coffee and cigarettes
Oh dear, this is my current “coffee and cigarettes” pic. How much did I mellow over the years?….Stopped smoking nearly two decades ago. Borrowed my daughter’s mug and listening to son’s CD tonight, ha! .(I’m a Jazz listener though)
And picked the latest copy of Granta (UK’s quarterly magazine, they
say The Magazine of New Writing, highly recommended, just in case you
are not a Brit)
On the road again – where travel writing went next……… How far did I
come so far? Son’s going to a school trip on Monday, carrying my
world travelled backpack which I bought in Nepal ages ago. On the road
again…..Will I? Or am I still on the road?
By the way, the CD is Arctic Monkeys' ”Whatever People Say I Am, That's I Am Not”.

Two of my favourite hobbies, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. They say God created coffee so smokers could stay up longer..

*miyabean: コーヒーと煙草とくればしぶしぶのモノクロのはず。このソフトぶりは何?昔はもっとクールだった のよ。ジム・ジャームッシュの映画みたいな写真が撮れたはずなのに。 旅?ああ、旅人に戻りたい 。昔ネパールで買ったバックパックはいまや息子のもの。ぶつぶつ・・・・中年女の土曜の夜の独り 言
*C book: Good to know that you like Arctic Monkeys too!! He is eleven, but his PC is full of rock with i tune. I borrow Arctic Monkeys and the Killers from his collection. His latest fav is the Lost Prophets.
*frankieh: I was able to shoot a cool pic of the devine combi like Jim Jarmusch's film.....alas, not anymore.! Thanks for stopping by.
*mintylazuli: it might be misleading, but Arctic Monkey is UK's rock band. What music do you like?

ふむふむ。
そっか。そういうものか。
僕はかつても今もクールでも渋かったこともないので、
よくわからないぞい。
タバコは嫌いだし、シュークリームは大好きだし。
コーヒーより、アールグレイですわ。おほほ。

Eh...that isn't a real ashtray, is it? Just a CD inside cover design, yes?

A beautifully composed picture that creates a mood of late nights in a bygone era. The grain works really well. I've read a number of the Granta anthology books but wasn't aware there was a magazine. I should look out for it. It sounds like something I would appreciate.

Wonderful!

*la febbra: thanks, you are so kind:D
*droimarais: yes, I gave up smoking more than a decade ago. But a cool CD, isn't it?
*Dancing Fish: sorry if it's confusing. Granta is a book, but they call themselves magazine, so I use the word "magazine". Full collection (94 volumes so far) in my living room (they belong to my hubby).
@ianrobins: thanks!
