Sitting in a shop rather than on the go,

I'll enjoy my Latte and she'll enjoy a cappuccino. #Shelanospeaks

The world is pretty gloomy so I'm going to try and post something fun each day. Please feel free to join me in the comments:
It's the weekend which is great,
An opportunity to stay up late,
Some free time to enjoy and adore,
Not for me this weekend as I have to see my mother-in-law. #Shelanospeaks
