That kyusu is precious as is the photo! I like the size and don't have anything around that size.

I will have a football game on at some point, mainly as I am on TeaChat for background noise. Maybe Iron Chef. I also like the Science Channel, especially anything extreme engineering.

Started the day with Adagio's Sencha Premier. NEED TEA NOW!!!

We haven't had cable in at least four years. It's great! The antenna doesn't work, either. We just watch DVDs, and the occasional thing from the internet.

Salsero, I want that pot, too!

Despite having just bought a fancy television, it only gets turned on once a week: Saturday nights for watching movies, sci-fi, or British tv series with friends.

No TV for me. No tea either for that matter.
I will remedy that tomorrow.

Watching the Wizard of Oz. I never miss a chance to watch it, after all, the Emerald City is my fave town!

Had Gyokuro Yame from O-Cha earlier and currently trying a sample of Kuradashi Sencha from Pentox, THANKS! This stuff is really different, though I can not say I am in love with it. But it is reallllly different.

Experiments with pan firing different types of rice and barley for brewing in the evenings. Can't wait to try them. A little later I will try one.

But I don't really feel like dragging camera gear around even though the weather is perfect.
Sorry to hear that GG. I'm glad you are OK.

That small? It's beautiful. What kind of filter does it have?

The perfect kind. Sorry, Geekgirl, I never noticed your question. Thanks, Olivierco, for coming to the rescue.

Hey Geekgirl, Me too, and I love your new acquisition, it's surely a 'cutie'!

Sal, Lovely, lovely photo as always and again, you always make me smile and, most important 'I WANT THAT DRAGON' from your post the other day :wink:

Had to watch some NASCAR Sunday. :D

Also watched some History Channel and finished the evening with Brad Paisley on the country music channel.

Enjoyed some Lady Grey Sunday afternoon.
