I wanted to watch the sunrise with a coffee in my hand. I was galloping towards the first place that was open. My Starbucks girlfriend was still sleeping. This was a solo expedition and honestly, I was looking forward to a straight up long black. The sky clouded over and the rain started. It is what it is, no golden beams for me this morning.

I was walking through the backstreets of Raglan with my Starbucks girlfriend. It was late and the moon was almost full but there was enough silvery light to not get scared of the dark. We had been hotfooting it along the water, trying to keep ahead of the rain.
