Lemonade. About to be replaced with the usual diet dr pepper.

Decaf green tea, I've got to get up early to drive my dad to a doctor's appointment, so I don't want to be up half the night.

Do NOT adjust your sets. We have taken control of them for this message.

We have arrived in the ancestral Family farmhouse in the middle of Kyushu! Days spent riding along beautiful mountain roads, a 100k winding road along the sea, and though countless small villages. We spend a few hours touring Kumamoto Castle, climbing up to the top for a magnificent 360 degree view before heading inland to the family farm. Sister-in-law lives in the house these days, with her three grown children moving in or out as their social life dictates.
But the very best thing about getting here is..... I can drink good tea again! I've already downed four 'human' sized mugs of good black tea, and plan on four more! I was able to drink black tea on the overnight ferry as they had a big hot water dispenser.

Hey! We also go upgraded on the ferry to a much fancier room. We had purchased ordinary sleeper berths but because the boat wasn't so crowded, they bumped us up to the berths complete with private TV's! I didn:t watch any, but my wife did! I just thought it was an auspicious start to our trip.

And it was. So far, great roads, and great weather. A bit of a sprinkle late this afternoon, but we were only in it for a few minutes. We're off again tomorrow, in search of the Aso Vocano.... rumble, rumble, rumble!

Now back to tea drinking!

I noticed it goes well if you got cold. Burning tyres raise false alarm (Fire! Fire! Fire!) and scare off the germs.

Sounds like National Geographic

So far, two cups of Taylors of Harrogate's Pure Ceylon and 2 white yogurts.

My co-worker actually asked if there was some wire burning in the office when I made it. I let her sniff it and said "Nope". The good news is that she is the one who told my boss to talk to me about using candles in my tea warmer. so now if she smells smoke coming from my desk she will think it is a tea.

1 pot of rooibos lemon. I'll make another pot to go.

Stitchawl: I am very, very jealous.

I got one of those Keurig single cup coffee makers for my birthday, along with a variety of 60 k-cups and a filter to use my own ground coffee.
This morning I'm having Emeril's Big Easy Bold.
