Well I'm off in a minute too, to collect my daughter from her after show party (she's been in a local theatre production all week - thank gawd tonight is the last night, as I'm shattered from staying up late for so many nights in a row).

Then I'll go to bed to read, with a glass of filtered water .

I slept a bit this morning. The rain has stopped and it's 29 degrees. Summer...

Homework's good. At least if you don't sleep, you are expanding your mind.

for me, a less-than-3-hour nap isn't a nap

and I had 2nd thought about that "homework solution". it's summer holiday for students here, the homework I talked about is from French class (duh..). it's due on next Tuesday. come on, I have fully 3 days left

My father used to complain how tired and sleepy he was, waiting for me to come home at night, and when he finally got to bed, the crisis was over and he was wide awake and had to watch Premier league

@ Astra: nothing serious happened, that's what mattered. Don't forget again, you and your BH

It is getting colder and colder over here.

Well I'm beginning to know how he feels. I picked her up at about 1:30am, then read until about 2:30am. I then had to get up at 8:00am because said daughter has a drama exam at 10am this morning (on a Sunday ).

Maybe I'll try out your nap idea later...

She must adore you.


Somehow I managed to convince myself that I might enjoy a cup of Assam even though it is freezing outside.

First too hot, and then a little too cold

It's 10AM over here and I've already:
- run 45 minutes
- shaved my legs
- vacuumed and washed the floors
- baked bread
- did all my laundry

I woke up at 7AM, couldn't sleep anymore and decided to do something useful Now I just need to iron the laundry, and then I can relax with a good book and lots of tea for the rest of that day! But first: a vanilla latte macchiato

Sounds like a fantastic morning

What bread do you bake?
Do you bake rye bread?



I am having Polish cottage cheese and M&S palmiers will be next

Well I am impressed! I may be up, but apart from making tea and coffee, I've done almost nothing else...apart from have a massive row with daughter as she is refusing to go to her drama exam, despite us all getting up early specially .

Coffee #1.

No, today I made bread with various seeds. I sometimes make waldkorn bread, which is very dark.

So she missed her exam? That's really a shame, even more so because you had to get up early after a late night! Sounds like drama alright

In my cup: Aloë vera tea

This is more faire de menage as I did in the last six month

Wanna marry me?

@ guys
Had only I known you were awake! I was tossing and turning most of the night. Fell asleep reading at 1am, woke up at 2.30 and was reading till 5am, back to sleep for another two hours until my Mama called

@astra
Nothing happened, thats what counts!!!
for the you-know-what!!

The more I experiment with that Pu-erh, the more I like it. Made obviously everything wrong at my first try. Steeped too long, didn't wash the tea.

I guess when I finished reading about it, I will buy some cakes to store away, kind of tea cellar/collection instead of a wine cellar. Found an ebay seller from Shanghai that sells over 900 Pu-erhs

But knowing me, I will end up buying those in the fancy looking papers instead those that promise to be good

oh, it is damn cold here 15°C, brrrr
