I'm here once again Sitting between two moods Unsure which to feed. So I choose something neutral Like Lemon and Ginger tea (Actually, Lemongrass - a new blend for me). Okay, a slice of lemon cake too But without the drizzle. Citrus helps in any mood. I sit halfway between work and home Though the distinction is blurred And I wait for my 60+ Oyster to kick in For a journey I can better afford. I find myself here less often So I guess that's a good sign. Though, some days, it's out of necessity Rather than a choice that’s mine. I guess I want more control. Right now, I choose to sit and let citrus and ginger feed my soul. Epilogue: The cake was heavy. The tea was what I needed.

Sitting under a Mackintosh script.

The cafe (Crêpes, Coffee & Chai, Tottenham Court Road, London) uses a Charles Rennie Mackintosh esc script in its signage. That's what we chose for our wedding stationary a lifetime ago.
