Last night, I had a really deep - and helpful - conversation about this blog (among other things). Unfortunately, today's New Thing was a new coffee place. Not very deep. I hadn't had a new coffee for ages though (excluding trips to Melbourne) and life is rather hectic right now.
I had a few things to do in the city, but by the time I arrived (after a hair appointment) I was in the unfocused-I-need-coffee-now stage. The Shingle Inn in the Myer centre was the first suitable option, and I was very impressed with my self-restraint in
not indulging in a sugar-fat something.
The service was good - staff with brains, a coffee that was quick enough but not at the expense of quality. The coffee was reasonable - not amazing but better than the surrounding options.
Today's photo:
In between the hair appointment and city stuff, I did something I've been meaning to do for ages (as in, a few years) - I took photos of the trees around the Wesley Hospital. I was a bit late in the season for the money shot of jacarandas, but found these trees along a small street leading to Coronation Drive. The overall effect of the trees was stunning but not great for photographing thanks to the cars. I like the little curled-up buds though.
