Kandil
Kandil. Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Six in the evening. Here are coming we who want to drink a coffee with buns, to play mus, or table tennis, or practise yoga, or read the papers… We have a good time. Above all when one wins the match against Javi, who is a professional, or in mus to Félix, who bets 15 points of 30 each game to the littlest value cards without law.
But this does not happen usually, except to have coffee with buns, because Javi has won the table tennis match, and Félix, well…, Félix can play with his cards as though he had no game partner (four kings and even so he has bet a lot to the littlest value cards). However, he is so lucky, most of times it is preferable to have him as game partner.
That of coffee with buns is something we real coffee addicts wait for since we enter at six in the evening. In this Félix stands out too: He drinks two or three coffees with milk and with buns from his plastic cup, which he carries in his hand from a spot to another, with a little spoon inside the cup, while he wets the bun, letting fall down a little of coffee here and there, because Félix does not sit down to drink his coffee, but he drinks it standing.
And, without removing merits to other monitors, that of Wednesdays, Estefanía, well…, Estefanía is capable of achieving to create a fraternal atmosphere between us that is not possible in the most selected world’s private clubs. Fuck them off!
We vindicate Mondays and Fridays. Live on Wednesdays! Bourbons to sharks!
