A nice cup of tea! yeahhhh. Green. I saw some in a cupboard. I am not at home, but in holidays. The cupboard is full of remains by previous occupants.
DRINK MORE !
Beer, obviously

Pot one of Frozen Summit Oolong.

My co-workers love it when I call out "Pick a number between one and four" because that is how I am choosing what type of tea (Rooibos, Green, Oolong, Black, or Pu Erh) and then "Pick a number one - te" It saves me from puzzling over what tea to drink.

Wanted to write "jewish princess" instead of "eternal expat", but I am not sure people would get my sense of humor, so it is eternal princess for now, since I do not apply as expat anymore.
Life is unpredictable, Jewish Princess

A cup of Milk Oolong.

What cup is it?
I think it is cuppa #6

I received three teas today from Chah.
Green (not cooked) Pu-Erh and two Chinese green teas.
Mao Feng, Yellow Mountain Green Tea and Liu An Gua Pian (only 50gr each to try them)
Numbers 4 and 8 from Famous Chinese Teas list.
Never tried these green teas. I did try this green Pu-Erh and liked it.


Mmm...milk oolong is goooooooooood!

What is it ? Obviously tea, but what does it taste like ?
You are going to lapidate me for that, but I like my earl grey with milk......

Always, unless I'm putting on hand cream (as Prof Crash said) or I have to take them off for x-rays on my hands or my hands are swollen for some reason. I usually even wear mine in the shower.
Chris takes his off for showering but wears it 24/7 otherwise.

Well, No. A person never belongs to another person, so no chains (and believe me, it took me 20 difficult and emotional years to get there )

I think he finds the idea of wearing "a necklace" ridiculous. The only jewelry he wears is the wedding ring, no watch, no bracelet, nada.
Not even a piercing, how dull

I lost mine once doing the dishes, but thank god we found it again.
Morality : princesses should never do the dishes.

Yes beer is good but makes me burp, plus other things. I also like my stomach flat. Leffe, that's what we have in the fridge. The French sell it in small 25 cc bottles. Very convenient, what they call a Demi.

For dinner we had an apero of white rum colonial with orange juice, plus few glasses from a new box of Chardonnay. Not my wine, but not bad. I will not buy it again. I prefer Sauvignon. I made a salad, with lettuce and these gorgeous French tomatoes, there was some lox, some white ham in persil, a bit of cheese. Summer.

To day was so hot. 30 and the water 27. It's mid summer. Late mid summer. Mmm ... Nights are sweet, here on the French Riviera. What to do now. Wait for Daughter to finish her charge, drink a lemoncello. Chat a bit on the porch under a huge umbrella pine. The mood looks good.

The coffee just arrived. Daughter is not slowing down yet, though.
