Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,
And they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a’flyin’
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying
Maria
Maria
They call the wind Maria

Good morning, everyone! An ugly old woman on a bicycle just blew past my window! I think I must be in Kansas! Big storm coming..... But we're dry inside, so I can enjoy Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea, and some home-made croissants. Friday I'll start on my power walking again, and cut back on calories, back to below 900 a day (I'm shooting for 75kg this time,) so I want to get in all my goodies today and tomorrow. I'd start today but I caught a cold the other day and I don't want to stress my body until I feel better. Besides, I want my goodies.

When I lived in California I had wonderful bamboo wind chimes outside my window. In Thailand we had shell wind chimes outside our window. But here in Japan our windows face south, and as Fire is the Feng Shui attribute to that direction, we'd need to use metal wind chimes and I don't care for the sound they make. So instead, I use a computer wind chime program... God bless this modern age!

China Black is a great tea. When we can find a good purveyor, it's one of my favorites. I've been out of it for a while now. 'Fortnum & Mason' used to put out a great China Black, but it's waaaay too expensive to get it shipped here these days. I know that they sell in the shops in Thailand, so I'm content knowing that in less than two months we can be drinking it again!
Time for one more mug of Ahmad's 'English Breakfast' tea!
