Mostly the "white noise" aspect - the background rumble from distant conversations. They also smell good (people who don't like coffee might disagree), and a change of venue is a good way of getting out of a mental rut.
Makes sense. Ta.

If someone can figure out how to make carbon fiber from carbon capture at an industrial scale we'll have the atmosphere up to scratch right quick.

What happened there?
The missus wanted my help cleaning out her garden shed, and I foolishly agreed. I was steadying the ladder while she cleared stuff off an upper shelf. She dropped a pair of pruning shears which hit me in the mouth. I plan to milk this for all it's worth.
The pain was tremendous.

I'm having honey lavender coffee this morning. It's from Aldi's. It's quite piquant. I'm reminded of another coffee that I once had. I'm not sure I can drink more than a cup, though.

I'm thinking that Aldi's called this coffee honey lavender so that I wouldn't be alarmed by the odd taste. Rather than being an exciting taste, I think it's just bad coffee misleadingly labeled.
