Ahhh the bliss of it all!!!! Hubby has left for an early golf game, so he'll be happy...........I've had a sleep in until 7.00, so I'm feeling well rested.............Hayds has met me downstairs and is now happily writing up his memoirs on the computer.............and young Master Thomas has just woken up with a dry bum and a big cheeky grin - what a great start!!!!!!
We have a coffee machine that Mark's dad gave us (he won it at a golf day and very graciously gave it to us, we love it!) Now I'm not a coffee drinker at all (I had to drink two cups out of politeness for an old Aunty when I was about 10 and I still get shivers!) but I love to try and make the perfect cuppa for my darlin' - We have sourced some wonderful beans from a friend, (http://www.roastandpost.com.au/) I grind them freshly just before brewing the cup, and then I froth the milk to perfection. Once it's all poured into the mug, we sprinkle on some hot chocolate and dig in for a lovely, creamy start to the day - mmm mmm!!!!
Now I wanted to get in on the fun of the frothy milk, but was sick of hot chocolates. Luckily hubby suggested chai latte's - OH MAN THEY ARE GOOD!!! They are like tea, but with cinnamon and spices, they smell just as good as they taste!!! So now whenever I make a cuppa for Mark, I make a chai for myself - and of course, the boys love having their 'babychino's' too!!!! I'm not a girl who gets too excited about fancy schmancy stuff like espresso machines, but now that I can enjoy a delightful cafe style taste without leaving home, I'm a big fan!!!!
I think I'm sounding too much like an ad for Breville, so I'd best get started on this day. Where else in the world do you wear a jumper - and sunscreen - in Winter!?!!! I'm not a cold weather fan, but I sure am loving these Queensland Winters!!!!!
