Café society...

According to this article in the Guardian, I’m not the only one who searches out sources of free wifi. Lots of freelancers prefer to work in cafés rather than at home (the ambient noise helps them to concentrate, apparently, and no doubt the coffee tastes better than ‘instant’). But the backlash has begun, with some cafés turning off the wifi and becoming ‘laptop-free’.

I try to behave myself… not going online for hours while still nursing a cold mug of tea. And I certainly don’t try to hog a table at lunchtime. For those who want to get the café vibe, even when they’re at home, an app offers a variety of background noises, from ‘morning murmer’ to ‘Texas teahouse’…
