Cup #1 For the day.

Mocha Via Instant Coffee *gasp*

Today's the day I write a new chapter in my novel, therefore I wanted coffee. Not Dr. Pepper.

(It was a teaching hospital and there were dozens of them! During the day I couldn't get any reading done because of all the giggling young nurses coming into my room to 'practice Engrish!')

Welcome back, saddle sore or not

I agree. I also thought the acting was dire (even my 15 daughter thought so), and I'm beginning to wonder if the new series is going to be worth the investment of my time.

A bottle of Crabbies in my hand.

I can recommend Downton Abbey, for those having access to british TV. Brilliant , but obviously not so zomby/vampiry as some may like it

......Although I will admit, give me Edward Cullen any time (not scary, but very yummy indeed

).

Ok, have to go, S is showing me his fangs

He is the opposite to Aragon.

Apparently, he is of many talents

Cuppa #7
Sencha Uji (NBTea).

I like it. It is different from Sencha I received from Japan.
I think o-cha has got 15-20 types of Sencha. I will have to read decription and see whether they have any less grassy than very grassy.
It is the Sencha I raved about one year ago.

P.S.

Senior moment.
Aragon belongs to someone else

"I secretly hope that S will get us some tickets for my next big 0, but I am not sure this will happen (and it is still a long time away)."

What is it? Por favor.
Keep in mind that according to my biorhythms I am simultaneously on an Emotional bottom and a Physical bottom. And I was on a long Intellectual bottom till last Friday

Taiwanese Tie Guan Yin (roasted variety). We leave gorwn ups to their adult games and slink away to bed with a book.

Hard at work on an overdue project. Deadline was Friday. :-( BAD, BAD. But with any luck at all I'll have it done by EOD today. But it's going to take a fair amount of tea. Green, in this case.

2nd cup (and second steeping) of Dragon Well. This continues to be my favourite green tea.

This is a sacrilege to good tea, I'm not properly appreciating it. But none the less, Golden Dragon Oolong in my cup. But, sadly, *Editors and their deadlines are relentless*. (c)

We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band
On the right side of temperance we do take our stand
We don't use tobacco, because we do think
The people who use it are likely to drink

Away, away with rum by gum, with rum by gum, with rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the temperance union

We never eat fruit cake because it has rum
And one little taste turns a man to a bum
Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight
Than a man eating fruit cake until he gets tight

We never eat cookies because they have yeast
And one little bite turns a man to a beast
Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face

Good morning, everyone! Happy Tuesday! Steaming mug of high mountain Uva to go along with my rice and miso soup today! Cloudy skies... I wonder if it's going to rain?

Just as the mood strikes me. I won't say that about tea though... Even the thought of going without good tea is frightening!

Oh, what a terribly accurate statement. Especially the ones who say "I need that article and photo yesterday. I probably won't tell you where and what to shoot for another few days, but I really need the finished copy 6 hours ago." As my frequent sudden disappearances from here can attest, I get this often from my editors!
