Visions In My Coffee

Greetings one and all. I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday where ever you are. As for me, I've just managed to complete my household chores for the day, with the exception of laundry ( that can wait LOL), and I'm going to spend some of the afternoon chillaxing in the little bit of sunshine we have left this year. At that point I'll be downing a nice cup of content coffee as I sit in the garden. "Content" coffee, because I often take photos or videos of my brews now so I can post them somewhere :)

Talking of which, it happened again!

Almost every morning coffee that I have these days presents me with this pattern, or something very similar, that resembles an open field or grassland of sorts. There are often animals grazing openly, often with a backdrop of either trees, highlands or mountains. Something you'd see out in East Africa; Kenya, Tanzania, e.t.c, looking very much like the Serengeti.

Strange coincidence: the coffee beans are from Kenya 😯

That is probably my favourite part of the world, and I wonder if I'm subconsciously looking for anything that looks like it, but I keep seeing it nearly every morning. I guess someone who's looking to see Scotland or Northern England may see cows and hills, but nah, this is clearly East Africa to me :)

I know there are people that read coffee cups, especially in Arabia, North Africa and the Mediterranean, but isn't that usually the bit at the bottom. I have a friend from Cyprus who claims to be able to tell fortune after you down a cup of coffee, but I think it has to be Turkish Coffee or something similar. Espressos hold no fortunes, sadly. I guess all the woowoo gets filtered out by the espresso maker or filter sheets in the case of filter coffee.

Anyway, I shall continue to dream about that trip to the Serengeti, Masai Mara or anywhere near there. I've been there before as a child, and I have good memories, but I'd like to spend a bit of time there, kicking it with the locals. It will happen some day.

Peace & Love,

Adé
