Merkel and Myrtle visited Carnevale Coffee which has taken over the shops at 114-118 East Avenue Clarence Park south of Sublime Cafe. Carnevale is a coffee roaster who provides a
relaxing café experience. It is
furnished by a mixture of wooden tables and chairs. Chess boards are provided on a couple of
tables. A number of light meals such as
salads, wraps, croissants and filos are available. The chess score was Merkel:2 Myrtle:0.
The hot chocolate came in a red ceramic cup and green saucer. It is was topped with ample white froth and
liberal sprinkle of chocolate powder.
The taste was light, creamy and chocolaty. The cost was $3.50.
"The chess score was Merkel:2 Myrtle:0."
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand I'm thinking: this comes as no surprise.
On the other hand I'm thinking: Come on, Myrtle, lift your game!

ReplyDeleteAs Myrtle is a member of Mensa she is always a worthy opponent at mind games. She always beats me at backgammon.
We compete in the Scrabble state titles tomorrow. I have maintained an advantage over Myrtle in this game through diligent word study.

Hmm... I'm no chess player Mr Smith, so I understand the lack of surprise on your part. Perhaps you would care for a game of Scrabble under competition conditions?
