Today I had a nostalgic lunch with a friend on our lunch
break. We went to a Thai restaurant near where our old work used to be in North Sydney.
It was kind of sad being there. I used to think the North Sydney office – at the top of a hill and a 10 minute walk from the shops – was in a bad location. But by contrast, the new office is in the middle of a semi-industrial area, we’re in open plan, have no access to windows and barely any natural light.
I think what makes it worse is that we didn’t have a choice: our old company was being wound up and all the operations transferred to a larger one. We were lucky to be offered jobs.
But all that aside, I also took the opportunity today to get a snap of this cafe menu. I hadn't been there in months, so I'm glad they still had it up. It's a creative description of coffees that I just had to share: the Chocolate and Chocolate Hazelnut ones in particular.
I thought it was great that someone took a hum-drum task like writing a cafe menu and gave it a little creative flair. Good on you, anonymous menu writer.

Who knew chocolate had a soul?
