armadillo-denApril 05 Update: Coffee Stop cafe closed Regrettably the Coffee Stop cafe which I described previously has closed. This is sad but in the present economic situation very understandable. Allison the proprietress has now taken another job, and we wish her well, with thanks for her hospitality and helpfulness - and great food! I am not sure what is to happen with the premises - whether they will be taken over as a going concern, be refurbished still as a cafe, or become something else. Meanwhile the two monthly events, Prayer in Unity and Yes-U-Are, which used to be hosted in the cafe, are continuing elsewhere. Life moves on! February 28 the Coffee Stop cafeHi, this is an unashamed plug for my favourite little cafe! I'm glad to feature it here, as I eat there myself and am acquainted with its proprietor. Dunfermline has many places to eat but some are way too pricey, busy or noisy. However this one is none of those but is handily close both to the Bus Station and to city centre parking: the Disabled spaces (in Queen Anne Street opposite the Post Office) and the larger car parks on Carnegie Drive.
The friendly proprietor, Allison, prepares and serves good food to eat in or take away, at very reasonable prices...
... as you can see from the menu shown here (if you have good eyesight! I didn't have digital originals to upload, but I scanned these instead). Try clicking on the image to make it bigger.
I may add some interior and exterior photos of the Coffee Stop when I can! It was dark when I was there tonight... but more to the point my wife Bev has our digital camera with her, helping to run the Youth Group's weekend away... always an eventful exciting time, and so her need was greater.
On the last Friday evening of each month Allison kindly opens the Coffee Stop outside its normal opening hours, to host two special events:
7-8.15 : the Prayer-in-Unity monthly meeting (members of any of Dunfermline's Christian congregations meeting in thanksgiving and prayer for those around us)
and
8.15 onwards : the Yes-U-Are Cafe (a city-centre space to meet, relax, discuss, maybe sing or recite or other activities... ).
Yes-U-Are is a forward-looking local initiative to proclaim human worth and promote creative opportunities here. I've been involved for several years now. We hope to grow and develop this further and, in time, to acquire or share premises to provide a relaxed space for meeting/activity/performance/exhibition/reflection right in the busy centre of Dunfermline.
Meanwhile, maybe I'll see you at the Coffee Stop sometime?! January 07 March of the Socks (okay, January...);-D
The sock issue is surely one of the most important facing our civilisation.
Why are they among us?
what do they want? one may often see them in a clump with other slight garments (a clump known as a 'nethergather'). what are they discussing together?
odd socks indicate that one has gone wandering, likely to consult with its wider network elsewhere.
or maybe it is a sock u have never seen before? a visiting delegate? (check sock identities carefully) personally i think their intentions are benign. why shouldn't they meet up freely?
(in the washing machine - are they having a free-for-all debate, demo, or ceilidh/party/rave? or something for which we have no parallel?...)
maybe there is much that we and they can learn from each other.
sock-puppets/sock-puppeteers provide a much-needed service, as intermediaries for diplomatic contact.
why not help promote unity by hosting upon your person several sock factions at once? (eg representatives from the Plains and the Stripeys)
-one on each foot, or even several nested together in this cold weather - there you go, a roving conference!
i applaud your initiative in working for a tolerant, accepting and multicolouredfooted future!
 (next- opening negotiations with their close kin from mittenkind and glovekind)
June 02 My writing onlineI have started submitting articles here (Helium.com), as well as uploading my artwork and writing to RedBubble.com.
You can see my essays "What is Normal?" and "Relax - God loves you!", which originated here as blog entries,
happy in their new second home at
There are articles and debates on many topics at Helium, which you can search or browse randomly.
Would-be writers can also get helpful feedback on their work, and can rate other writers' efforts there.
This is a good way to learn from and encourage each other.
I love writing, and expect to make money from my writing... hopefully soon!
Enquiries welcome... I write poems (including humorous or commemorative verse), prose, fact, fiction, songs, anagrams, calligraphy, graphics, all sorts...
I welcome feedback too! (comment on what I have written, or, share your own writing if you like. I'd be glad to see it... I like to read, a lot!)
