Diamond - Friday

This morning was mainly a filter coffee and scones one, but my favourite customers came in and ordered two lattes and scones. She sat holding a stick while he stood at the counter and paid. She hoped they had enough English money, she said, because they'd been away in Switzerland for 5 weeks. She's 77, he 82 and he'd driven to Switzerland and back to celebrate 60 years since they became engaged. It's their diamond anniversary next year. She told me a few of the things they'd done over the last few weeks and said they were busy "SKI -ing" ( Spending the Kids Inheritance). "We might as well," he added, "because if we leave anything they'll only buy a car with it". She giggled and said, "We're SKI-ing. And I can't even walk".
