Not another bloody cafe

This above sign  has appeared in a vacant corner space on the ground floor of the recently completed Mapleleaf Apartments.  These apartments are yet another addition to the long line of apartment blocks being levered skywards along the main arterial  roads around Marvellous Melbourne.

It’s not as if there is an actual shortage of cafes in this area; a quick count shows there will be ten places to buy coffee when this one opens, all within a five minute walk.

I’m amazed at how these cafes manage to stay in business; not all of them operate at weekends,only two open for business on Sundays.

 This café will be popular with residents of the Mapleleaf Apartments; how convenient to simply take the lift to the ground floor, walk a few steps along the street, buy your coffee and reverse the process.

No need to buy an expensive coffee machine when all the coffee convenience is an easy few minutes away from home.

Back to Eastern Standard Time.

Daylight Saving has stretched this year, all the way into April.

I'm not one of those people who loath daylight saving and whine about it endlessly - I have many, many other things in my life which I whinge and whine about, but DST is not one of them....

However, having said that I will say the last two weeks, where it is still dark at 7 am is not exactly my favourite time of the year. This morning it was great to wake up and see daylight.  Of course what is gained in the morning is lost at the end of the day and this month will see the end of my late evening sessions on the internet at the local library.

I heard one of my neighbours heading off to work this morning;  they are very good about not making a noise, the inner door clicks closed and then the screen door is carefully closed.  I looked at my clock, it read 5 am and I decided they had overlooked, or forgotten,  to reset their clocks. 

The neighbors  work at a local aged care facility and I have an idea the residents might have been treated to an unexpected very, very early breakfast this morning.
