I assume this means you are home again? Thanks for all the fascinating posts and I raise my glass of Red Wine Spritzer to you, glad you got back safe and sound

Popcorn, contemplating home made root beer.

Beautiful.

Peet's Major Dickason's coffee, then a mug of Peet's Anniversary Breakfast Blend while I watch the final curling match of the season - The Players, with Eve Muirhead of Scotland leading in the final.

Thank you. Yes, after 24+ hours of travel I came home yesterday. A bit wobbly from time-shifting as well -5 hours and again -1 hour, so no alcool for me.

Life goes on...... done my washing, cleaned my suitcase, work this week. I have some 1600 photo's to sort........

I love the cup you brought back and am looking forward to your photos when you get them done.

Isn't it good to be home in your own bed and all the comforts of home again?

Making toast and waiting for a fresh cup of coffee.

Oberon. Good beer.

Somehow nothing tastes good enough to report in this thread right now ;o(

Well, that's just sad. Especially in view of the fact that others have posted in this thread when they were just having water.

In my cup right now is the skin of a grapefruit. The grapefruit used to be there, but it's gone now.

A bottle of water and a fresh cup of coffee.

Wishing I had more M&M's.

Yeah, even water tastes a bit off in this thread right now

Why's that?

Home sweet home....
I unpacked the oilpainting (100x50 cm) of the Registan Square I bought in Samarkand (Uzbekistan). It was a bit of a risk; took it off the frame and rolled it -picture facing outwards-with a piece of cloth- around two plastic water bottles, and then plastic.
It has survived the subsequent car-train-bus journeys. Now I'll figure out how to try to mount and stretch the canvas on a new frame.

in my cup: hot Ceylon tea in a thermos mug (bought in China, where every one walks around with a mobile phone and a thermos mug filled with green tea).

What a great idea on how to transport your painting. The canvas on it looks very soft; Does it still feel like cloth?

Fresh coffee in my cup and a biscotti on my plate.

Around the painting it feels like canvas, sturdy cloth, but the painted part is thicker and rigid.

Peet's Anniversary Breakfast Blend this morning, along with my fresh squeezed orange juice. But now, time for a more relaxing afternoon tea -- I think some Okayti Estate First Flush Darjeeling. A perfect afternoon tea to sit and relax with.
