What is in your cup? - Page 736

Earl Grey...sadly, not a "proper cup", but a tea bag & powdered creamer.

What a great idea for a personal travel remembrance book. desertblues, I love reading your very detailed/descriptive postings on your travels. Your words create a picture for us to imagine what the country and its people you meet are like. Thank you.

Making earl grey tea for the trip into work.

Green, green, it's green , they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still

I don't care when the sun goes down
Where I lay my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road
It's there I'm gonna lay my head

Desertblues' travel journal makes me long for the road! What wonderful adventure! I have this mental image of a tribal leader, turban, scimitar, and desert boots, riding a prancing white Arabian stallion (and perhaps looking a bit like Sean Connery) kidnapping her (but only to share a dinner in his tent in the oasis) then returning her to the hotel by dawn... Was it a dream?

Good morning, everyone! Having my first mug of Fortnum and Mason's Royal Blend tea with my breakfast. Boy, I wish I always had access to this tea. It really is wonderful!

A bit of sun and clouds today, 20°c (about 70°F) so a good day to wash and wax the bike. A few other chores to do, but mostly, a nice day to read a book under a tree in the park!

Well, AFTER you have the party for 120 people you can assemble your book. I love reading your descriptions, and I'm so glad you are having a good time! We do miss you here on the days you can't post, though.

Thanks all, als Dreams ( me quoting you got lost somewhere). Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it all.

Stichawl: Of course that isn't a dream. You are dashing in your posts and that
counts as being a real Omar Sharif.

Kk: I admire you always for being so fierce and feisty. I feel I coulnd't do all you have been doing. But when I travel, I feel like a discoverer and open my mind wide for all new things.
I feel a bit fierce and feisty then.

Betty, my dear, i just love seeing your avatar from this far away country and listen to your kind words.

And I feel a tear in my eye sometimes, for the fate of Bambi and Tim. I enjoy my life and travel and they are going through rough times... You are very real people to me.

In my cup: Ahmad tea. Breakfast is flat bread, egg and soft feta-cheese.

Now,I feel somehow totally inadequate.

I am having simply plain water, which has been filtered to take out

the fluoride.

Totally beige, that's me.

What do I know? I'm a guy. I still dream of Jeanie. (TV Jeanie, that is.)

Afternoon tea is steeping as I type... Fortnum & Mason's Ceylon tea!

Nohmi, the beige is just as important as the black or the white. We all need to know the balance point.
