Costa Skinny Cortado

A BIG Thank You to the lovely Pauli for the coffee money earlier today! That was a nice and gratefully received surprise. With the Double Dip Recession biting me as hard as anyone else, I have had to make significant cutbacks on my caffeine intake.

Gone are the days when I could on a whim order two large speciality coffees and scoff a cake and or sarnie. Nope, now is the time of frugality. Over two years down the line with a static pension and prices and bills rising everywhere.

But today is the 'Day ofFays' and a nice skinny Cortado has now been ordered, and made, and is now about to be consumed :-)

Happy Days indeed. But not the first time in the last week. On Sunday one of my friends ran down the centre of town shouting my name AND when I eventually heard him, I stopped to chat and then he bought me a coffee as well.

Nice things come in three's, so who will step up to the mark and buy me a coffee next?
