Good morning, one and all.
Large black coffee, please, Mr Tex.
Sorry (yawn) no baking today. OK, yet.

Good morning,
One hot and black coming up.
I don't bake, well maybe some shake and bake but otherwise, i have a small family run Vietnamese donut shop a few miles away. Excellent quality.
If you didn't notice, I took yesterday off. Housemate and I had a few things to do, that is besides each other and Houseguest. I was rather surprised that I still clean up pretty good for an old fart.
Fresh coffee all around.

I have a local Bakery (an old-fashioned type) who make the nicest doughnuts . . .
Oh - fresh coffee ?
Just the job. Thank you.

Almost 7pm here in a dark, cold, UK. I could really go for a cup of smooth, yummy hot chocolate about now.
My mum used to put a teaspoon of mint liqueur in hers.

Matriarch! It's great to see a post from you even if February is raw...

I agree, and I'm going to try something rather like that in the next installment of Tales from the Guilds. In this case the guild is the (Ahem) Seamstresses.

Writing can be really hot without being really explicit, but I suppose that depends on the reader's imagination.
From my current story I have this, taken from a dialog between two women, one named Doctor:
I don't know if it's really hot, but in context I really like the effect. It'll probably be tweaked a little before it's done.

Had a crazy day volunteering at the food pantry today. Had a client that we had to go get the director to deal with.
So it was nice to come home to see the story I submitted on Wednesday was approved and should be up tomorrow
Drinking coffee because I plan to make underwear today to put in my etsy shop.
Oh and I applied for a job to be a part time 911 operator. I really hope I get it. I need a paying job and since this is part time I could still volunteer.

How do, Ogg. It's been a while, thought I'd drop in and see how everyone's doing.

I was so pleasantly surprised to see you here again.
Raspberry tea for me. Back from docs, no surgery, recheck after a bit but body already righting itself.

Why, thank you. *accepting the rose with a smile, inhaling the fragrance*, so kind of you to say so. Just had a sudden yearning to see the old place, and see how many of the old order are still here.
Are you OK? Doctor visit?

You need a Beta Reader, perhaps, Bear [Please] ?

I had to run a quick date check, it's been that long since I've seen you on the AH.
Welcome back !
Fingers crossed, Mags.

Yesterday was mixed. The last procedure didn't last so the next will be more extreme. I'm not sure whether to be thrilled. But I was switched from a med billed at US$650/month to one for $20/month so maybe I can afford a mandola soon!
Are many varied axes called tiple, same as guitar or flute. You found performances on the Columbian tiple. Mine is an American tiple as redesigned by Martin. I have my reasons for tuning it (G3 G4 – C4 C3 C4 – E4 E3 E4 – A3 A4). Here are some vids.

Coffee. Not now, but soon enough. And not instant coffee, which has one use: to make young spaghetti sauce taste old. I think it also repels gnats. Does anyone here have secret INSTANT COFFEE confessions?

I have to confess that I usually drink 'instant coffee'; with milk & sugar. I'm not keen on the 'bitter' tastes. This could be why adding the gunge I keep reading about puzzles me.
But I usually enjoy a working of my old Cafe Presse thing after breakfast.
And my spaghetti emerges from a tin. . .
As it is still kind-of early, I'd love a really nice Black Rifle coffee; with cream.
please?

Here you go, HP. Come and join me. Early morning croissants, coffee and me in my pj's.
And now, fueled up, back to "A Troll is Haunting Tex's". I have now written the end. Sorry Tex, the coffee shop is still in one piece. No insurance. But you have a tenant in the basement.... he lives on Twinkies and caffeinated pop and I won't tell you what he's doing down there....

Coffee so potent that it has its own panzer designation and requires a machinist's vise to prepare.

Instant Coffee?
I usually drink Gold Instant Coffee at home but Americano when out.
The Gold coffee is much better than the coffee my parents used to drink, and that I used to take to Scout camps:
Most of the time I and my parents drank it with condensed or evaporated milk.
You can see the evolution of PCness in the labels. It is still a poor substitute for real coffee. Almost any instant coffee is a considerable improvement. But Camp Coffee is still sold as a 'coffee' flavouring for cakes.

Morning all,
No insurance? Well hell. I was hoping to at least remodel.
Uh, what basement? This building doesn't have a basement.
Hey, all writing desks need a bench vise to keep those wandering ideas in place. It works on wandering boyfriends as well, I'm told.
Fresh coffee that won't take the paint off your car if you spill it.

Every girl needs a panzer unit for backup if she's going monster hunting....
Although in the story it's a National Guard battalion and it's the other way round ....
The bench vise? Well, got to work on the guns for the hunting trip..... and yeah, if anyone gets to cocky, well, a vice-like grip keeps things under control...
Oh, shoot! Did I forget to mention that?
Uh, Tex, look out your window.....

Uh, yeah! And all this time I thought someone spiking my coffee was making the building sway.

Chloe, me dear, I'd love to take coffee with you under those circumstances, but I fear retribution from your SO, so if you don't mind, I'll pass, for now. If you have time to join me at Lyons Corner House for a coffee or [real] tea & crumpets, I'd be delighted.
