Although, my DH has decided to start tonight. Instead of going to high impact aerobic class and let me to trudge my mile, she cancelled all plans and seduced me to a local sizzler starting with a shot of single malt before locking the door

Anyway, I need Pu-Erh to rinse my insides after bloody steak.

If I were planning to do my mile, I was not supposed to give in to any temptation but be a man of a word and stick to the plan

This one is easy

Red wine is like a soporific for me. Falling asleep is the last thing I want to do in the next 2-3 hours, so it is easy peasy to avoid

Why? What are you expecting to do in the next 2-3 hours?

Was I supposed to do anything? Anything specific?

Please, not another senior moment!

I suspect I had different plans. Probably walking was not the top priority.
I have to retire and do some meditation while having Iron Goddess of Mercy

astra · 07-19-2011, 06:05 PM

Second time Iron Goddess of Mercy but feels like a new.

Nighty night!

Fighting soldiers from the sky,
Fearless men who jump and die.
Men who mean just what they say,
The brave men of the Green Beret.

Trained to live off nature's land,
Trained to combat, hand to hand.
Men who fight by night and day,
Courage take from The Green Beret.

Good morning, troops! Chow time... plain G.I. Assam tea today, to give Anh luck with her test!

2. He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious.
3. Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
4. Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
5. Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.

Interestingly enough, this works in business and home life as well as war...

Very fresh orange juice - with oranges picked straight from the tree in my garden. The tree is only about 2 1/2 metres high, but it produces about 300 oranges every year. They are just delicious and very popular with my friends!

I forgot to post this the other day!
On our last bike ride, we traveled some new roads (for us) through the mountains south of Uji, which is also a major tea producing region, named Wazuka. It seems that this area is responsible for a lot of Kabusecha, the covered-while-growing green teas, as most of the plantations we passed had their bushes well protected.

And it's not just the large hillside tea gardens doing it. It looked as if almost every private house in the area had several rows of tea bushes growing! In front, beside, in back... just like rural vegetable gardens!

Sorry for the poor quality but I shot this with my cell phone...
