Slow down, you move too fast;
You got to make the morning last;
Just kickin' down the cobblestones,
Lookin' for fun, and feelin' groovy.
Hello, lamppost, whatcha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?
Dootin'-doo-doo-doo, feelin' groovy.
Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.
Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep;
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep;
Let the mornin' time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you, all is groovy.

What a delightful morning!
Good day everyone! Happy Monday! Sunny and a hint of cool in the air... no enough to get cocky about, but the summer's heat is definitly going to end! Good tea this morning! A big mug of East India Company's 'Assam' tea to go along with my bowl of rice and crab meat! No balance to this breakie but sure tastes good!

This is a VERY common style of service in peninsular Malaysia and Indonesia. If you visit 'bus station' type restaurants and Rest Stops, places that prepare ahead, you'll see stacks of trays with
glasses filled half way with Carnation sweetened condensed milk. When a bus-load stops by and everyone needs to get served quickly, the servers just pour in coffee or tea into these glasses, depending upon the order. If one wants their coffee or tea without Carnation, you have to ask for it and get looked at as if you have two heads!

What kind of tea? Most tea served in England is one of a variety of commercially blended black teas, almost always now in tea bags.

Now I understand why you drink Coke Zero!

I am surprised. I think it is as good as Emperors Yunnan - The East India Company (and only half price)  |
I think you are beginning to understand why I love the Chinese Black teas so much, even the lesser priced ones! They have such a pronounced flavor, usually a very robust tea that can easily stand on its own.
