Keemun Xian Zhen, second steeping. This is easily the best Keemun I've had. A shame it is so expensive. But a lovely treat. With a piece of carrot birthday cake.

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thatâ€™s turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Good morning, everyone! What a great concept; 'windmills of your mind.' Who thinks these things up?!? Today is the day for more of my new 'English Breakfast' tea. I'm really glad that I discovered this tea shop. Nice to have a tea that I really love so accessible. Raining gently outside and I've been putting off going down to see the Food Lady, but I think it's going to stop in a few minutes. Regardless, an umbrella seems to work pretty well if needed. Good thing too, cuz I'm getting hungry and I'm too lazy to cook breakfast myself!

A lunchtime Coke Zero, while I read MobileRead.

Breakfast fresh squeezed OJ, followed by some Russian Caravan from Murchie's. Gray, today.

Mug o' tea #1 prior to bringing the bulky comforter to the laundromat. The weather has cooled enough that it's reasonable to think we might, some night, need it on the bed. And it's bulky enough that it won't fit in a home washing machine.

CRussel · 09-06-2013, 05:46 PM

Chilled water while I twiddle my thumbs waiting for my eyes to dilate.

Tea #4.

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubador is acting on his part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love. there is love.

A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and til the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is love. there is love.

After 25 years together, some friends of mine will get married this afternoon, and have asked me to play this at the ceremony. A happy chore!

Good morning, everyone! The seventh day of the ninth month of the rest of our lives. A good day to do what ever we'd like! And so I'm drinking Taylors of Harrogate's "English Breakfast" tea, eating a veggie omelet and a bowl of Khao Soi, and changing the strings on my guitar. I hope the weather cooperates for this afternoon's affair. Should be a lot of fun. Good food, a lot of good musicians jamming, good karma... I like weddings. I guess that's why I've had so many...

Finishing the last of my sweet tea after a couple of bottles of water. It was hot today and still 80F tonight. It won't be below 100F until about Wednesday.

I really want my evening coffee, but I think I will hold off on that for a while.

pdurrant · 09-07-2013, 02:48 AM

A Coke Zero after breakfast. Some might think it's a bit early in the day, but not me.

Perfectly normal ... in the state of Georgia.

It's true - I know a few people here who drink Coke as their breakfast drink. Not me. When my coffeemaker died the other morning, I almost panicked!
