Re: Tieguanyin Tea Tuesday @ TDD - C&C
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2026 8:25 am
That's interesting history about Tieguanyin tea, trissie!
I'm glad DS7 seems to be feeling better, FFB. I don't think many 7 year olds here would eat sandwiches of pate' and pickles.
I hope you don't get the bug. WTG on the interview! If you get the job offer, you have options.
Enjoy your walk, Kitty. Is it still very hot where you are? Some jobs just seem to spawn more jobs. . .
Last night, the girls had a bonfire at their place, so dh and I spent the evening there. It was nice! I couldn't resist and had a s'more and a cookie - probably not the best choice after a weekend of restaurant food. . . But I enjoyed it! It wasn't a super productive day. I didn't get to many things on my list here. I tried to update my giving at one org, but that resulted in discovering our account there seemed nonexistent which resulted in a phone call and some fiddling around. Things should be OK now, and I can update giving. . .
This morning is sunny! And it is a bit cooler, a better day for a jog which I now need to prioritize since I didn't go yesterday. I'm meeting K and S2 at an outdoor coffee shop at 9:20. After that, I'll jog. Then, I need to get groceries. I have a zoom meeting at 1:30 to get K, dniece's friend, registered for school here in the fall. I have payroll tasks I need to do. Dinner will be on my own since dh is going to his clay class tonight. And there are some desk tasks I need to take care of.
