Thanks Siodhna. Starts as a real thing, person, scene and then my mind takes over.

Well this is a fun diversion, David! Though I think I remember that you have more of these cafe observations in this longer form. I used to write longer pieces also - perhaps I'll go back to some of those old notebooks and see what I might dig up!

Yea i do find people watching to be an interesting source of inspiration or at least that my mind goes off on a fun tangent. Thanks for reading!

Love this longer form of yours. You could have a whole collection of these called 'sups of tea' :)

Thanks Treasa! Definitely feel an urge to stretch out a bit on some pieces but time is a great equaliser. If I get the opportunity I might explore that potential a bit more.

Thanks Fotini, trying a few longer form bits. Testing the water. I definitely don't get out enough 😅
