    My wife and I have ‘breakfast day’ when we go into town, buy our vegetables and eggs from the greengrocers, our bread from the bakers and our meat from the butchers. Then we have breakfast at the local café. Much time is spent in the days beforehand deciding upon the choice of breakfast foods: what about bacon and poached eggs, or a full English (no beans, extra toast), or perhaps a breakfast bap (sausage or bacon). Will we have a latte or a flat white? Perhaps an americano? Orange or apple juice as well?

    If for some reason the café is full and we can’t get in, the whole week is ruined. We’ve waited outside for 30 minutes to see if a table will become free. No other café will do. Yes, we could reserve a table but that takes all the fun out of it.

      I love this but I have to ask: how do you have the energy/fortitude to do all these things before having breakfast?

        Haha! When I worked, I rarely had breakfast or lunch. These days, I skip lunch apart from on Fridays when I don’t have my usual toast and marmalade and pig out at the café instead. It’s really just a very late breakfast!
