You are in a dark cave: You find a grue.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue. Who knew?

I wish Shakespeare
Or Chaucer, for that matter. Talk about provincial hick. Not even English.

For those who are wondering how he did that.
I can sleep easy again. But, seriously, would be fun to sneak into a kids room at night and make a spooky ‘bwahahaha’ noise with grinning bright iridescent green teeth.
What?

corner of Richmond Rd and K Rd?
That truly is a staggering corner. Displaced by about a kilometre, by most accounts. Ponsonby Rd, I think.
Was a pleasant place to spend an evening drinking hot chocolates.

Lamingtons?
Speaking of which, The Fridge in Kingsland, opposite Neighbourhood Bar, makes the most dangerously good lamington, and a decent coffee to boot.

I think Robert Harris deserves a creditable mention in all this. According to their website;
Having developed a taste for freshly ground Italian coffee during service in World War Two, Robert Harris was determined to awaken tastebuds in New Zealand. He developed his knowledge of blends and roasting, and in 1972 he launched his own brand.
The next chapter in the story came about when Murray and Val Connelly took over the business after the death of Robert Harris in 1979. They introduced the Robert Harris brand into supermarkets where, to this day, it remains the number one brand of fresh coffee.
As the brand’s popularity grew, Murray and Val opened cafés in Parnell, Takapuna, Remuera and Wellington.
A mainstream approach, but pioneering nonetheless. Of course, like Atomic, Cerebos Greggs now owns them.

Oh, you coffee snobs.
True dat'. Actually, speaking of coffee geeks (my preference to 'snobs' ;-), haven't heard from Sofie. Given our shared passion for Atomic coffee machines, thought she would be on here. Hope all is well.
Please try something more bold and clear or risk discouraging myopic and aged readers like me. Cheers, Carry on raucously. K
