22/365: Sub-par coffee and mediocre pastries

The disappointment of an underwhelming croissant is universal. And paying nearly £4 for the displeasure felt like a punch to the gut. The coffee... well it was mediocre too. 

I guess I expected more when I drove 20 minutes to the next town over for my post-run coffee and pastry. Then again, maybe I am spoilt from being a regular at the best coffee spot in Kent, which I have previously written about. 

Despite this, I was happy in general to be not working. My TOIL request being approved yesterday meant today would never have happened if I had not taken the chance and put a request in in the first place. So we take the good with the bad, and a good day is always one in which I'm not working (but being paid for). 

Back to work tomorrow, where I'll dream of a mediocre coffee and a sub-par pastry.
