The world is skewy today.
There are too many people and I feel displaced. The time doesn't feel right. And the man with too much gold jewellery is here in Costa. He makes me feel that I'm living in the wrong world. I know not...

My teapot only contained enough water for one and a half cups of tea. I should probably complain, but I shan't as I've been hogging this seat for nearly an hour now. I have a mouthful left. It's cold. How long can I make it...

When I ordered my skinny hazelnut latte I definitely asked for it to drink in. They made it up in a take-away disposable {but not recyclable, Costa ... shame on you} cup and now I'm sitting here, enjoying the ambience whilst one...

A long line of woman use the mirrors in the public conveniences for the beautifying of their faces; trowels and mascara litter the surfaces. How they can stomach leaving the house without make-up I can't even begin to imagine, but...

Here I am, sitting in Costa, cradling my skinny hazelnut latte. The world is whizzing by. Some people stroll by, their heads attached to music. Others hurry along, late for work.
Costa is full of women, not a man to be seen....

I doubt many people saw the rainbow. I saw it, as I walked from the bus stop to Costa. It brings promises of a delightful day and happiness. Spring-like sunshine, coupled with the cold frost of a winter's day, create happy folk...

Here I am, in my favourite, squidgily soft and cuddly chair in Costa. It's FRIDAY! I love Friday ... every day should have a Fri in it.
Seriously? A large mochachochacreamygooyness at this time in the morning? That's not me, by...

Somebody has forgotten to turn the heating on in the shopping centre. As I sit here in Costa, nursing my skinny hazelnut latte, my fingers freeze. No frostbite just yet, but it won't be long.
As I poured my sweetener into my...

I just spent the majority of my bus journey sitting next to a woman who was more than happy to air her laundry {it wasn't really dirty} in public. She was nattering on the phone to her friend Andrea, or maybe Angela. I was trying...

Every Friday morning I see the same young lady in Costa. I say young, but in all actuality she's probably verging on middle age; those occasional grey strands in her otherwise dyed hair give the game away. Her style of clothing is...

It is not an ordinary Friday.
Here I am, again, sitting in Costa, twiddling my thumbs and people-watching before catching my second bus of the day.
It's currently twelve minutes past eight. John Lewis is already open. The...

Here I am, once again in Costa, watching the world go by. I can hear squirtles and squishels, the clink of cup against teaspoon and the incessant chatter of the woman who won't allow anyone else to speak.
But I don't want to talk...

I'm currently enjoying a Gingerbread & Cream latte in Costa, with fifteen minutes to kill. A Christmas Robin graces my 'to take-away' cup and the gingerbread man who was precariously sitting on top is now sitting comfortably in my...

Here I am.
Here I am, sitting in Costa, my next bus not for another twenty-five minutes. I have a small skinny latte and refused to succumb to the temptation of the sweet sugary cakes and biscuits which already grace the...

Yesterday fire broke out on Costa Allegra, near the islands of Seychelles. This ship belongs to the same company that owns Costa Concordia, cruise ship that recently hit the reef in Italy, and 20 plus people had died in accident....
