Ha ha! I would not say "guzzle", but I do enjoy it. Actually Starbucks is not my favourite, but if the other shops have gone bust I will have to go there. I will find out on Monday.

On Monday the "non-essential" shops re-open. But how can coffee suppliers be non-essential ???
I have managed to procure ground coffee for consumption at home, but it is not the same as having some in the wider world.
The days of socialising over tea & coffee seem to have long gone...
Have faith Beatrice, those days will return.
I would say they were gone long ago. Once beverages were packaged into neat takeaways, I was never called to tea again...

The world has seen more than 7.4 million reported cases of the coronavirus as of Thursday afternoon. At least 417,700 people have died.
In many places, the virus has only now arrived, with ever-increasing numbers of cases and deaths. https://t.co/dselW1XYCM
What is happening to people everywhere? Isn't this a dangerous time to be protesting?
Perhaps people never stopped to think before?
Au contraire, I would say they aren't thinking now.

Very moving and hopeful wish for the future
He has retained his wisdom. In fact, it may even be increasing.
Don't be derisive. He is an acknowledged free thinker and advocate for world peace.

Mod
Ha ha! You are encouraging me to be lazy? It is forecast to be dry on Saturday, I can wait until then. There is a saying, absence [of coffee] makes the heart grow fonder.
Mod
True. But we avoid the extremes of earthquakes and hurricanes.
Mod
I admire your stoicism GB, but such things scare me. I did experience an earthquake once, and that was enough for me.

I went on the bus into town, wearing my mask of course. Greggs was open as advertised, but unfortunately there were no cakes. But the coffee tasted like nectar after months of abstinence.
