Crazy astra. I do not want to receive emails notifications. I have already an hard time keeping track of my real life mails. Imagine being informed that somebody posted something about something else.

[maianhvk]

good morning! have you waked up? I think you haven't, so in the meantime I'm getting my breakfast now.

and still, plain yoghurt.

[ProfCrash]

I woke up 14 hours ago. (winks)

Finished an interesting Cider. It had maple syrup and brown sugar in it.

[Stitchawl]

There's a new world somewhere
They call The Promised Land
And I'll be there some day
If you will hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you

Saturday morning rains... it's making the new rice grow green!! Yes, the new rice has all been planted and the fields are looking good!



No daycare...

Good tea for breakfast... East India Company's 'Royal Breakfast' tea! Wonderful!

Makes lots of sense

While I wouldn't call myself a daily drinker, I do have a small glass of something 2-3 times a week. I'm not normally a beer drinker, and perhaps I'll have 4-5 beers a YEAR, and as I said, the only time I ever over-indulge is on my birthday. But I find watching a movie and enjoying a cold drink nice later in the evening after everything else is done.

Absotively! This is true with all of the straight teas; Assam, Darjeelings, China Blacks, Ceylons, etc. This is why so many of the 'better' teas are sold by estate locations, not just company names, and why Ceylons vary so much depending upon elevation.

I have all notifications turned off, except for private messages. I get 40-70 e-mails every day without MobilRead messages about new postings in each group. My mail filters are the only thing keeping me almost sane these days!

So far, the best Keemun.

I vote East India Company as one of the Three Best Tea Companies for straight teas!

I'm with you! We bought an integrated dryer and I don't like it at all. I wish we still had the two stacked machines. I think they did a much better job!

Time for a second mug of East India Company 'Royal Breakfast' tea!

You're an early riser, Prof Crash

It drizzles here too Stitchawl. I love rain. It cools the air, almost refreshes it, and things feel... poetic. Musical. New. Energetic.

I don't know what direction this thread is taking.

But I have milk in my cup.

Ha ha. If it rains we stop bothering cyclists and watch the rice growing green, cozily.

The idea is that if one breaks down you have to get that one fixed or dumped and not the other one. Smart eh? They sell you a gadget to keep them together, one on top of the other, with a retractable thing where you can put stuff on. Make sure that the doors open correctly with regard of one to the other.

Yes life is good. Reasons undisclosed.

It is for reasons of limited space. I have a small expensive apartment in one of the more exclusive green areas of town. When you move a bit to the south-west on the map, you'll see one of the biggest lakes in Berlin and lots of forrest. Its a ten minute bike ride to for a swim in the lake or at the Olympic stadium, which is where my Swim club is.

The houses at the border of the forrest are haunted by hoards of boars in the evenings We also have dears. It is nice here but I am not able to afford more than 55 qm. As I am single it is ok.... uhm, it were ok were I a more tidy person. I tend to gather stuff. Books, clothes and I hate those wall long closets, which makes being tidy a tad difficult

Anyway, it is NOT me being untidy, I blame it all on the cat

I didn't know one can stuck them like that.
Our washing machine has a primitive drier, it is more of squeezing out water, than actual drying. I don't know the proper feature term.
I bought a tumble dryer. It is the size of the washing machine but what a joy it is!

How do you know about new topics created on the forum then?



Good Saturday morning!
I start it with a cup of Assam Doomur Dulling that will be followed by cottage cheese with strawberries and blueberries

Uiihhh, sounds good your breakfast. I am still having some Kusmi Russing Morning blend.

I got a record player/cassette deck/radio combo by Sanyo in 1970 when I was six years old. This was as fancy as it could be back then and all my friends were green with envy. Maybe this is why I love integrated electronics

Checking them every day for new topics, by going to the forum and clicking on each subforum and wading through dozens of new and dozens of old threads would take me ages.

The following threads have been updated:
************
I don't care about this bit because anything worth of my attention has been read before and subscribed if needed.

I never look down below the line The following threads have been updated:, only the top part.
I am presented with a very concise update in my opinion. If I am interested in a topic or two I click on the links, then delete the email. No need to go to the forum and look for General Discussions subforum then wade through many topics there.
Maybe if you are fast reader it is not an issue, but I am terribly slow, so I cannot afford this tactic.
Receiving 8 compact emails don't clog my inbox



As result, the rest of the forum is complete ignored.

Russian Morning N°24 is a clever combination between three original teas:
- black China tea with a fine aroma,
- black Ceylon tea, which fine and twisted leaves give a round and chocolate-like flavour,
- black India tea that gives a strong and powerful taste.
This blend made from three original teas delivers a balanced and ideally strong-bodied tea for breakfast.

Sounds like a good blend

The East India Company's Keemun now with two palmiers

I got two responses. I am not going to point a finger for the sake of privacy

I vote for senile. Then we can forget all our troubles!

I am at loss now, which one to choose for myself

I love going out for a run after it has rained. The air feels so much cleaner then. Like there's more oxygen in the air? That's probably not possible, but it certainly feels that way

I don't have a dryer, even though I have room for one. Drying clothes in a dryer is expensive! I have a drying rack that works just fine But like Astra I have a way of squeezing out some more water when my washing machine is done. I think it's called spin-dry?

Well, it seems like right now we're talking about washing machines This thread is the best on MR in my opinion.

In my cup: Rooibos Orange Lemon Lime
