Hi, I am pleased to
say I excelled at relaxing this weekend. I tore into doing absolutely nothing
with great gusto. I cant believe how tiring doing nothing is so I had to sleep
for long periods to recover. Stacking up ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz should always be the
ultimate pursuit on the weekend closely followed by couch and sport channel
surfing.
As I was busy doing nothing during a typical Auckland weekend
that featured all four seasons I was able to share a special weather moment
with Fletcher when a massive rainbow formed in the sky(see attached). You sort
of forget how amazing that sight or how cool it is to explain it to a wide eyed
one year old who is trying to figure out exactly what is going on.
Life is full of stuff like rainbows, sunrises and sunsets
that we walk, drive or run past daily without stopping or even slowing to
appreciate for their beauty or significance to us.
The rainbow on the weekend made me stop and think a bit and
this was a good thing because the next evening I spent time watching and
explaining the amazing sunset to Fletcher as well.
So while I was on an educational roll I thought I would also
introduce him to watching the All Blacks live on TV however the 10.00pm kick
off proved a bridge too far for the weary student and this chapter of his
education will have to wait for a local game with an earlier kick off.
Great win in Sydney for the AB’s and a cool welcome back for
Richie(Clark Kent) McCaw.
I hope you were also able to have a relaxing weekend doing
nothing but chillaxing with Family and friends. I hope this also means you will
be able to hit the coming week with everything you have.
Cheers Jonesey!!

The continuing coffee customer service saga;
After complaining to the
new cafe owners over three weeks ago and having not received a reply or any
acknowledgement I decided to vote with my feet yet again.
I know what you are
thinking I am rapidly running out of cafes in Onehunga to adopt ! and you would
be right as this is now #4!
I am pleased however to
announce that the ‘Cosy Café’ on main street Onehunga is my new favourite place.
Not only do they have my favourite brand of coffee but the staff have learned
my name already and welcomed me with open arms whilst also setting me up with a
loyalty card from day one without me even having to askJ
This café is small and
cosy with a quaint ambience that none of the previous cafes have had. I feel
like I have found a place where I am at home and somewhere I will be
appreciated where I can relax and read the paper whilst enjoying my favourite
brew. I always loved the programme ‘ Cheers’ because of the family atmosphere
and fun a regular group of patrons engendered at their corner bar in Boston. I
know it was a sitcom but it was so well done that I always felt like a Cheers
regular when I tuned in each night! Well my new café is my new ‘Cheers’ on main
street Onehunga…”where everyone knows your name!!”
All I am looking for
(like every customer who buys anything) is to feel wanted and appreciated……not
rocket science really is it…..hmmm time will tell at the Cosiest café in
Onehunga, watch this space!
