The
The last week has been full. Mostly full of exploring and learning.I am a week into my internship,and still praying God will provide the finances for the rest of it. Working here has been really good though!
The first day the whole cafe crew went out to our fearless boss' place and ate brilliant food, talked, told stories and laughed. It seems that our group is very high on the sass scale, so I really don't think I will ever be bored around here. I have been working quite a few shifts and i'm getting quite good at thickshakes, even inventing my own!
Another thing the Cafe does is open house mic night called Porchlight sessions. The first Porchlights session was amazing, with our musicians really bringing down the house. Yesterday we all went to Bellisimos to learn how to make proper coffee. I never knew how important grind and pressure and timing is! We practiced Latte art, foaming milk, making a good shot and.... whipping each other with towels. I have also learned to open and close, to clean the machine, and memorized all the table numbers.
Every time we go out to pick things up for the cafe, we try to seek out a cafe to get inspired by. There's one in fortitude that looks so beautiful, but its so hipster it's impossible to find, and when you do it's closed. Aptly named the lost boys cafe. The little corners of Brisbane are so pretty to walk around anyways!
I would love it so much if you guys could visit, but for now, a bit of a visual tour will do.
