Steam by maggiemae

Steam

This was a coffee shop where we had good coffee , a huge date scone the size of a frying pan and a delicious cheese roll! This was not lunch.

Still got computer issues - type one letter and 4 secs later, the letter appears! Now all day trying various programmes! Done “Cleanmymac” and Tech Tool Pro. Think I’m going to load, “Cleanmyhouse” and see what happens!


1. Program says: 1billion 953 million 963 thousand blocks on the device! Now doing a surface scan! Doing a surface scan on my kitchen bench would reveal a few unwashed dishes!
2. “I was like’ - how many people talk like this? Good thing - I don’t!
3. Bought a luxurious rug to go on a high traffic part in our lounge/dining/kitchen. I feel like lying on it and going to sleep!
Lovely shot and scene, can just imagine sitting in here and watching the world go by. Hope you get the computer issues sorted. Fav! btw.

Hope your computer problems will be solved soon. Luxurious rug? Please, tell me all about it ;-) . We are looking for a new rug in our living room....

Crikey - not like a Mac to get blockages - to be fair mine once said I had that many photos....
July 29th, 2015  
@judithg I also hadn't emptied my photo trash for some while!
July 29th, 2015  
@gijsje Its thick and soft and the colour of a ripe cherry, Bep! Got a swirl pattern in it too! I'll take a photo of it with the cat sitting on in - she likes it too!
July 29th, 2015  
So sorry to hear about your computer problems... very frustrating! This is a lovely scene, though. Makes me want to stop and sit awhile.

Sounds great!

Great view out of the window - i love watching the world go by!! Sorry about the computer problems - it's so frustrating isn't it? Hope you get it sorted quickly.

A scone and a cheese roll - doesn't get any better than that! Two of my favorites. Too bad about your computer troubles. They're great when they work well - so frustrating when they don't. Good luck.

Wonderful through the window shot! Food sounds fabulous too!

#2 Way too many do in my opinion! So glad you are not one of them!

i like the tones and colours maggie and a nice view through the window too

Thanks for the laugh as usual! We have no nice luxurious rug on our floor in front of the Aga where it usually goes....the cat peed on it a few months ago & we haven't dare get another in case she got the habit. We had to throw it in the bin....not good when it was quite new.
Interesting place to sit....I am thinking I might sit in these places next year!
I will be up for a date scone!
July 29th, 2015  
@happypat Date scones are usual here, Pat - they have become very popular - John is in heaven! Our cat had better not pee on this one - she would take a flying lesson!

Would have loved the Coffee and the Cheese cob Maggie, lovely shot
July 29th, 2015  
Like this :-)
July 29th, 2015  
such an entertaining post & a lovely shot. Hope your troubles resolve SOON
July 30th, 2015  
Great shot...do not envy your computer problems
July 30th, 2015  
Looks a great place. Hope you manage to solve your IT problems. Touch wood - my new one works fine.
July 30th, 2015  
enjoy the rug now! sit on it, sleep on it, have picnics on it! I like this shot.
July 30th, 2015  
I must say Maggiemae, you are demonstrating a lot more patience than I would every demonstrate. I can only take so much of computer problems before I go out and buy another one.
July 30th, 2015  
@digitalrn But then I'd have to put my 1.9 million files on to that new one, Rick!
July 30th, 2015  
so did you upload 'cleanmyhouse'? if it was effective, let me know. i am like sick and tired of cleaning, like i've just been doing that my whole life! there, did i manage to give you a headache? i'm expose to that kind of "like" talk all day with the young people in the office, like! :-) i like the view from your coffee shop!
July 30th, 2015  
@summerfield Young people are like sheep - follow anyone around. The app 'cleanmyhouse' I learnt was not available to those under 90 years! Have to wait a while!
July 30th, 2015  
I hope you get you problem figured out. That is a bunch of blocks to scan!
I felt the same way when I installed carpeting in our pantry. :-)
By the way, I do like the sharpness of this image. Those chair are none like I have seen at any outdoor cafe!
July 30th, 2015  
@skipt07 Yes, John's been deleting everything in sight just about! My computer housekeeping has much to be desired.
July 30th, 2015  
No sure which I enjoyed more, your photo or your paragraph. One made me smile at the thought of the scone and cheese roll, and the other made me chuckle.
July 30th, 2015  
Great name for a coffee shop!
July 30th, 2015  
Good to get out and relax with a coffee. Computers can be the very devil. Cx
July 30th, 2015  
@dibzgreasley I think this shop got it right - a good name and well designed for the window! Sometimes it so steamy inside that the window is all steamed up! The coffee is hot which is how I like it!
July 30th, 2015  
@claireuk You aren't supposed to relax with caffeine, Claire but I think the whole experience is relaxing! A well designed cafe and all sorts of interesting people coming in etc.
July 30th, 2015  
Nice 'through the window' picture. Lovely place to sit over a coffee and watch the world go by.
July 30th, 2015  
@shirleybankfarm ...and if you don't want to be seen, Shirley - you can put the free newspaper that they supply up in front of your face!
July 30th, 2015  
Almost like meat, if plural is allowed.
July 30th, 2015  
I like the view and it looks like a comfortable seating arrangement outside. do they have the same chairs inside. the name of the establishment draws me in as I like my coffee steaming hot. you can use this picture for the weekly theme. theme-fromawindow.
July 30th, 2015  
My mouth is watering at your description of your coffee experience, Lovely capture and I think I will put the kettle on and raid the fridge.
July 30th, 2015  
That sounds likea wonderful coffee stop and sitting watching the world goby while eating is even better. Lovely shot .while the computer is cleaning up lie on the new rug and dream its fixed
July 30th, 2015  
Compute sounds a nightmare, scone to die for! Like the look of that building from the window.
July 30th, 2015  
@yaorenliu Oh, I see what you mean - now! Hardly draw the coffee drinkers in though!
July 30th, 2015  
A great place to sit and watch the world go by whilst you eat what sounds like a substantial lunch substitute!
Hope you manage to sort your computer problems, they are wonderful things until they start misbehaving.
July 30th, 2015  
@dulciknit It turned out to be lunch too, Alison! Why not indulge while you sit in a warm cafe and read the paper!
July 30th, 2015  
@maggiemae Why not indeed, it sounds delicious!
July 30th, 2015  
I love the pov and the light in this. Teenagers often use "like" far too much when they are talking. One hopes they'll, like, grow out of it!
July 31st, 2015  
Sorry about the computer woes. I have car woes- the timing belt snapped and who knows when or if we will fix it! Maybe I should just get Ruby's American cousin and ride her around.
July 31st, 2015  
Great shot. Looks like a very nice place to stop for some refreshments.
August 1st, 2015  
Hope you've managed to get your computer problems sorted by now!
I like the pov here, especially the signage, as well as the great processing on the buildings.
