Happy TeaWeekend everyone. Welcome to a TeaRoom weekend on TeaDay. You are invited to drop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Should have done, "would you rather be a teaware potter or a drinker/user" ...

Just a reminder, you can vote for up to 3 options today.

I'd rather be an artist than a viewer.
Being a reader and a writer, both are equally important.
I listen to music, because I'm totally without talent in the making of it!!!!
Interesting subject today.
Barclay and I are waiting patiently for GD Alex to wake up, so we can have a cuppa' together!!
Barclay is curled up in my lap keeping me warm in the recliner.

I would rather be an eater than a cook. The cook in my house agrees that's what he prefers too
I am music and photography illiterate. So what other choice can I have
I read a lot more than I write. But it always cost me much more time writing then reading

I am a:
Writer, Reader, Photographer, Listener, and Tea Slurper.
I am listening to a bootleg concert from Explosions in the Sky at the Central Park Summer Stage. I like finding recordings of shows I have been to.

I am drinking 2008 Yame Gyokuro, aged by me.

I hate reading and photographing
For me music and listening are the same thing, ultimately, to play instruments is listening.
My ending dream, is to view as many things then write a good thing.

I compose original pieces on the flamenco guitar.
I would love to be more into photography

I put reader and listener. Actually, most evenings will find me in front of the computer with Itunes on shuffle, knitting or reading and drinking tea. Makes for a wonderful winter evening.

Reader, Writer, viewer and listener.
This topic is very close to what I always say about tv. I would rather be out experiencing things than seeing other people doing them, at least most of the time. Jaws is the exception, I would rather watch someone on tv get eaten by a shark than experience that one

Re: Weekend TeaRoom 12/18-19/10 Writer or a reader, etc?
I am really a bit of all of the above, but I love writing slightly more than I enjoy reading, I love taking photos, mainly to look through the ones I took for a potential great photo, and I love making music though lately I am much more of a listener. Although the seemingly hidden bonus, I think I may be better suited to appreciate teaware than make it, although I have dreamed of trying to make it. I just worry I would then look at all my pieces and keep asking "how did they do this?"

I quite enjoy writing and have done some, but never really made the leap I would have liked to make. I enjoy reading, but it puts me to sleep.

I admire the photos of other, including here on TC, but I seem to lack the patience and talent needed. So I admire, though one day I hope to kick my efforts up a notch.
I think my family is tone deaf, and I have come to accept this, so I love to listen.
Great TD, beginning with Yutaka Midori, followed by Matcha with the Mrs. And currently Oku Yutaka organic.
