Train Excursion and the dreaded summer cold!

Friday is here and I'm stretching my very foggy brain (damn head cold - I hate you ) trying to remember my coffee adventures from  earlier in the week!!

Weeks seem to be moulding into one and February has almost gone before I knew it was here! Monday came around again and Darby and I broke with our tradition and did something a little different today! Entering week 3 without a car has made me become more inventive with the adventures we take. (Also I try and make them as easy on me and kid friendly as possible!) 



Yummy Smartie Cookie

We decided today on  a train trip to Newport  which would be a fun way to spend the afternoon! Newport is only 3 train stops away so its a quick trip and a perfect length for Darbs, ... less stress than driving really ....



Today we are trying Nosh @ Newport.. I have heard many great things about this place but have never managed to get myself there!

Nosh is situated opposite the Newport train station and is very easy to locate. It is open everyday and for dinner some nights too! Its a very funky  and  low key kind of place. It is also very kid friendly (big tick for that) with toys in the corner, lots of  kiddie food, including gingerbread bears, the always divine Honey Joys and the pièce de résistance "the Smartie cookie!  Kiddie drinks are also served in plastic cups! Darby was very impressed by his babycino  served in a bright green cup, but even more impressed by his smartie cookie.. (I scored myself a few little bites as well.)

Coffee Supreme! A long time fave!

My coffee is yum, they use Coffee Supreme, one of my favorite brands (of a list that is growing fast)!so its hard to go wrong! Ill be back here no doubt. Always nice to have another place so close to go to in the west.. 

Nosh Coffee

Now as the rest of my working  week unfolded and I began to feel the physical effects of a summer cold coming on, runny nose,  sore throat and achy body just to name a few symptoms  (I'm sure my body could be forgiven to thinking it is June), Luckily I still felt the need to drink coffee. Any time I'm even slightly under the weather my body goes into caffeine shutdown and I cant drink it for weeks.. but even though my taste buds are out of whack and I'm severely dehydrated, my body is still calling out for its daily cup of coffee,(YAY)!

Elevenses cool coffee machine on Snooker table 

 I visited Elevenses http://www.elevenses.net.au/ a few times  this week for their super coffee, I love that place! The quirkiness, the location (so close to work) and the divine coffee! Yummy Toby's estate is always spot on here, strong, rich and smooth (this is where I could insert some lame joke about liking my men that way, but Ill refrain!) 



my coffee mmmmmm

 I took the guys from work here on Friday for coffee and brunch as Janine and I are always talking about it and my colleague Stephen wanted to get a picture and mention in my Blog!!! He even shouted me coffee as a sweetener!
The place was heaving with people in a mid morning caffeine rush which is great for them! 

Oh and on rather an embarrassing note, the guys at Elevenses had read my blog (or a part where I have mentioned them!) I suppose this is good.... but I forget that anybody can see/ find  my  portal of dagginess!!! Oops! Oh well, its all in the name of coffee!!

Until next time (sniff sniff)

Enjoy your coffee xx

 PS -  I need to find a new word/s for Yummy- I use it way too much... any ideas please??!???????!
