after the thrill is gone....

umm...lets see... if i ever do quit journalism, what will i do....i have this urge to open up my own coffee shop...i know i know...it kinda passe but its not going to be just any old coffee shop....
i have it all pictured out in my head. its going to be on a quiet side street. made entirely of brick. no steel and glass for me. with a huge garden around it. and wooden benches so you can sit there for as long as you want. one side is going to have a nice bookshop. this is the only area where i will have sofas. so you can browse as well. in one corner there will be an area where people can have performances. like i could invite a band in on wednesdays to play a couple of songs. a very small band that play soothing music. nothing great. no hoo ha.. or on fridays an up and coming theatre group to have an impromptu performance....
the best part is yet to come though....i plan to have a bakery...yup... i plan to serve fresh baked croissants, breads and yummy brownies....the smell of which will drive you crazy....and im working on my baking skills now.....
