The Hornet's Nest

Night Toby, have a good one

 

Morning All, Weather as usual.

After my late night here, I hope that I have the energy today to contine my quest for a new driving license plus other things that have to be done before I go on my hols next week.

Some of ak's coffee usually gets me up and running. Maybe I will go for the double strength one today.

 

Is it more important to get the little icons and points than actually having a chat?

 

Hi Toby.. which part of France?

Morning all

MMe yorkie thinks it's very amusing that during the easter break they changed from starbucks to GRUMPY MULE coffee here at fawlty towers.... I just have no idea why she finds that even mildly amusing.... I for one am particularly aggrieved because the tasy of this new coffee is just not up to the mark....

 

Góðan daginn til allra.

If today was a colour that colour is grey. We have heavy clouds and 4C. The top of the fjall is into the cloud.

Cappuccino, coffee, tea and donuts are on the bar.
Frothy cappuccinos for al Leon and W_Y
Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev rob and theo
Strong coffee for Sandy
Milky coffee for Yorkie
Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
Tea for jsybaz
Coffee and cake for Minx
Caramel latte for Hornette
A chocolate monster for BBW
And a redwine for NZ as he is so ahead of us in time

 

Do you not find that all coffee shop chains serve burned coffee. Coffee should be roasted well before grinding the beans to dust not burned. Costa and Starbuck are very bad for this.

 

My parents live in the middle left bit, near Poitiers, but in the deep countryside. Lovely place, just not very exciting

I do miss it though...

Just posted a quick article on General Chat about this, it makes me very angry...

morning all! Late for my caramel latte! Thanks Ak It's a beautiful day, but a little chilly...can someone bring back summer please? Or was that it?!

Have a lovely day one and all, good luck with all your running around M Frenchie!

 

Morning all from a chilly windy but sunny rogaland morning

 

Someone should have let this guy know

Thanks Toby I may take you up on the offer of assistance It was good to chat to you in the nest last night

 

ak... you have a new career ahead of you... making good coffee!

Toby .. our place is east of limoges.... frenchie is not so far from poitiers...

 

Yorkie when I say near Poitiers it's about an hour away, pretty much in between Poitiers and Niort. Limoges is a lovely place, my parents have just bought a flat in Aubusson to maybe retire in. I love the centre of France, beats the south anytime!

 

Bonjour mes amis...

All this talk of France reminds me we'll be off to Ile de Re in 4/5 weeks' time. Mrs H has just booked lunch in a Michelin starred restaurant in La Rochelle. Off to buy some shelves for the garage now. It might even enable us to clear enough floor space to put the car in there occasionally.

 

Theo if you're in that part of the world I really recommend the Ile d'Aix, a beautiful little island off the coast with no cars. There's a bike circuit all the way round which is really worth doing!

 

Morning all - Bright & lovely morning in West West London, but I had to scrape off some ice when I left Bandit Country at 06.00 am!

Thanks for the frothy AK and fully agree about Costa, the Americano in corporate madness is as bitter as hell....

No news on QPHa as yet..

 

Thanks Norway but ak puts out a coffee for me and I take a while to get through that.

 

No worries Zen talking of coffee time for another before prepping a bike to go to work on!

 

for you two Norway and Zen. I can do no more than ten little pictures so the general morning coffee has no pictures.

 

Greetings Hornetty-betty
