      Hey Jayne! Extremely! She couldn't stop grinning the second time, and led me to a flat, three-legged table. And brought it in a lidded take-away cup ;) Indigo x

    ...and he's back!

    "His shuffling feet are the shambling demise of civilisation." Now there's a line to conjure up many a tale!

    Sorry about the scalded legs though. Trust no permanent damage. Great writing Indigo. Have a fun Sunday. YAM xx

      Namaste Yamini! You're too kind, madame, far too kind. The legs held up magnificently, but as a heavy and very tall lad, they should be use to extreme stress by now. And thank you, have a wonderful weekend! Indigo

    That woman deserves more than the minimum wage. {And also to work for an employer who pays their fair dues in taxes}

    Welcome home! It's been a while brewing no doubt.

      Hey Alistair! It was a local business; you'd never catch me in one of those overpriced homogenous coffee houses! *looks shifty* And thank you, it's good to be out of the cellar. Roth

      Hey Jack! Thank you, tho clumsy is unknown to you, I'd imagine? Being able to sip a decent latte on the deck of a warship in a force 8 gale tales special skills, and you have them in spades. Arrrr! Roth

    Before I reached the part of the second spill, I was imagining a second spill, intentionally done, to test the good nature and delightful service.
    Oh, and for a laugh.

      Hey BoomBoom! Hopefully you've not taken any spills lately, either? It's always a pleasure to see you without a cast on. Roth x

      Hey Jenn! I have been shamefully absent, it's true. But I have a note from my mother. Indigo x

    Oh, how I can relate! I am a clutz of the highest calibre. I once tripped and fell while standing absolutely still. Obviously, we could never go for coffee, my friend. I am glad to see you back here finally. I was starting to think I'd have to start another challenge. :-)

      Hey Nicky! Oh, I know it well, believe me. And to show solidarity, if you need someone to cling onto while wearing some trickily tall heels, I'm your man x Indigo

      Hey Mia! I am embracing my inner klutz as my age creeps ever onwards. And thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed. Indigo x

    I loved so much of this.

    "...bristling with paper towels and assurances about an imminent mop" was just the beginning of it.

    Your clumsiness has become our amusement. So be it. :-)

      Hey PearlyGirl! I'm delighted that my quaint, ham-fisted Britishness hits the spot for you. And rest assured, this is not an isolated incident.

      Hey Kato! Thank you, my dear! "Clumsy is as clumsy does" as my Momma always says. But then she also says, "Roth! Shut the hell up!" Bless you, Indigo x

    I think you should have had cake (no coffee). All your problems here? Solved.
    Loved this. Very, very well-written. Who'd have thought shuffling feet were really social commentary?

      Hey Dawn! Ooooh, d'you know, I might suggest they start offering me that. In fact, several cakes and a glass of milk. No pesky caffeine. True dat, cherie! Indigo x
