In Memoriam

So far I have been spared any demises among my closest family members, but I read today that few of my friends have been this lucky (or at least, so it would seem). If I were a religious woman I would pray but I suppose my support,if that would be called for, is all I have to offer now.

Be strong for the sake of those who are weak and live on with the memory of a loved one firmly fixed in your heart.

Sipping Tea

I just spend the most pleasurable hour of the day in the company of a friend and a thermos of tea on 'our' bench along a river/canal called Coupure in my favourite town but one. Life tastes good if there's Rose hip-Chewing gum tea in your flask.

Cantus

For an explanation of the title click here of here. For a detailed account of the events ask someone else. For the effects it had on my general outlook on life, think of what café latte crème iced chocolate chipped caramel fudge could do for a girl on the verge of eternal miserability and you'll get an idea. Apart from the amount of non-descriptive mixes of certain fluids being spilled over my third favourite skirt, I had a good time and of course a cantus on self brewn ice tea is IT.

Tea - part five

As I poured myself a cup of deliciously scented green tea this morning, I suddenly remembered I didn't drink any tea yesterday. Not one cup.

Love has truly rendered me mad.

Tea - part three

As a step towards buying not so much tea anymore I thought it might be a not so bad idea to consume less tea, making the purchase of aforementioned drink less necessary. Thus after drinking a pint and a half ( being one thermos) of black tea with forest berry flavouring this morning/early afternoon while reading a book* and two cups of lemongrass tea at a friends place where I found myself dropping of a present and sipping port, I decided to quench my evening thirsts with water. Alas for me, or rather the good girl inside me desirous to stick to resolutions, I came accross this (see below) message.

We’re sorry, but our database servers are currently overloaded. Please enjoy a quick cup of tea and then try refreshing this page.

* one I must read for my studies, nothing frivoulous

Oops I did it again

I have been buying books. Enough to give me much pleasure and enjoyment the coming trying weeks, however by far too little to utterly ruin me. Since I promised no lists until January 4, I cannot tell you which they are and I find that very convenient as I am too lazy today to list them anyway.
I have also come into possession of four new sorts of tea, and one might scold me for extravaganza were it not that these infusions 'accidentally' slipped into the shopping cart when I was supervising the end-of-year dinner purchases.
Anyone believe I might be short on tea soon and wishes to contribute to my collection may check for the list of what I have here.

Too Much Chocolate

There is such a thing (though I would scarce dare to admit it before) like too much chocolate, and I'm experiencing it right now.

There is however no such thing as too much tea, too much reading, too many lip balms and a man that loves me back. Please note that the last word in the previous sentence is merely to avoid obvious unwelcome comments.

Tea - part two

Upon professing the amount of tea varieties in my possession, the chocolate coach was shocked, not bewildered, surprised and ponderous of why anyone needs such an amount of tea leaves and herbal infuses, but plain shocked as if it was an obscenity.

I acknowledge that 45 is a lot of flavours and blends to choose from but it's not as if I have one pound of every variety. So I started a little math. I have 1521,1 grams of tea at an average of 2 grams tea per cup that makes 761 cups. I drink an average of 4 cups of tea per day. Which makes that my stock will last around 190 days. Or I will run out of tea on June 12. Isn't that great.

Tea

Those of you that do not know that I love nothing* more in this world then reading might as well stop bothering reading this blog. Those that don't know that next to reading and aforementioned * I love tea best on this planet are hereby informed that I have more sorts of tea then I have pots of nail polish.
