Cafe Mad


I've taken to having breakfast every day in "Cafe Mad", really called "Casa Madeira", a lovely Portuguese cafe near my work.

I think breakfast is the best meal of the day to eat out. It's the time of day I can least be bothered to cook for myself; the food is cheaper, for some reason; and there's no expectation that I'll buy a bottle of wine marked up 300%.

It's the perfect start to my day, sitting in this lovely cafe, friendly waiter service, watching the world rush by, reading my book or doing the crossword, with a cup of decent coffee (good enough to be worth drinking black) and reminding myself that people who eat breakfast are generally healthier. And there's always space for a whole table to myself. Life doesn't get better than this! Ahhhhh
