There is a wonderful piece of software called Atmosphere Deluxe that can create magnificent environmental soundscapes, all completely customizable.
Soft rain, hard rain, thunderstorm... on trees, on wooden roof, on the sea. Sounds of an English meadow, a mountain stream with or without campfire, etc... A dozen different bird songs to choose from, adjusting the number of calls per minute as well as the volume, different insect noises, different farm animals, etc., etc. You can create your soundscapes or use any of the included ones, even varying them to your own preferences! Fantastic for relaxation when trapped inside a city!
For the lazy lot Free Nature Sounds


My cup is empty at the moment but I had two cups of Assam Hattialli. I love this Assam. Enough left for the last cup of it. Then one of the following:
Assam Mohokutie TGFOP
Assam Doomur Dulling TGFOP
Assam Numalighur TGFOP1 Second Flush
Probably will taste the same and I won't notice any difference.

Also had a cup of Finest Keemun Mao Feng with breakfast

The next will be oolong. The experiment goes on!

Cuppa #6
Wu Yi Rock Tea – Big Red Robe.
Good oolong. The last cup of the sample.
I think I can officially confess (declare? proclaim? which one is better to use in this situation?) that I am Wu Yi Rock oolong fan.


Cuppa #4 was TeaSmith's Bao Zhong oolong. Superb floral flavour.
Then cuppa #5 was Tea House Emporium's Pi Lo Chun "Green Snail Spring". A very good green tea. The funny thing is that it is somewhat similar to TeaSmith's Bao Zhong oolong. They have more in common than TeaSmith's Bao Zhong and Tea House Emporium's Pouchong that are supposedly the same type of tea, when the other two are oolong (albeit green) and green teas

Our response to the Boston Tea Party!

Wait, didn't they throw all the tea into the harbour...? Now there's an uprising I could empathise with

Yeah, the MobileRead Tea Party is different - they throw tea at all the new people.

I'm about to head to kitchen for coffee #2.

Cup of Rooibos baked apple (sorry guys, no more coffee for me today ) and trying to decide what to do tomorrow: hairdresser? Ikea? shopping? Reading in the lazy chair? So many choices

Synonyms and not synonyms ... Ikea shopping is a different kind of shopping. I go to Ikea with a purpose, I usually have my shopping list with me. When I say 'shopping' I mean strolling through shops without a clear idea of what I want to buy. Could be a dress, a skirt, a pair of shoes ... Whatever catches my eye

I've decided on the hairdresser, and then I'll probably spend the rest of the day reading in the lazy chair or in the park, depending on the weather. Maybe fit in some shopping somewhere.
