Macchiato


I´ve neglected this my english thinking, as it looks, but the truth is I actually read a lot, Ian McEwan is an author I´ve recently discovered ... and I´m a lot on twitter, and that´s not an easy task language wise I can tell you that. People use all kinds of abbrevations and everyday words that I´ve never heard of. It´s an interesting source though, to find out about things and people, learn how they react on newsflashs and so on, and there´s a certain charm in being one of the first persons to know ...

Well today I learned something new in real life ... a had a new kind of coffee-drink, the Espresso Macchiato. I´m so glad I don´t have to say it out loud here because I´ve no idea how, I think though I´ve got the right spelling. It was good by the way, I really enjoyed it, strong, bitter and a little foamed milk on the top. The cup I had wasn´t as good looking as the one on the pic, but it was certainly the proper thing to consume at the moment, in the shade by a big linden tree just next to the students home by the university ... and it was Friday at lunchtime, in the opening of the last weekend in the month of May.

spring outburst

The day before May Day wasn´t a very nice day, cold, windy and an unconcentrated crowd in the park. We ate candy to drive out time, child on the swing taking photo and me in an outburst. Then they lit the bonfire ... and things became groovy. :-)
