Sad cup

In our house we’ve got pairs of cups and saucers that sit on top of the coffee machine, latte cups and espresso cups, and we use them every day because there’s always 2 of us having cups of coffee … as you know, one of my favourite pastimes is to have a coffee and bikkie gathering. But, there are a couple of one-offs: a Ritzenhoff latte glass that Basel Lisa sent me years ago and my new present from New York, a ceramic version of the classic blue New York takeaway cup.

I only get to use either of these cups when the Mister is not around – so typically once every 4-6 weeks when there’s a Xero product release and he has to get up in the wee hours of the morning to go into work, or stay there all night like he did last night – and because a) I have to drink my morning coffee alone and b) because the cups don’t have a mate, they’re referred to as a ‘sad cup’.

Maiden voyage for the New York sad cup this morning. Good brew too!

Hope he got a cup of coffee when he did get home to revive him, as he must have been feeling pretty sad. M.U.M
