Cappucino at La Vina, Deansgate, Manchester

Waiting with expectation for a friend at La Vina, Spanish tapas bar...ordered a couple of cappuccinos...met familiar faces from years ago when we used to see our friend Esteban from Argentina who worked there. Heard news he is married now and living in Buenos Aires. Great meal with a free bottle of wine. The coffees were a bit watery as if made with skimmed milk..a bit disappointing in comparison to café con leche in Spain.

large cappucino and an extra shot

Leeds railway station café on platform 12 / 13, it's going to be a long haul waiting for the train to Harrogate, let's get a coffee that's going to keep me going this Sunday. I've got a 55 minute wait, having come from Manchester by rail. Entire journey's going to be 3 hours. Surprisingly good coffee, flavoursome but not bitter and cheery, friendly staff.

Coffee and therapy

Went to Mood Swings offices and was offered a hot cup of instant coffee and chatted about the concept of diablo dave. The coffee helped me talk from the heart and take a risk of exposing my inner psychi to disbelief. But all ended well and I went on my way on this sunny afternoon.

Manchester Airport. Ritazza cafe

Venue for a  catch up with best girl friend from work. Good range of Sandwiches and alcohol (only served to people who don't work at the airport). Talking about her PR and promotion work and my latest drama. Nice to be seen with such a glamorous lady and not sat on my own with the company of a newspaper. Popular venue for our staff and other airport workers...only wish I had a suitcase and was jetting off somewhere..like Florida or anywhere.

Baltzersen Coffee House, Harrogate

This has got to be the most sophisticated coffee bar in Harrogate, with ample seating and adult company. A Scandinavian take on snacks and refreshments with very polite and professional staff. The large size of coffee is just the right  size, forget the small and there's outdoor space too. Situated near back entrance to Marks and Spencers and McDonalds.

coffee made for me at home

Bless James for surprising me with a  cappuccino this morning when I'm off sick. I know how challenging the coffee machine is for him.

Coffee at home

Desperate bid to 'pull oneself together' having called in sick at work, and need to get back out there and do as planned...back to the office armed with a biography / autobiography of John Nash and Stephen Fry.
Coffee a bit sloppy and not quite hot, but it will do.
