Actually, I also have some clothes to go through for Goodwill, you just reminded me.

I have a bunch of PDFs to go through, perhaps my iPad will make reading and marking them up 'fun'... or at least less painful. I've had a really hard time getting my work done this past month, I've been getting these terrible headaches.

I can tell I spend far too much time here when I actually know what this question means!

No, I'm doomed as well.

I hope your headaches will get better. Eyes?
And all alone as well. Pamper yourself a bit with a good book, cookies and a new exotic tea. Take care.

Cold Arabica-coffee.

Finishing my second pot of Rooibso Capetown. Had a large Dr. Pepper with lunch. Starting a pot of Pu Erh Tuochas.

I wonder if the smaller individual Tuochas are made with Pu Erh that has just begun the aging process and the large touchas are made with Pu Erh that is further along in the process. The smaller Tuochas seem to have more of that strong earthy flavor that I love when the larger ones, even the Shu, tend to be more mellow.

Or perhaps it means that I spend too much time here

Actually, you could be right, I am due to get my prescription checked, perhaps I need new glasses.

The more mature Shu Pu-Erh the more mellow its flavour, less earthy. That is what I have been told in tea room of Tea House Emporium.



A cup of Fortnum and Mason's Royal Pu-Erh.

[Latinandgreek]

Green tea.

[desertblues]

Cold water

A cup of The East India Company's Keemun Downy Bud.
It will be the first Keemun from a well known brand. I am very curious

A) Up there, is more related to the cultural climate as Toronto is more or less at the same latitude of down here (where she and I reside at large, both being in different ways Canadians abroad, happily so, I am sure, and we both appreciate and enjoy the differences).

Here in bjones6416 acception means this thread, and also in Latinandgreek' reply.

Yes it is a parallel world, of people who like each other and show it, and you are one of the cornerstones of this world, even if you drink too much cold arabica coffee. not really, as just a cup lasts you for a whole day.

He got there, and just by drinking some tea, and few whiskeys.
I actually gave him the last little boost.

[Prestidigitweeze]

Yerba Maté, as I'm getting close to my last bit and won't be buying more due to recent studies linking it to throat cancer.

Pity, that. It had become my morning beverage of choice. The theophylline it contains works well for asthmatics, too.

He's got the rivers and the mountains in His hands,
He's got the oceans and the seas in His hands,
He's got you and he's got me in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

He? (Isn't that pretty sexist?)

Good morning, world! Yes, it's me and I'm alive again! Still a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but I'm functional. Good thing too because the air it already thick with Cherry blossom petals blowing off the trees, and I need to get some new photos. I have a feeling that the parks and river banks will be covered with people celebrating 'O-Hanami,' Cherry blossom viewing while picnicking under the trees. Almost all the trees on my street are Cherry, so looking down the road is like looking into a pink/white tunnel! The ground is turning pink/white from the fallen petals so it's a bit slippery under the tires, but THIS is the season all of Japan waits for. It doesn't last long, but it sure is pretty!

I'm fueling up on Keemun tea, rice, and miso soup. I've already packed my camera gear, added 5 extra packages of tissues to my pockets (my nose hasn't received the message that I'm feeling better) and I'm ready!

Not even the extra smokey! I made some chili for dinner last night and couldn't taste it at all!

You didn't wake up with a song this morning?---------- Don't you worry about it, because I have just the thing for you--------this one is a happy song, for folks with hopes, dreams and illusions, for folks that survived something.

Thanks for your rainbow! I appreciate it.

And BTW I've been thinking of you lately, as I'm about to finish The thousand autums of Jacob de Zoete from David Mitchell. I like it.

I'm not familiar with this book. What is it about, and why doesn't it make you think of me? Is it a book that I would enjoy reading too?

Yes, bu not right now...

Hello Presti! Welcome to this thread! Any friend of theophyline is a friend of mine.
(Guys, this theophyline is the stuff in chocolate that makes you feel sooooo gooood. It's a natural drug that the body releases when you are in love, making you feel sooooo gooood, which is why we crave chocolate when we are depressed!)

I'll bet 100 kibble that you love it!
East India Company + great tea
Keemun tea + great tea
--------------------------------------
= REALLY GOOD TEA!

In fact, I'm going to have my second cup of Keemun right now. It's the unbranded one from the Chinese Import shop, but it's delicious!
