I called into the Six Sentence Café & Bistro for a spot of breakfast on my way to the Magicke Shoppe to get some supplies; their two sausage and egg combos are a must, especially if you get there very early, when they are a third of the price and you get double the combo.
I went for the 2S&E Combo with hash browns – that’s two sausages, two fried eggs (you can have scrambled or poached, but I prefer my eggs fried) and six hash browns (which look as dry as a bone, but once you bite through the crispy coating they taste absolutely amazing)… even with the ‘regular’ meal with three hash browns it’s filling, but six just gives it that added boost – and a cup of tea.
I don’t know who it was who served me – I’ve seen her in the SSC&B before, but I haven’t really got to know everyone there properly yet, and I still want to call the ones I know by different names – she was very pleasant all the same.
That’s why I was heading to the Magicke Shoppe – I needed to get some beeswax candles and a vial of sap from the uu tree to use to cast a lasting memory spell on myself; I’m OK mostly with faces I see when in the places I know them (unless I’m new there and they’re new to me…), and I’m OK with long time familiar faces (and family…), but I get everyone mixed up if I see familiar faces in places where I don’t expect to see them – sometimes the faces belong to the people I should know and don’t recognise, and other times I see features on people’s faces who remind me of other people, but I have no clue who.
Breakfast finished, leisurely followed by a second cup of tea, and then I was set to start my day proper and head to the shop, when an old friend who I hadn’t seen for years walked into the SSC&B wanting to tell me all about their holiday in the deep jungles of somewhere or other – how they knew I was in the SSC&B at that time is anyone’s guess, although there’s a certain kind of magical energy, actually, more of a pull, about this place which draws you to it.
We’d spent hours looking through what seemed like millions of holiday snaps – all very interesting and, coincidentally, a couple of really good photos of the red-barked uu trees (that made me smile) – when I noticed the time on the station clock on the wall, and I had ten minutes to get to the shop before it closed for the day; I apologised to Barry, explaining why I had to dash off – when she reminded me her name was Tiffany.
