Relaxing Coffee - But Somehow Different

It came from deep within but I can't say why!
It just felt right... to spontaneously stop and have a coffee. It also turned out that it was rather relaxing - no stress - no set dates - no 'must do before...'

l could actually turn off and watch the world!

It was simply wonderful. I should learn to try to do this more often.

All wizz and bangs - but not really any better...

If only people would listen and learn from events and experiences already gained!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

They said today would be a horrible day ~ rainy and grey.

It wasn't!

So what better things are to do than have a soothing coffee accompanied with a rhubarb crumble topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream!?

There's something about rhubarb that warps me back in time to 30 years ago...
Picking rhubarb stems and dipping them into a bowl of sugar on hot summer days, in the gardens of Poplar Farm.

Tic Tock Tic Tock...
How time flies!
Tic Tock Tic Tock...
How such things can awaken past memories!
Tic Tock Tic Tock...
Live life!
Tic Tock Tic Tock...

Time doesn't wait for anyone!

Now That's What I Call A Piece Of Cake

That's about right...
Monday morning coffee to wash down a tiny piece of cake!

Day Out To The Bodensee - Dental Appointment

Took the day off work to have a dental check-up. My dentist is still the same one as I had when living in Öhningen back in 1989!

Once the check was done, I decided to drive back through the village of Öhningen and see what has changed...

Much!

What was once Ritz's supermarket!
CLOSED

  What was once the village butcher!
CLOSED

  What was once Conny's Cafe & Bakery!
CLOSED


Sad to think that I spent so much time there - it was where I learnt German, made friends, made memories... 

What was still open was the Adler hotel.

And the Grille pub.

 

 Upsetting to think back and see now.
Just goes to show - time stops for no one!

So I continued to Stein am Rhein for my breakfast - since I hadn't eaten anything prior to the dental appointment at 7:30 am!

Stein in the snow!!!
Yes, it's still winter and snowing...

Nice snow...

But coffee was needed!

And possibly a second one ;-)

From there a quick trip to Touratech to collect some items...

Before driving back to my clubhouse (Moto91) for yet another coffee :-)

A busy day...
Always is when I go to The dentist!

Coffee Time With Luzia

All morning typing away on reports... At some point you need to make a break and turn away from the computer screen! Hello coffee machine.... Mmmmmmm.... Coffee!

Winter's Here

Winter is finally here!



Time for a coffee and Kägi-Fret...

Afternoon Coffee & Cake

Back on track...



Fit again and enjoying a coffee and cake with Anna in Tiengen.

Morning Coffee @ Moto91

It's Saturday...

Morning Coffee..... and chocolate ;)

It's Friday, and I need a 'push me up'! So I think a cappuccino and chocolate is needed to start the day - perfectly!
