A cup of Sencha Uji.

I finished two teas today.
Sencha Uji and Te Ji Tie Guan Yin 'Iron Goddess of Mercy'.
I would like to finish Uji Karigane Gyokuro "Asa-Giri" and Kabusecha from O-Cha.com before I try their Sencha(s): Uji Sencha Miyabi and Kagoshima Sencha Sae Midori. It would be interesting to compare them to NBTea's Sencha Uji.
I am sure now, that I am not going to re-order Gyokuro or Kabusecha from O-Cha.com. They are probably too good for my amateurish palate. I don't want to waste any more of their good quality teas
I am curious how their Sencha(s) and Genmaicha stand against locally acquired teas.

By the way. I received a parcel from Chah Online Tea with Green Pu-Erh. The Direct kept his word. I am on the hunt for another local supplier

I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.

Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.

Good morning, everyone! Happy Sunday! It just struck me... this is the first Internet group where I haven't seen anyone speak of going to church or attending church functions... Interesting... I know we have a good representation of all the various religions here...

Anyway, so much for early morning musings... A good mug of tea is sitting in front of me. It's Bigalow's English Breakfast tea, using a double amount of tea as y mug is big. This tea can really hold its head up among the heavy hitters of the black tea line up!

Beautiful area for hiking, VydorScope! I spent a couple of days walking around there and even fishing in Abbot Lake, as a 'rest stop' when hiking the Appalachian Trail some years ago... (Some? About a lifetime ago! )

Went to Chris's parents to deliver a laptop to his mom and get her set up with calibre. Then went out to an early dinner with a friend who lives in that area - very fun, we don't see enough of Jen.
Drove home through rainstorms, but as Chris said, "Meh, it's just rain". Must not have gotten too bad, I napped part of the way home.

I will be teaching at a SBC church in the morning, but the rules state do not talk about religion so I try to honor them.

Rules? There are rules?

In any event, I would assume they would mean not to 'debate' religion in the general threads, as there is a special location for that sort of thing. I doubt mentioning 'attending' church/mosque/synagogue/Stone Circle, etc. would cause any problems. MOD's... if I'm wrong, please correct me.

It's wonderful to be able to spend time in nature with one's family. Walking along a mountain trail with my son makes for some very nice memories. I wish he'd get small again so I could teach him about the pixies and fairies who live in the mountain grottoes and glades... Older kids refuse to believe in them.

oooohhhhh...... I want one so bad...

Having a coffee before my sunday hike behind the house in the Sierra de Mijas. It is funny that hiking should be mentionned ... superman goes every second day for a short hike, on sunday we try to

Nogo together either the 4 of us, and it is then a long, long one or just the two of us if we have a grandparent babysitting, and then we cover the same distance in a lot less time .

Gearing up for school starting tomorrow. Happy to get back into a rythm, but kind of sad because days where we are all 4 together are really nice, even when they are getting a bit on our nerves. They grow so quickly ....
No church. Superman is allergic
