I love coffee and I’m not alone. I even photograph especially good coffees. I’m so interested in coffee that some time ago I did a weekend barista course at TAFE and had a really good time. My usual routine is to have a coffee out in a cafe almost every morning. Coffee is one thing where I know I could obviously save money. Over a year it’s a big expenditure. At lease I’m aware of the excuses I make to justify buying a coffee almost every day and from time to time I do examine the validity of my justifications. I still get the same answer – I call it my mental health insurance. Why? Because coffee gets me out of the house, meeting up with friends and mixing with others. I feel part of the world. Also at the cafe I scan the newspaper to keep up to date with what’s going on. I drink only one coffee a day so this is my special pleasure.
