Brews, bites, flicks and darts (:

I just made a cup of my favorite Turkish coffee, organized some of the paperwork I'm taking with me tomorrow for a head scan (just one irrelevant detail, but I counted: tomorrow will be the 11th time, btw) and nowww I can finally spam you with photos from a few days ago.

Last Friday, my fiancé and I went to my sister's boyfriend place for his family's Slava. More precisely, it was the third day of the celebration, when he invited his "younger crowd". Obviously, that includes us, no debate there. xD Lovely guests, we sat around until late, drinks were flowing, music was playing and we even sang loudly a couple of times. Such an amazing atmosphere.

We stayed over at their place and the next day, after waking up a bit later and having warm sandwiches for breakfast, we dressed properly because it was freezing outside and headed into the city. The plan was a movie and then darts, but before the cinema we had plenty of time to grab coffee at a beautiful coffee house and also to eat something. Because you donnot go to the cinema on an empty stomach. Just imagine a scene where the only sound you hear is the thunder of your rebellious stomach. 😁

Good vibes and good coffee! And while we were waiting for the coffee we ordered, I made sure to at least capture a couple of nice photos of the ambiance around us. Isn't this little snowman adorable? And those wallpapers behind us, plus the lighting in the place, it all feels so warm and cozy. You feel like you're at home, snuggled up with a cup of something hot while it's snowing outside.

In our scene, the only thing missing was snow, since it had melted in the days before, but the frost really set in and there was also some crazy wind blowing that day, so we kept our walk outside to a minimum.

The coffees finally arrived. When I say "finally" it sounds like we'd been waiting forever, which really wasn't the case. The waiter and the bartender were super fast, great service, which adds to that warm, cozy feeling while you're sitting there. Such a lovely place. 🥰

My fiancé ordered an Irish coffee with caramel, my sister went with the classic option, a lungo espresso with warm milk, her boyfriend got a large chocolate mocha with extra hazelnuts on top and I ordered a small white mocha.

To be clear, none of us had any idea what we were ordering, except my sister, she played it safe. When the drinks arrived, everyone tried everything and then we rated whose was better. The selection is huge anyway, you really should order something different every time just to try it all. I liked mine a lot, although that extra hazelnut mocha was even better!

The cutest Santa Claus jumps into the frame to send you hugs and good vibes. I was never really crazy about New Year's decorations before, I was more the type to freeze my fingers outside while setting off a barrage of firecrackers, buuut well, I guess you get older and your taste changes.

I almost put this one in my bag and took him home for next New Year. Just kidding, I wouldn't even if I'd had a big enough bag with me. 😅

That's always our joke when we see a cool mug, glass, plate.. somewhere. Like oooh, how nice it would be to take this home, just grab it and ruuuuuuuuun!

After we finished our coffee, we went to a restaurant. I only photographed my own plate cause I really annoy people when I start snapping photos of food and delay everyone from actually eating. I knooow, it is annoying, buuut how else could I be telling you about it now if I didn't have a photo? It has to be backed up with evidence! (:

So I'll only talk about my burger: homemade bacon, a mustard and dill sauce and a mix of fresh and pickled cucumbers, along with the standard cabbage salad, onions and tomatoes inside. Though honestly, there's not much more to say. It was gone before you could say COOKIE.

All that food didn't stop us from getting popcorn at the cinema, becaaause why would you even go to the movies if you're not eating cinema popcorn. That's basically the whole point. The movie is just a side thing. Jokes aside, the movie was fine too, though the popcorn definitely won!
I'm not going to talk about the film, I'll just say that we weren't the only ones in the cinema, even if the photo makes it look that way. (:

And now comes the most exciting part of the day… darts!
Another thing where I always think I'm amazing… until I pick up the darts after a long break. I'm a disaster! Luckily, our dart machine was in the corner of the room, so I didn't injure anyone. 😅 Honestly, it took me a good three or four rounds to get my act together and start hitting somewhere near the target. I didn't care what I scored, I just didn't want my darts ending up on the floor anymore. xD

Meanwhile, my sister completely blew us away! She was amazing and then their friend showed up to join us and he's really good too. They all play darts often, so they're practiced pros.

We stayed there for quite a while. At one point, we thought about switching to billiards, but we didn’t. Probably for the best, because I have this…khm... talent for sending the cue ball onto another table with my stick. Don't ask me how. Ahhahaha.

Are you guys good at these games? Do you even play them and do you enjoy them? I love all of them, even if I'm not good at a lot of things. That's not a problem, I just adore taking part, even when I'm the butt of the joke. That's where I'm at my best. Joking at my own expense - my territory, it's where I shine the most. (:
