Find a ring, ( find a ring . . . ) and put it round, round, round,
And with ties so strong the two hearts are bound,
Put it on, ( put it on . . . ) the one you found, found, found,
For you kno’ that this is really love! ( . . . this is really love! )
Good Sunday, everyone! Now that Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been seen, we've all given our weekly thanks for being and requests of forgiveness , to whom so ever it is that we should be thanking, and can get back to the business of lying, stealing, cheating, and generally being humans in preparation for next week's days of atonement. Cycles. Ya gotta love 'em. Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
Drinking Taylors of Harrogate's English Breakfast tea with my rice and miso soup, and getting myself psyched up for a horrible day dealing with car sales men. It is NOT my preferred choice of activities!

Astra, even when it cools down, there isn't very much taste to it. Just enough to cover the bleakness of boiled water.

I drank a lot of this when we lived in Thailand, but never developed a great liking for it. It always reminded me of monkeys and weasels for some reason...

How does that measure up?
Coincidence? I was just looking at a rack of them at the local home center yesterday! Not as sophisticated as the one in your image, but there must have been 10-15 different sizes and shapes, from single cup to large tea pot. Basket, clam-shell, dipper, etc. I almost picked one up, but then realized that I'm waaaaay too lazy these days. The thought of having one more thing to wash up after using stayed my hand. I'll stick with the silken paper bags. The Tea-pot size are large enough to let the leaves expand, and then I can just throw them away afterwords.
And now another mug of English Breakfast tea... just to put off having to talk to car salesmen....
