Don't tell me.
When we moved house 2 years ago, I packed 9 HUGE cardboard boxes (dell desktop full tower+monitor+cables, all in separate boxes could fit into one) with wife's teaching materials such as books of the same kind as 'will come in handy one day' and folders full of support materials, scheme of works and lesson plans. I know that the removers hated us. Our study was on the first floor with very narrow and small winding stairs...When we finally moved, a lot of the stuff went directly to the orange bin (recycle rubbish bin in our county) under my impartial supervision

I learn. I think I prefer Chinese, mostly. Sometimes I want Sencha but not the grassy type. The first one that I tried I loved and it was not grassy at all. Those two from O-Chah are different. I am sure they are of higher quality but I prefer different flavour.
I am looking forward to tasting one grassy and the one that I loved, not grassy, side by side next weekend.

Keemun in the afternoon or evening. When I want to relax and read a bit.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are black tea paradise for me
Since, I am not friend of Zumba, so today in the morning I started with 2 cups of Assam, a new one for me and the last of the single estate Assam I purchased in Fortnum and Mason in February (Assam Numalighur TGFOP1 Second Flush). As usual, superb Assam. The third one was the first cup of Keemun of the same brand. Then a very good Yunnan Black Golden Tips from Chah Online Tea. I left some windows open and had a cold shower in the morning. As a result, I was still cold. As a result I had Lapsang Souchong. When she came home she asked me whether I burned something


A cup of Bojenmi. Well, Bojenmi was in the cup . It is empty now
Gotta refill it.
Some blue tea will do, or Keemun?
