Café life

We went to Melbourne on a long weekend to celebrate a long relationship that goes into its third decade. And our boys joined us, of course. Where would we be without them. It turned out to become more their weekend actually – shopping weekend so to speak. We strolled behind or in front of them, went in & out of hundreds of shops, spent time outside the changing rooms, discussed all sorts of subjects and so on. Beautiful weather, great city, nice people, comfortable & luxuriously hotel & numerous, numerous cafes.

Daily inspiration, city life

There are some who loves forest walks & it is by all means very nice, occasionally. Then there are those who love the sea & it’s also not too bad. But I love the city life. The noise, the cars, petrol fumes, concrete, congestion, stress, not to mention all the little holes in the walls with variations of coffee shops & restaurants. Yes guys, I am a devoted city dweller 🙂

Daily inspiration, coffee shop furniture

This picture that I found online, I believe is from a new place in Melbourne. What I like with it, is actually the whole environment. It’s mainly the light but also the brick walls that are painted in white. The table with black base & wooden board. Those classic chairs that has been painted in pale pastels & the untreated floor. I also like the built-in wood shelves with the few things that has been stored inside. They are more apparent with the white wall behind, in the background. The pendants, they become like the icing on the cake.

Coffee culture

Coffee with something small, a snack, has for most of us, regardless of age, become a well trendy socializing-form, an almost sacred ritual. There’s a coffee shop in every corner nowadays. Still, it wasn’t until late 1600s that coffee had its breakthrough. It was regarded as something expensive & exclusive, where only the “elite” could afford the luxury. We have a swedish expression that’s used daily … to grab a fika, which is a coffee with something small & sweet to. It’s hard to believe that it’s the Swedes today who, together with the Finns, are the ones who’s drinking most coffee in the world. There’s a strong coffee culture in Australia too, surely one the best places where the coffee tastes wonderful no matter where you are.

Wikipedea: Coffee is a brewed beverage with a distinct aroma and flavor, prepared from the roasted seeds of the Coffeaplant. The seeds are found in coffee “cherries”, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, India and Africa. Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Coffee is slightly acidic (pH 5.0–5.1) and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine content. It is one of the most consumed drinks in the world.
