And What a day indeed…

We had the dry-run for the Metanoia Cafe at the Merton Abbey Mills in wimbledon today.

Everyone was stressed… I wanted to be open since the morning (even if just to sell coffees and whatever we had ready), my mother didn’t want to open at all till we were 100% ready, my sister was didided in the middle (yup… it is sort of a family business… hehehe), we didn’t have an internet connection (appart from my vodafone mobile internet card) and the food wasn’t perfect – at least not to my standards because everyone else that tried the stuff LOVED IT! (we gave away free samples!!) – and I had to force an oppening at 2pm (ish) which gave us only a 3 hour open-to-the-public-test-run…

Even so and against all expectations, people loved the coffee (I now know how to do a mocha! And a Latte, and even a Machiato using a big commercial machinne! yayyy), absolutelly LOVED the food, can’t wait for the workshops, and for us to be open with all the optionals Included (studio, Lan-House, etc)…

Weirdest of all, we ended the day with some proffit (liquid but proffit all the same)!!!

I have WAY too many ideas turning round and round in my head…

I am (A LOT LESS) stressed!

I am tired as shit!

I am surprised that with all the variables the day was a relative success…

I am in shut down mode…

BUT I AM HAPPY!

Time to reavaliate some things and reacess others and plan ahead and fix the lil problems that are still on the way…

BUT I AM HAPPY!!

I also need a VERY HOT shower!!
