... thefridayfive and we'll see how well this works.

It was something shapinglight asked that made me realise I only ever post in photo_scavenger these days. Then I saw kazzy_cee's mention of thefridayfive, so I am going to give it a go.

The Friday Five for January 20, 2017

1. How do you like your coffee?
I drink my coffee white (or, more accurately, dark brown) with milk (never with cream) and one sugar. Except at work, where without a fridge milk doesn't keep, so I've become accustomed to drinking it black with no sugar.

2. How do you like your tea?
Strongish, with a small amount of milk, about as dark as my coffee and with no sugar.

3. What's your favourite late night beverage?
Even after all these years of reading fanfic written by Americans, I still do a double take when presented with the word 'beverage' *g* It makes me think of hot bovril for some reason. But to answer the question about favourite (evening and late night) drinks...
Week nights - various fruit juices diluted with soda water, so I can drink a number of them from a tall glass. (It's all about the volume.)
Weekends - G&T.

4. If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
That's a difficult one because I have a serious caffeine addiction and would hate not having my early morning coffee. But you can't drink coffee all day, so I guess it would have be the week-night answer to question 3 (and feel sorry for anybody who comes into contact with me during my withdrawal).

5. If you were on vacation (again, a word I don't use, so - holiday), what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
And again a reference to question 3 (I am a creature of habit) - gin and tonic.

Heh, for me, it's all kneel at the altar of the all important coffee urn. Are you familiar with old musicals? In How to Succeed in Business there is a song dedicated to coffee. It is totally on the mark.

I am not familiar with old musicals and I had not heard of that song, but Youtube is a wonderful thing. That is funny.

I'm glad you found it. It really is a great look back at the business world of the sixties.

Yes, one of the Youtube extracts had a coffee urn on a trolley. Very sixties.

Sadly, so much of the show doesn't update - it's the sixties or nothing. :D

And, unfortunately, there are fewer of us (I speak only for myself) around now who remember what the sixties were like... Although, as they say, "If you remember the sixties..."

It's true. It was a time, that's for certain. I remember the protests and the war... I would like to think we aren't headed for that time again, but I am afraid...

No, politics is not looking good at the moment. I choose not to engage on line, but I have thoughts and fears.

I can certainly understand that. It's my wish as well, but somehow my friends can't seem to let it go at that.
