knows better than to tuck in straight away. I need the obligatory food / drink shot first, complete with a re-arranged pretty looking table. You know just so the object of desire (cake / sausage / coffee) looks picture perfect ?

It goes something along these lines …

Oh no, no, no… that spoon doesn’t look at all right there (moves slightly to one side) Throws menu on floor ( much to annoyance of waiter) it was getting in the way.
