I want to play with it so we can re-bond after our long separation, but dangit! People are making me work! :lol:
Damn those people making you work! Don't they realize you need some special time alone with your computer?
Someone who understands!!!!!!

Of course, if I can figure out the network key to get on our wireless network here, I can play with it AND work. Or at least look like I'm working. :twisted:
If you have another computer on wireless it's not that hard to find it.
I don't but there are a couple other laptops floating around here that I could get the key from. But hubby set the new network up, so I'm just waiting on him to email me back. Ah, to have connections. :wink:

Pentox and Auggy have become King and Queen of the "forum tunnels" that have grown to epic lengths... :lol:

It was a tie...obviously when the mythical leaves fell into the water, both tea and tea brewing vessels were born.

For me personally, it was tea first...

Adagio Nepal FF again this morning. If you did not try a Nepal tea, you should. They make great additions to iced tea blends as well.

And now, another "blend" as I finished off one fukamushi and had to add another fukamushi to it. So, ended up with a fukamushi from Uji and Shizuoka prefectures.

Glad to hear the computer is up and running Auggy, added some drama to TeaDay..and I learned a few things along the way.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I was going to ask for a lager pic of the lily and cup, thanks! Just lovely!

OK, Pentox...you have convinced me, this will be one of my next openings. I have never had authentic Farmer shincha, which is essentially just Aracha that has been packaged vs baled and cold stored for year long enjoyment.

I may get a package out of CS today.

Silver needles. Kind of flat after shincha.

Everyone thinking good thoughts about Auggy and Dell today?
I don't say it enough, Sal, thanx for always brightening TeaDay...well our TeaDays with your images.

I like the overlap cup...which is pure white, my fave teacup "color." But I have to ask, how many DIFFERENT teacups do you own??? Would they all fit into a family photo?

It was no big deal picking the lily. It was one of about 12 that have bloomed so far. The more vibrant ones will bloom later. I usually pick those, too, & enjoy them on the back deck.

Regarding the new avatar -- at least this way I can enjoy tea on the beach all summer long! 8)

Tea came first for me. Started out with *gasp* tea bags (like almost everyone else). Then I found Adagio and discovered the cool gadgets you can get for loose tea. I haven't bought anything fancy yet for my teaware (partially because I love my ingenuiTEA!)

I'm finishing off my golden monkey (have one more pot to make). I'm trying to concentrate on one type of loose tea (to partially clean out my tea, I have a lot, plus to learn and appreciate each tea).

Happy sipping!
