Russian Caravan tea. And ordering more of it!

A cold Guinness

Stitchawl · 08-30-2013, 08:18 PM

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Good morning, everyone! Looks as if August is going to end on a good note! 7am but the sun is shining and the only clouds I see are way off on the other side of the valley and moving away. I think this will be the day to climb the mountain on the west side of town. Good exercise, and a beautiful temple complex on the top to relax (recover?) in.

Taylors of Harrogate's "Yorkshire" tea this morning. It really is a hearty brew. Maybe we'll eat an early breakfast today... Food Lady opens at 5am so she's down there already... Such decisions...

Nice song! I love the Turtles!

Sweet tea in my cup and thinking about an ice cream cone.

samhy · 08-31-2013, 05:27 AM

First mug of nicely warm coffee

Thank you for the song Stitchawl, I haven't heard it in a long time.

Stitchawl · 08-31-2013, 06:32 AM

Late afternoon mug of unbranded Keemun tea.

Great song. I also like the Frank Zappa version, woven into the story of them trying to get groupies to "perform".

Black coffee in my mug.

Black coffee in my cup. My sister and are taking four of the Chinese students hiking at a local state park today. Make that five. No, make that six. Plus the American couple that picked up some of them from the airport and helped set up apartments. :-) We are learning first hand how strong the sense of family and community is in these students. All week we've gotten messages like, "Would it be convenient if a very nice boy who is the roommate to ____ joins us?" And then, "Will R. and B. be joining us? Hopefully they can make it!"

Lol. We're going to be quite the party. I'm most excited about the pleasure that I know at least one of the girls will get from the unspoiled wilderness area. Even downtown she keeps posting pictures with the caption, "Where are all the people?"

CRussel · 08-31-2013, 01:27 PM

No tea this morning.

But I'll try to make a pot of Lion Mountain Keemun when I get back from the Farmer's Market.

Just tried some Arrogant Bastard Ale, an American strong ale - very strong & very hoppy & very bitter. Definitely an acquired taste, hence their motto: "Hated by many. Loved by few. You're not worthy."

Think I need a nap now ....

Tea #3 brewing on the kitchen counter.

CRussel · 08-31-2013, 07:32 PM

Definitely a very hoppy ale, and not for the faint of heart.

Drinking the last of the La Frenz Chardonnay this evening. Friends over, roasting a local organic chicken, and lots of other good stuff. May well be the last really good weekend of the year the way the rains have been.
