Too much of a good thing cont.
Friday and the search for a decent coffee continued. I ventured into the Qld Flour Mill in the heritage end of town. I love this part of Ipswich. I love the stained glass windows above the door of the Qld Flour Mill. I really, really wish I loved thier coffee.

Too much of a good thing
My favourite barista has shut up shop and left town. It's like he doesn't care about me at all.
The question is, can the city of Ipswich offer me a decent cup of coffee.
So far:
Monday - De Lamantra - 38 beans to choose from. Mine is so bad I tip it down the sink. Tastes like dirt.
Tuesday - on my way to a meeting so I stop at MacDonalds. Coffee is like thier food. Bland.
Wednesday - De Lamantra is the closest so I give them a second chance and try another of the 38 beans. I am thinking 38 beans is 37 too many when you only have 38 customers a day. Dirt taste I am putting down to stale beans. Not worth $4.00
Thursday - Mammoth effort on the phone to Telstra for and hour and twenty minutes. It all ends in tears. Do I need a coffee! The Cactus Expresso Bar is next on my hit list. A cup the size of thimble. Not worth the walk up the hill.
The last day of the week, Friday approaches and I am still hopeful.

Gold
I went for a walk today
and saw
a beetle as colourful as a bird,
a trail of bright bird feathers
like a rainbow - but
no pot of gold,
except
an old Baptist church
empty
waiting
to become the newest Mcdonalds in town.
