Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

Good morning, each and every. Sunshine today with a mug of Golden Assam T.F.G.O.P.1 Sort of makes sunshine inside and out!

Would this mean that deVinci's painting should be called 'The Last Dinner.'
I always knew it as 'The Last Supper' which I never thought correct either.
It really should have been "The Last Seder" if we want to be accurate.

This was how I grew up too. With sometimes a Sunday late afternoon 'Dinner' if the whole family was gathering.
Of course, Sunday night's meal was always at the local Chinese restaurant.

Many tea shops serve High Tea as tea with small pastries. Personally, I used to enjoy what we called 'High Tea' when I lived in the commune back in the 60's, but that was very different indeed.
We tried the High Tea at the 'Raffles Hotel' in Singapore the first time we visited, just to experience what we 'thought' was going to be an elegant experience. Turned out to be just an expensive experience of bad tea served with cookies on the lawn... so much for tradition!
