Once it Would Have Been Considered a Sad Sight

Tweet

I sat in the corner of my favourite cafe this morning, working on a piece of writing I've been trying to sort out. I sat alone with my coffee, my pages and a pencil, engrossed in what I was doing. I wasn't the only person sitting alone this morning. Two others sat at two different tables, each appearing to be working as I was. There's no wifi at this cafe, so they were no doubt working, as opposed to interacting online. Once someone sitting alone in a cafe, especially a woman, would have been considered a sad sight. But not any more. It's quite a common sight in cafes here these days. I personally can get quite a bit of work done when I step away from the house like that for a while. I enjoy the solitude and the coffee. How about you? Do you sometimes go to a cafe alone, for whatever reason, and make the most of your time there by working on something important to you?
