Too true!

Finished the evening off with some Lagavulin. Just sitting here, sipping it now, and going to read for a bit, then hit the sack.

An afternoon with Yorkshire tea!

Even the thought of going without good tea is frightening!

I have been thinking about it lately.
Going without alcohol - I would not even notice.
Going without food for 3 days was not difficult.
On the other hand, giving up on tea...

I shudder at the notion.

I am not so sure I like the word "mature" that much. Plus, I don't see where we have been excluding you guys... but on the other side, it was indeed not appropriate for this thread, so I am sorry (I was just being mischievous me again

), and let's not talk about that anymore.
Grandma me is having a cup of pomelo juice, but I should probably stop, it's acidity is giving me stomach ache (with my antique age one has to be more careful with food and drinks

).

The kids have just left for a 5 days Med-Cruise with their grandparents, S and I will spend the days working at the new house and the evening going out, at least that's the plan ! Not sure this is going to happen, he has a cold and I am missing our garden dwarfs already...

Rooibos Capetown cup two. Tea bags prepared for the days meetings. Getting dressed in something less dressy, hey its Hawaii. I looked weird in suit amongst all the folks in Hawaiian shirts. Water bottle ready to go.

Hawaii is the only place where I am fully functional at 8 AM meetings. That is probably because it feels like 2 PM to me.

GeoffC · 10-25-2011, 12:43 PM

Hot Ginger Drink ....

beppe · 10-25-2011, 12:50 PM

white rum, with orange juice and a slice of lime. Ice cubes. It's raining and dump outside, but the fire is going, dinner is cooking by itself, the work day is over, Little girl is napping after a long day in school, BigGirl will be home soon, ... and why not?

Dinner?
The girls will have fried rolled up sausage and sweet peas. Me, I steamed a bag of frozen cutting of cauliflower and cabbage that was laying around in the home freezer. Steamed a carrot and an onion and blended it all. Then I defreezed a load of pinto beans. I will have some of the cabbage purée as the sauce of some of the beans. I will finish it with fish sauce and cumin. Maybe I will fry some sage and slices of old bread, just to make it more comfortable.
