Well, I left my happy home
to see what I could find out.
I left my folk and friends
with the aim to clear my mind out.

Well I hit the rowdy road
and many kinds I met there,
many stories told me
of the way to get there, ooh.

So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there's so much left to know,
and I'm on the road to find out.

There really is so much left to know, isn't there...

Good morning, all. Storm's past and the sky's blue again. Seems to have taken some of our hot weather with it. That's good. I've been feeling the urge to wear a jacket again. Strange, huh?

As always, good East India Company's "Royal Breakfast Tea" beside me at breakfast. Peaceful morning. I like that.

I heard somewhere that Julia was a member of the old OSS during W.W.II. Funny to think of her as a CIA agent...

I too prefer the Scottish Breakfast blends without Lapsang Souchong, but I've had to find them by trial and error. Most do tend towards a smoky essences but I'm not sure it's always from LS. For me, Lapsang Souchong needs to be reserved for rainy and cold afternoons by the fireplace. If I had a fireplace. I guess perhaps Scottish mornings may tend to be rainy and cold? These days I use a video of a fireplace; sound and fury signifying nothing, but works for an idiot like me!
Do I really need more? Nah...

... just another cup of good 'Royal Breakfast Tea.'
