And up pops the teams message telling me it's time to argue with some contractors about where to place an emergency exit and repeatedly say, sadly, “Grenfell” over and over and over…wish me luck!

Do you sell cheese and ham croissants?
Got a craving for one

I used to have a bad addiction to warm bacon and cheese croissants which the snack van brought to my office building every morning. No hot chocolate though ….

Morning all

Who's making the coffee?

I can if you want. I don’t drink it though so need training. I’ve got tea ️

 

[jonnoback]

And I would love entering that cafe, knocking the snow off my boots before dropping down on a chair, exhaling with a huge chocolate moustache and enjoying the atmosphere.

Pubs round my way are a bit like that. Stone floors and dogs everywhere so they get cosy and steamy and are delightfully warm after a walk

Morning.

 

[deft]

Morning.

Mornin' sunshine

I'm running a cosy cafe in the snow today. Fancy anything?

 

[Wand3rlust]

Coffee. Food.

 

[deft]

Coffee. Food.

And a homely anecdote about the robin that was perched outside watching me open up the cafe this morning?

Nope.
And definitely not before the first coffee

 

[deft]

I’ll have you know people travel from miles around to hear my little stories!

Hmmm, that's nice

Minor rant: I hate contractors.

Could someone please make me up a Mimosa please. It’s going to be that kind of a day.

Not adding to the ornithological chatter. Just fucking freezing.

I’ll add to that. Trades people. A necessary evil but my word; an infuriating species

Trades I’m fine. It’s the contracting managers who see the value of nothing unless they’re getting a cut of it, I hate.

Anyway thank you Deft for that Mimosa.

Wait, wait... does the cafe sell mimosas??
Can I have one?

Promise I'll be sociable and listen to all the stories

Oh, definitely! We're fully licenced!

This is turning into a bit of a knees-up, then!

I get that.

I think it’s the notion of they’re doing me a favour.

No. Service. Cash. Transaction. Accountability. Perhaps something more tangible than a waft of vague as a response to a question

I remember when I was 16 training to be an electrician (yes electric was around then), the guy teaching us, on the first lesson, taught us to suck air through our teeth.

Funniest and also scariest job I ever went to.

Lady of house couldn't understand why whenever someone had a shower, the house shorted out.
So we're in the bathroom, its an over bath shower, NOT AN ELECTRIC ONE.
So my boss starts to look around for any power outlets, like a shaver point. Lady says "oh there's one here my husband installed."

Bolted to the back of the IRON bath is a twin 13amp socket.

When showering, water would drip on it.

Her and her husband could not comprehend the danger of that socket. Insisted that because it was in a cupboard in the bathroom, it was safe.

Very cute - but it does look very cold there!
