A random act of kindness

I was the happy recipient of a random act of kindness today. While waiting in a lengthy queue to order a coffee, I suggested to the young man behind me that he went ahead as I was rummaging in my purse for the correct change so that for once, I would be ready to pay when I reached the till.  On placing his order, he turned and handed me a loyalty card that entitled me to a free coffee. I was truly delighted at his thoughtful gesture and on thanking him, vowed to pass his kindness forward. So I did! 

Keep my coffee free from other flavours....

Although I’m not a great coffee drinker, I’ve decided that I really don’t like the current vogue for flavoured coffee,.  We received a tin of “Christmas” coffee beans as a present and we had a vanilla flavoured brew at Grandma’s house on Saturday. We also have a tub of amaretto grounds in the office fridge.  And, having tried them all, I can categorically say that I’d rather have a plain and simple, unadulterated, coffee brew. The wide variety of different coffee beans and the roasting processes that are currently available offer more than enough variety without adding artificial flavours unnecessarily.
