Mundane participation for the tragically bored.

Wearing: both leggings and blue jeans (trying to save heating costs), turtleneck, mustard colored thick cotton sweater, my old faux pony coat Dansko clogs, which suddenly my feet get into again. That's another story - for about a year there I couldn't fit into any of my danskos, long time favorite shoes. It wasn't that my feet were swollen but the arch was too high. (what? well I do have quite high arches)

Your such a tease!!!

Never tried this blend but it sounds quite lovely!

Twinings, tsar. An excellent strong tea hit when one is required!

We have Twinings over here. I should look for this particular blend.

You'd like it, I think. (Just checking the package here ...) "A fragrant blend of Keemun and other fine China teas, producing a delicate nutty flavour. This blend, cherished by the old Russian aristocracy, was traditionally brought across Asia to Russia by camel caravan ...."

Sounds like it was meant for you, tsar!
