Lovely read, but you've left me yearning for closure - hope you bump into buzzcut and the barista again, even if only for my entertainment

Do I need to send you a Nespresso machine from the sunny island of St Croix? No bad days here.

Mate, don’t ever get me started, we haven’t stopped talking about the islands since the winter hit here. Take me back!

I want to say, get a coffee machine but stories like these are too good! 🥰

Exactly, that would be too easy, Marianne! I need the punishment else I wouldn't have anything to write about.

You recommended reading Tom Robbins a while back didn't you? I finished Jitterbug Perfume back in November... What a read. Fantastic stuff. Thanks for the recommendation!

Loved this latest Thought Dumpling. Look forward to a TD view of the Philadelphia Cheesesteak. The worst, most overhyped excuse for a meal I have ever experienced. And we stood in line to get them !!

Phil, I do have a cheesesteak story, actually. And ends as you'd expect: with me crumpled and groaning on the couch. At least it's my dream couch, though.
