Saturday night Fever!

 



Darby and his coffee art - he is not as fussy as his mum about his coffee!

  Now this is part two of my Saturday blog! I cant believe I was silly enough to drink 3 coffees in a day! I didn't really think there would be any consequences! How naive of me!? Coffee is a very powerful drug, and for someone who only drinks one a day, I was drinking well over my recommended amount! I must have this mantra plastered to my forehead: remember Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate... coffee really is a diuretic, it dehydrates very quickly and I'm learning that lesson daily!



My coffee being made at Nabiha





After my busy morning in the city, I was hungry for some lunch so I decided to gatecrash Laura's catch up with her friend in Moonee Ponds! (Well mainly it was so I could go and have a look at Kmart too, without a car its almost impossible!) I had heard fantastic things about a cafe in Hall St called Nabiha which was on my MCR list. We checked it out but it  was too busy when we went in, so we opted for Ednas across the road. Lunch was just what I needed, Darby and I both had Poached Eggs on toast. He loves loves loves  eggs... but today he was more interested in eating all of Laura's fruit Salad!


After lunch I just had to try a coffee at  Nabiha, I am always excited to be trying another place on the West side.  It is a long and small cafe inside a concrete building (that doesn't sound too nice I know??) but surprisingly it has a very warm and inviting kind of feel. The two girls running the cafe were really friendly. Nabiha  use Five Senses coffee on a Synesso coffee machine which is a really beautiful... The take away coffee was outstanding, I would have drunk the whole thing  and ordered another if I didn't already have the severe shakes from a coffee overload! Ill definitely be coming back here though , I loved it!

How gorgeous are these vintage water jugs.. I want some!





My surprise gorgeous flowers from Shaz



 When I arrived home from our shopping/lunch/coffee fix there was a gorgeous surprise waiting for me at my doorstep! Some flowers from Shaz . Such a beautiful gesture, such a beautiful friend, I feel like such a sucky one most of the time! Made me realise how much I miss her!  

Darby's wonderful pic of "Coffee Drunk" Mum

 Now I can see why coffee is a drug, Three cups on Saturday and I felt drunk, seriously delirious!! I had soo much energy, I lost my appetite, had the shakes and palpatations. Darby thought it was hilarious that I was jumping around the house like a lunatic! We also thought it would be a great idea to play dress ups and have a dance... Darby favouring a floral dress and fascinator and well I was the photographer and DJ mixing the tunes! I think he likes coffee drunk mum  cos I had so much energy to match him finally and not the usual exhausted mum at the end of the day.  Although he crashed on the couch from all our frivolity but I couldn't sleep, awake until 12 just tossing and turning ..... arrgghhh. Lesson Learnt today - One coffee daily maximum for me!

Until next time , enjoy your coffee xx
