Reception

This morning, I met with the cathedral's head guide to discuss the upcoming Brisbane Open House (October 6 if you want to mark your diaries and calendars...).  She suggested coffee at the place next door.  I thought she meant around the corner, but she really did mean right next door.  Reception is in the lobby of the building on the corner of Ann and Wharf Streets. 

Good advice, that.  ("I know it's Monday but it's a new day, a new week and in that lies a new opportunity for something special to happen").  Although it was quite chilly outside, the sun streaming through the glass walls made it quite warm.

The coffee came quickly and was reasonable - definitely up there in the chocolate department!  And lovely staff - always a plus.

I didn't take a photo, but the counter is beautiful.  Carved wood - just beautiful.  There are a few chairs inside, and a comfy sofa (in full sun), and a few chairs outside.  No bin or non-takeaway cup option, so they don't seem to be encouraging people to stick around.  Their edibles looked yummy but I'm trying to be good.

Today's photo:

Another stained-glass-reflection-on-the-stonework shot.  I'm a bit obsessed with stained glass right now.
