Coffee cup

Writer's picture: Bjørk O'HaraBjørk O'Hara

I was working on a post, and my internet decided to refresh. That meant I had no time to save and lost all my work. I hate it when it does that. But sometimes you can't help it. And who knows maybe it will be better than the 'preview' work.

I came to a cafe and ordered a coffee, which came and went in a flash. A freshly made scone warmed my stomach with goodness, a 'too sweet' sweet flapjack, which unfortunately couldn't quite finish, and a nice glass of cold, chilled water.

Sitting here, I try and get the inspiration to flow through my fingers and dance on my keyboard. I am not completely disappointed with the lack of inspiration, as I sit next to a group of old ladies and their husbands. They sit, laughing and sipping on their coffees and teas. There is a man in a green sweater, sitting alone not far from my table. Coffee and hot chocolate arrived in front of him. As he sits back and looks out of the window. He is lost in thought. As she arrives and takes her seat in front of him, his smile widens, as she starts to speak. You can see the glistening in his eyes, from the love he has for her. I look around the busy cafe, and see three old couples, drinking their hot beverages, not saying a word to each other. Enjoying their time together, but not talking.

The servers make themselves look busy, in order not to clean the tables. Laughing together, helping the time they have to work go by fast.

Time ticks by, as the business decreases and increases by the minute. I am still here, two hours after I arrived, feeling refreshed, and ready to get back to work.

I order one last glass of water and ask for the bill. I take a look at the receipt, and my eyes pop out of my eye sockets. The price is ridiculous. But I understand as this place is quite expensive. I take my card out, pay the bill, and pack away my laptop, feeling the inspiration for my stories. My list for the next couple of hours isn't too long. so I should start. Carve three pumpkins, prep for dinner and make lunch for two. Get ready for front-of-house duties. Paint a smile on my face.

'Break a leg' as they say!
