Monday Morning Coffee

I don’t drink the stuff, which I know makes me a member of a small minority. I love the aroma, but I’m not that keen on the taste, and I don’t usually drink hot drinks. Some of my friends though are coffee connoisseurs. We meet in coffee shops and I watch them indulge. Coffee is […]
