One coffee and three cakes

Chose a late start to the day today, knowing that I could finish early and have a run this evening. So I missed an overcast and drizzly morning to run in, and instead ran in the showers of this early evening.

To be honest, today's run was driven as much (if not more) by blipfoto than by anticipated pleasure from the run. It's not that I dislike running, merely that I've been a little tired and lethargic. I had been inside all day except for getting lunch, and had had no photo ops at all.

Because I knew that there were one or two new thoughts pasted up, I thought I would be boring and trot along Ponsonby Road through the Friday after work masses (fortunately not actually very massive). Not far along I went past this second hand shop known as Real Time. I blipped it in June 2011 in the early morning well before opening time. Subsequently, when passing later in the day. I have noticed the presence of a table and chairs (whether for sale or not, I don't know), and occasionally one or two people sitting there.

This group took my fancy. He noticed me stop and looked, and started grinning as soon as he saw me get the camera out of its protective bag. Zigzag looked to see what he was grinning about, and barely managed to control her expression, while Dark and Mysterious just wanted me to go away. They appreciated my acknowledgement of their participation, and I carried, on, rather more energised than before.

It's not really a cafe. Nevertheless, it looks good in large.
