Prof. Crash: thanks for the pics and description. I learn so much about tea from you and Astra, that I can keep up with many a conversation about tea.

And that for a non-tea-drinker.....

In my cup: a lot of white wine; about a lemonade-sized-glass.
I am exhausted after walking for three days in Paris from North to South and East to West. Beautiful weather, lots of nice wine-tasting, lovely food.
Only drawback: no musea for me. I'll be going alone to Paris in september, just for the musea, which I love and where I'll stay from opening hours untill I'm kicked out.

Sounds like a wonderful way to unwind from a great trip.

the first time I went I was there for 10 days (in April!

). in the mornings I would go do all of the walking around stuff, and then in the afternoons the rains would start and I would jump on the Metro and head for the Louvre. it was a really relaxing way to experience the Louvre

Earl grey tea, I've had enough caffeine

Welcome back -- although I know you were secretly checking on us, right?

I got up at 5:30 am, walked to a park to play badminton with a friend. It was so windy that playing became a torture of picking up the birdie - and we stopped to jog, there is a lake in the park and we soon stopped again since I couldn't stand jogging carrying 2 rackets. Sure they aren't heavy but carrying anything wasn't comfortable if you considered jogging for some kilometers, right?

so, we went home at 8, hadn't even sweated. there's a bread and cake shop on the way home, named Paris Gâteaux and the smell of fresh bread was tempting

so... I came in. Gee they had the best cake and bread I've ever seen in, say, half a year. the problem was that I was supposed to play badminton in the park so there was about $2 with me +_+

therefore, I went home and ate instant noodles

and so, I'm having caramel coffee bought at Paris Gâteaux.

(I'll lure someone to take me there, heheh

)

So I lost my bet. But I think I got the general picture.

A cup of Taylors of Harrogate's Tea Room Blend.

I think I have given up drinking tea bags with my breakfast. It is now 3 or 4 weekdays morning I drink Ahmad's English Breakfast and I enjoy it!
Only one cup with tea bag is left in my daily life. Lunch

Iridal · 04-11-2011, 05:29 AM

I'm tired ... And I can't drink coffee because I've been having too much stomach aches lately

So I'll settle for a cup of Turkish Apple tea ...

Stitchawl · 04-11-2011, 05:30 AM

Good afternoon, everyone! I didn't wake up with a song in my head today, so it's a no-music message. Only good tea and a lovely view out my windows...

The cherry trees are just about in full bloom, and many of them have even started dropping their blossoms. I've stayed inside today, but I must go out tomorrow and get some pictures, even if I sneeze my way from one tree to another.

I now believe that I will actually survive this illness. It amazes me, but I have to confess to feeling better today. I know I've only gone through 1/4 box of tissues instead of two boxes, so I guess it's so. I've been drinking lots of tea, but of course I really can't taste it. It's just the heat and the color that have been consoling me.

Even Lapsang cannot get through?
Get well soon.

Brunch for me so white yogurt with a few snacks.

astra · 04-11-2011, 06:57 AM

Water in a flask.

Iridal · 04-11-2011, 07:15 AM

A long lunch in the sun has recharged my batteries a bit, I'm now starting the second 0.75L bottle of water of the day.
