This didn’t matter, however, because as I was walking through the village with one friend the other that we were meeting informed us via text that she had found us a table at one of the local cafes Dot Com. Sounded perfect to me, I knew it was nice and that they always made good coffee! As we arrived we found her sitting at a table outside in the sunshine, an obvious choice of seating on a beautiful day like today!
It was so nice to see the girls again; it had been awhile as we all lived in different cities for study. It was rare that we were all home at the same time as our holidays always fell on different weeks. Anyway, we saved the table by leaving some gear on it and headed inside to order. This didn’t take long as we had all pretty much decided what we wanted before we got there! We paid and headed back to our table in the sun where without delay the sunglasses came out and the chatter and catch-ups began!
The sun was so beautiful and it actually felt like summer for once. This of course as it always did lead to discussions about our summer holiday plans. I think it was safe to say we were all counting down the weeks until we could go. When our drinks were delivered, two coffees and a smoothie, the chatter died down as we sipped away. This didn’t last long, however, and we soon got back to reminiscing over last years holiday and making plans for this years one!
The coffee today was rich and creamy, just how I like it. There was something about café coffee, it always tasted so much better then the ones I tried to make with the coffee machine at home! This was always one of my justifications in telling my self that it was ok to go out and buy so many coffees each week!
As we continued to drink I found myself thinking how nice it was that this coffee date had bought us girls together again after what had felt like so long. I thought back to the last time we had all been together in Wellington, there too we went out for coffee and sat in the sun chatting for hours. This time, however, we didn’t have a whole afternoon to waste away as we all had things to do and places to go soon afterwards. We drank slowly as a result, prolonging the time we had to spend in the sun together.
Eventually though, our time had run out and we really did have to go. Full and satisfied we left the café and said our goodbyes, already looking forward to the next time we would see each other. Looking back it was clear that we did indeed make the most of the time we had together, made the most of the sunshine, and of course made the most of enjoying the coffee!
