Thanks @Jade Fire! Now is a chance that I will stay alive!

[Alexshy 14,709]

It's finally weekend... Oh, Celestia, I thought 't shalt nev'r arrive That, of course, meaneth more driving for me, but mayhap with accompaniment of some rest, some writing (at last!) and even a nice walk in the woods hopefully. *inhales the celestial aroma of freshly brewed coffee brought by the maid* Hmmm... Waking up is not that bad, even on weekdays oft, let alone days off.

Mine wakenings:

Monday-Friday:

Saturday-Sunday (and on free days):

Big difference? Isn't it?

I really need to drink the next cup of coffee and go shopping soon.

Here you go my friend - I was just going to go with the Guatemalan but I think the Columbian is more appropriate

I would look less than cute in a maid outfit, but you are welcome to a coffee my princess

Thou shouldst speak most earnestly with thy supplier then - for they can infuse raw coffee with the liquid essence of vanilla pods, afore the roasting begins, giving a (preferably light) roast with that essence locked within its very heart....

I would offer you some, but sadly my usual source stopped doing the infused coffees a few years back, citing lack of demand. It is a sad thing; in addition to the vanilla, they offered a chocolate, an irish whiskey, and a raspberry....

However it is worth noting that coffee shops stock a range of flavoured syrups for use in latté drinks - so often a vanilla, a hazelnut, and so forth. My local chain (Costa) will happily sell you a full bottle of same (and some supermarkets stock smaller bottles - the chain stocks only the 1L bottles at £15 each, and 1L of syrup is a LOT)

Last summer they were also doing an iced mocha cortado (one part espresso shot to two parts milk mixed with chocolate syrup, shaken over ice) and I convinced them to blend the result with fresh mint leaves.... I am unable to express how awesome that is.

My weekend is packing up for the move. 

I am moving 200 miles south of where I am now. 

I hate moving. Such a disruption.

Truly so. They say, two moves are equal to one fire.

I extend mine hope, it is worth the haste and mess nevertheless.

Sorry to hear it. Now if you were moving North, that would be more justified

i agree ^-^ thank you for setting it up for us!

i hope you have a good nights sleep.

Morning all friends here !

Thank the founders, It was just an idea of how to get us together.  

Yes this night was relly good, long slow morning, no alarm clock, and now a late relaxed slow motion breakfast.

And not to forget the coffee, today in a large cup with zebra motif. Black and strong, home brewed. The way I like it best.

The brand of the coffee is also important, It´s a Swedish brand so it´s nothing you heard of elsewhere. But on the package I can read :

" Arvid Nordquist Classic Festiva, Extra dark intensive and powerful, 100% Arabica beans"

A nice way to start the day, now on to cup two. And then I´m happy and awake, ready for some horse work. Today moving an IR heating element in the stable.  And later some food shoping in out little mini town. It´s not a town it´s a ...... no my English is to bad it´s smaller than a town but larger than a village so.... ya know.

There is an actual alternative? (I know some people like to stir a brown crayon in water in the belief their "instant" is somehow real coffee, but they are sadly mistaken )

A dark (expresso) roast which isn't a bad thing, and gives a toasted nut/chocolate finish - but a blend, where I prefer SOE.

That must be a big decision, I hope everything goes well.

Hopfully if I stay healthy to care for a horse farm, I do that for the rest of my life.

*in Applejack voice* "I ain´t moving no where If I ain´t must for some unknown reason"

I know you have a reason, so just want to wish you luck with all hard work.

Happy to be a part of this club! (I believe I was invited by my dearest friend @Alexshy

I am glad to hear that your guys' work days have been going good!

I am currently unemployed, so I can't begin to discuss my work right now, but just because I am not currently a working pony doesn't mean that i can't indulge in the best drink on the planet! I did spill my morning cup of joe all over my car and may favorite pants today though... shame...

Yes, yes, thou was forsooth

Well, studying counteth likewise, besides, I strongly believe that cleaning the car and pants off coffee is naturally some work. So, thou art arrant safe henceforth *dainty alicorn smile*

 

@Maudileena: Thy horses shall be truly lucky in that case as thou art apparently invest quite a portion of thy soul within thy noble work thither.

I have this one coffee in my house. From Columbia. 98 % arabica. I didn't drink it yet. I have not idea if it is good/useful for sleepy pony. I guess that it is dedicated mostly for those who like unusual flavors.:

Columbian coffees tend to be quite strong; good in the morning, but probably not an ideal evening coffee. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is a good choice though, or the Guatemalan - as an afternoon or evening coffee, rather than a morning wakeup call

The label though - is that hinting as to flavour notes, or have they actually added orange and chocolate to it?
