Thinking back, I would guess I was in my early 30's. Perhaps 30,31 or 32. I always liked tea, ever since childhood, but until that time only drank it on occasion, except when backpacking, when it was my primary beverage. But somewhere around that time, someone introduced me to Twinings Prince of Wales. As Robert Frost said; 'And that made all the difference.'
I no longer ritualize my tea making/drinking. I'm not a connoisseur drinking only out of 6oz. white china cups that have been pre-heated. I guzzle the stuff. About a gallon a day. But these days I only guzzle the good stuff!
Thanks. Very interesting

I have googled for Prince of Wales and decided to give the tea a second chance.

Enjoy your bike ride! When will you finish the excel project?
It was only 1 or 2 C, but this cold eastern wind, brrrr, very cold on the bike, along the canal.
I saw only one ship gliding across the water, laden with white sand, I think. Not many people about; some tiny shivering little dogs on a lead; hurrying home.

I have to describe every poster I inventarised at the Municipal Archives. I finished 300 out of 2700.(but a total of 10.000 to be done in all). Should be ready by next month. I like the work, but the excel has to be converted to another standard and that that takes a lot of time.

In my cup: white wine. It is the weekend after all.

A cup of Dragonwell.

I really like this Chinese green tea.
It looks fantastic in the tea glass too. Very light yellowish colour but so clear!

My mother cut all my hair off into what was then called a "pixie" cut when I was in fourth grade. It was truly awful. And I was skinny, then, I can only imagine the horror if I tried it now. I definitely do not have the right face for short hair. Sexy or not, mine is staying long (Chris prefers it long, too, so lucky me )

Aha; did you start the birthday with Champaigne as well? And is it your own?

That's what we do these last few years.....at birthdays, Eastern, Christmas and also the last time we had a really huge tax-refund.
