I was booked to come in early today. Not 730am but 830am. Which is actually a pain.
It means it doesn’t matter if I leave an hour before hand I’m still stuck in traffic.
Today I thought I’d leave early so got up like for my usual 730am shift. Left just before 7am to drive to a cafe on route to the hospital to have breakkie .
On second thought I got take away instead. A mediterranean focaccia and a latte . Then off to the petrol station to fill up and to grab the papers and a donut.
It’s 745am when I finally pulled into my park.
This is the streetscape near the hospital. I see them on my way to work. 
My breakkie and lunch as there’s nothing to eat at the hospital. Being private they don’t have their own cafeteria and only a small cafe run by Hudsons. 
Having breakkie to this view.

They had to close their stores here apparently it didn’t go down well with the Aussies though when you want a donut and there’s no fresh ones around it will have to do Marty 🙂

Oh, dear. My sympathies. They came on like gangbusters when they went corporate. You couldn’t go two blocks without seeing one, which if you think about it must have really pissed off the Starbucks police. Anyway, they’ve mostly disappeared here too, though when you’re on a road trip and stop in some tiny hamlet for gas you still see one occasionally. And still in every grocery store for some reason. Honestly, a seven week old Bear Claw (do you have those there?) found at a gas station mini-market is a better breakfast. 😉

Starbucks died over here as well. We love good coffees here and are particular about it. Guess they didn’t realise Aussies are that particular about it.
We don’t have bear claws , first time I’ve heard of them but we do have Apple danishes and almond pastries . Our petrol stations don’t sell much. More like donuts and hot stuff like pies and sausage rolls dim sims etc . There’s Bakers Delight a bakery franchise that sells pastries and bread.
