It all began
as soon as you had finished reading this sentence. So, now. But if you weren’t
ready then don’t worry for there is still time to stop; there is always time to
stop. Of course, that is not to suggest that the story hasn’t actually started
yet. After all, you were the one that finished reading the sentence and I am
afraid that there is very little that can be done about that. However, it
should also be noted that you are under no obligation to continue; at least, under
no obligation to me. In fact, as far as I’m concerned, my life would have been a
whole lot easier had you not begun at all, in which case I wouldn’t have to be
explaining your current predicament to you. Nevertheless, this is your story,
not mine. Therefore, whether or not you choose to continue reading is entirely
up to you. For my part, I shall sincerely endeavour not to judge you by your decision,
even if that decision is to mercilessly abandon the story that you began.
For those who are even remotely interested in the origin and rise of coffee culture, this documentary is an excellent place to start. Apparently this is the first of a three-part series that originally aired a few years ago, although unfortunately only the first and third episodes are currently available on YouTube. In any case, this is well worth a watch - perhaps even over a cup of coffee!
