Heaven on Earth

Another gray day in Oxford. I really had forgotten how abysmal the English summer weather could be. So after dealing with another domestic situation - a new washing machine has been ordered - Colin and I went off to get a caffeine fix at Blackwell's Bookstore.


They boast serving "the finest espresso this side of Milan". Don't know about that, but the view was interesting.


This is the air-conditioning - an open window. Actually, it's really weird because, as there usually isn't any A/C, it can get uncomfortably stuffy inside stores, even on cool, cloudy days.

And here's the cappuccino. Unfortunately, I had to gulp it down as they closed at 6pm and so we got kicked out. This is no Borders...
