“Make Hay When the Sun Shines”
This is an American/English proverb that is saying the same thing as, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” or almost the same idea as, “The early bird gets the worm.”
Madame Monet

About Café Crem
Hello Boys & Girls from around the World!
Fancy a coffee with us?
Café Crem was created by Miki and Kev Moore in 2007 with the intention of gathering like-minded artists, writers and musicians together around the coffee table to discuss and share thoughts, ideas, art, etc.
This initial desire has surpassed our wildest dreams with a myriad of collaborations taking place between the various members, creating pieces of work that simply would not exist without Café Crem.
Have a wander though in our different rooms:
“Cafe Literati”, the Literary Room
“Café L’Arte”, the Art Gallery
“Ca’ Puccini”, the Music Studio
and, last but not least,
“The MiniBar”, our creative space for our kids and teens!
You are all welcome.
Contact Miki at miki7@mac.com if you want to participate!

To take it a stage further, I always feel this saying is about capitalising on the optimum moment, that moment not necessarily being now, but simply the moment when your actions will give you the greatest return.
“The early bird gets the worm” should be updated to include modern stereotypes, along the lines of “The early German tourist gets the poolside sunbed.”
The same in French: “il ne faut pas remettre au lendemain ce qui peut être fait le jour même”. There is too a very strange word for name the fact of putt off until tomorrow something you can do today: “procrastination”
Woh Contessine, you know thiiiiings! Never heard this word before…
And, don’t forget: tonight, and not tomorrow, dinner by Uncle Claude!
Good one!
If only there was an antidote to laziness.. ermm.. is there one?
Careful, Supe,
“Lazy youth makes a lousy age”
An antidote? yeh! Come to me, I’ll make you work! Cleaning, cooking, shopping, gardening, counting, carrying Kevin’s guitar and my golf bag, driving, reading books to me, fighting my boredom, drawing, writing, and if you do all that well and there is some time left, i’ll allow you to look at Nancy Football Club…
Actually Supe, Miki’s got a point…we could REALLY do with the hedge trimming.
and with the palm tree cutting…
oh yeh, the house facade must be repainted too…
Oyee.. Kev and Miki..
What did your your last slave die of?
