What is in your cup? - Page 1204

Not one I know, but I would expect from the brand that it's somewhere in the upper half of the range, certainly. Not Taylor Fladgate 1990, but hardly "Christian Brothers Tawny Port" either.

(Actually, such a wine once existed, but the label is long gone from the world. And not regretted, I might add.)

There's a reason for the sun shiny sky
And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high
Must be the season
When that love light shines all around us
So let that feelin' grab you deep inside
And send you reelin' where your love can't hide
And then go stealin'
Through the summer nights with your lover

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean, it's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine
And you'll know what I mean, that's the reason

Good morning, all! What a beautiful day!!! Friday... the sun is shinning, the air is crisp and cold, and I'm ready to ride! A big mug of Ahmad "English Breakfast" tea along side a bowl of muesli with yogurt and raspberries to give me energy, and my wife getting ready to ride behind me on what might just be our last ride of the season through the higher mountains around Kyoto. The ground is getting colder and with snow sprinkling every few days the higher passes are getting too dangerous for a motorcycle. But today is fine and we are off to see the Wizard!

... and so went the day. Magnificent! Now a mug of Taylors of Harrogate's "Yorkshire" tea and some shortbread cookies we found along the way! All days should be like this one!

That sounds like a fun day. I must buckle down to some programming work.

Coke Zero #1 in my cup

bjones6416 · 01-06-2012, 07:40 AM

Black coffee. I never made it out the door for my walk yesterday, but I'm hoping to do it today. I'm getting pretty tired of the how dark it is in the mornings, though. Spring is just around the corner, right?

ProfCrash · 01-06-2012, 08:48 AM

Here is hoping. It has been a pretty mild winter so far, thank goodness.

I have to remember no fluids after 8 PM. Last night was the best sleep I had all week. Cooper was restless though. The Hubby reported that he moved from his bed to the hall, to the blanket in the hall, to next to me on the floor. When I got up for my early morning natures call, I heard him moving about. Ten minutes later I heard him trying to get comfortable on his bed. The Hubby made some comment about he had screwed up his blankets on the bed so I went to fix them. Turns out Cooper had booted Caya from her bed. Caya spent the next two hours keeping my feet warm on the bed while Cooper finally settled down in her bed.

It was kind of cozy but I know we cannot make a habit of it. That would be bad.

Wait until you add a baby into the mix!

Having a nice evening with a glass of tequila, a bag of tortilla chips, and watching 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' for the umpteenth time.

And the baby is why it would be bad. That and I don't want either of the dogs sleeping on the bed with us. They are cute and it is nice from time to time but they have their own beds for a reason. Cooper was having a weird night so I made an exception.

Rooibos Cream Caramel in my cup. I love Friday. We have two days off to look forward to and it is bagel day. Life is good.

pdurrant · 01-06-2012, 10:52 AM

Sparkling Lemon and Lime with zero added sugar.

I'm limiting my caffein intake after lunchtime.

That sounds lovely. A good way to spend the evening.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting up in bed with my SAD light on, two dogs, a cat, and a sweetie keeping me warm, and catching up with email and the forums. Naught but water in my cup.

aceflor · 01-06-2012, 03:04 PM

OJ, to take with an aspirin for my headache, another tablet for muscle pain, and the third one for muscle/nerve inflammation. Had a rotten night because it was very windy and I was tossing and turning, today was an incredible day with 25°C in the shade (!! I know!!), but I could not make the best of it because the night was so bad and had a huge headache on top of pain in my right leg.
I feel horrible, but can't even say why exactly, cause I don't know. I am not a whiner, and I hate it when I am like this.... I just feel like an old rag !

pdurrant · 01-06-2012, 03:17 PM

Oh, commiserations. I hope the tablets do their job and make you feel better soon.

Nothing in my cup just now, but in a moment, Sparkling lemon and lime with zero added sugar.

dreams · 01-06-2012, 03:55 PM

Aw, aceflor, I hope you feel better soon.

Hazelnut coffee in my cup.

My sincere sympathies, aceflor. And I sincerely hope the pills do their job and you're back up and smiling at us.

Had my morning OJ, and my Peet's Major Dickason's. Cup is empty, it's lunch time, and I've spent the entire morning trying to get Telus to do their job. FRUSTRATED. However, I think I've finally worked around THEIR stupid software to get functional. I hope so, I've lost a day and a half already.

Going to go brew some nice, soothing, oolong. Probably Ti Kwan Yin.

Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash away my sorrows, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala

Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road to Shambala
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind
On the road to Shambala

How does your light shine
In the halls of Shambala
How does your light shine
In the halls of Shambala

Good morning, all! Another bright and sunny Saturday morning in the Land of the Rising Sun! I used the delay timer on my new toy so we have fresh warm French bread for breakfast today. Last night I made some fresh butter too. My wife had never done that before and wanted to see how it was done. I think there is still some Danish cream cheese left in the fridge so that will go on too... And to top it all off... A great big mug of Jackons of Piccadilly's "English Breakfast" tea that I scored in a small shop last night! All is good in our world!
