If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

I’ve always wanted to open a café. It would have ethical beans & milks. It’d source used furniture & books. The books would be for the customers to take. I’d have titles like “Infinite Jest” & the Brontë sisters & of course some Shakespeare.

I’d have coffee & home made treats fresh every day. Because I did the poetry slam back in the day I’d have an open mic once a month.

The WiFi however would be  purchase only as I’m a writer that still believes in paper & pen. The purchase would Only last 45 minutes at a time & not unlimited.

Because the world is sick of bricks in cafés that hog tables with the crusty, gross cups of lattes that were finished 3-4 hours. Nope. No bricks in my café. Writers yes but they’d have to show that they’re not using the WiFi to write their book.

Would you support my endeavour? Or would the WiFi be a deal breaker?

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

If I won plane tickets I’d probably go back to Australia?! I really liked our vacation there a decade ago.

I’d go to Melbourne & check out the food scene there. & go up to the rain forest & I’d like to see Tassie.

Another part of Australia I’d like to see is Alice Springs. Skipping Uhluruu & flying to NZ where I’d like to see both islands. I love the series “Brokenwood” & I would like to see the rural parts of NZ & hike the trails around the islands.

Where would you go?

What are your future travel plans?

I’m excited as we leave for our road trip within the next 2 weeks. Getting out of town will be lovely. We’re picking up our new EV the week we leave (fingers crossed.)

Going up North will be lovely & we’re visiting family while we are there. Anyway, I hope to go up to the mountains & pick some cloudberries & wild blueberries.

I’m excited about how we’ll do it. The four legged creature is coming with us that means we got to give him some breaks as we drive.

It’ll be interesting to see the country again & with an EV & not gas. Anyway, wish us a safe journey. What trip are you excited about.
