The forecast had said rain would ease off from 8 AM. As I stepped on to the wet pavement it felt like rain had started to turn into ice. It probably wasn't but I noticed a slight wobble in my legs and decided upon coffee time. I spend an hour or more in a coffee shop almost four days per week, sometimes even more. The sheer necessity of reliable internet connection is perhaps more important than the quality of coffee beans. It should really be the other way round but sadly, LawNewsIndex requires a fair bit of bandwidth in terms of the compilation, collation and editing of the pages several times each day. I grabbed a seat by the window in a branch of Starbucks in Victoria. It was so blissfully sunny for a few moments that morning, but then it went. I had missed those moments of sun trying to switch on the netbook and fumbling for the headphones inside my rucksack. Eventually, when I settled down, took my first sip of the coffee, it was starting to rain again. It was going to be a long day. Brad Mehldau started on 'Blame it on my youth'.
