What is in your cup? - Page 1727

Stitchawl · 08-15-2013, 10:01 AM

This is the stuff we use now. Pleasant smell, not oily, convenient roll-on, and effective. I realized as I was looking for this picture that when we lived here the last time we had to keep electric mosquito repellers going 24/7 in every room. Plug-in units that have either little saturated mats or bottles of liquid that get warmed, releasing God only knows what into the air, but it kept away all the flying critters.

Almost time for a Lime Slushie, with just a wee touch of tequila in it, and a movie. Tonight, in honor of the tequila, we'll watch 'Get the Gringo.'

This sounds like an excellent idea. My cup, sadly is empty right now. I must remedy that.

Had a mug full of water, now back to Frozen Summit Oolong

Yes it was good (back home now, sipping on a lemonade drink), and the walk seems to have done my leg pains good - now down to a tingling/pins-and-needles throb

Only on alternate Thursdays. Just so happens today is one of them, so I'm sitting here posting with my face covered in camouflage paint. Can't be too careful...

Cranky today. Didn't get much sleep last night and it's rainy today. But tomorrow we have tickets to the Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival, so that to look forward to. But today, just struggle through. Fresh squeezed orange juice and Peet's Lion Mountain Keemun should help.

ProfCrash · 08-15-2013, 12:40 PM

Hope your day gets better!

Cherry Coke with my lunch

dreams · 08-15-2013, 04:02 PM

I know your day will get better Charlie. Just keep thinking about the great day to come at the Chamber Music Festival.

Coffee in my cup and a glass of sweet tea.

CRussel · 08-15-2013, 05:45 PM

Thanks. Better, but still a bit on the grumpy side. I'm going to give up on the computer, and go downstairs, sit in my Comfy Chair, with a dog on my lap, a mug of Keemun Xian Zhen, a couple of TimTams and a good book. That should do it.

cromag · 08-15-2013, 06:43 PM

Just what the doctor ordered!

Thanks for the mention of Lemon Eucalyptus! I have a trip to backwoods northern Wisconsin coming up, so I'll get a bottle and try it out. Unless I'm lucky enough to find that the mosquitoes are all gone by mid September.

Only a couple of TimTams? When chocolate is involved nothing but the whole bag will do.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Are you going to be on a long trip? Backpacking? Camping?

Sweet tea in my cup.

Stitchawl · 08-16-2013, 03:57 AM

I missed this morning due to technical difficulties; the hot water pot decided not to work. I actually had to boil water on the hob!

Oh, the horrors of reverting to Cave-dweller living! I disassembled the water pot while drinking my morning tea (unbranded Keemun, of course. If I have to rough it, I'll do it in comfort!) and found the problem, fixed it, and we are happy campers once again.

And so... now drinking an afternoon mug of Taylors of Harrogate's "Yorkshire tea! Nice brew!

Good afternoon Stitchawl (early morning/late night for me). I'm glad you didn't have to "rough it" for long and were able to get your hot water pot fixed.

M&M's in my bowl and a fresh cup of coffee in my cup.

VydorScope · 08-16-2013, 06:27 AM

Faux Mocha in my travel mug!

ProfCrash · 08-16-2013, 06:58 AM

Yellow Tea in my cup. Can't wait for the weekend. We have some hikes planned with the DB. I might even get to sleep in past 8 on Sunday.
