    Alas all, the blueberry tea is history... But a nice strawberry blend is in order. Shall I? I will read all the above comments anew as the water boils, for you all are simply delightful!

    Isn't it delicious the way that us girls can have our own thread, lol!

    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    ** pours a spot of Strawberry tea for dramasnot6 **

    Mango tea you say? If we had that here in the Prairies, I'd try it. I like any and all teas, except this one chinese variety (the name escapes me, but I'll post it when I remember it). This one variety smells like the remains of a house that has burned down ... or logs at a campfire that have just been doused with water.... do you get the point? Seriously, this tea tastes like those smells desribed above!

    My favorite (hmmm. perhaps it is ONE of my favorites?) well anyhow, the one called Cherry Rose Festival is absolutely delicious -- a green tea with hints of both cherries and roses -- mmmmm!!

    OOOh I love Mango Tea!! I love any fruit tea, but Chai is the best when it's cold.

    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    I have never had Chai before, but it sounds so popular that I really should indulge.

    Does anyone have a coffeeshop that they enjoy going to for whatever reason? The reason I ask this is because there are two that I like to go to. One is a coffeeshop that features one mike entertainment on various nights. I say "one mike entertainment" because there is just a teeny stage and one microphone. For entertainment, they have had all kinds of different musicians, rather nice to sip your coffee (or tea) and hear blues, or a chamber ensemble, a singer, etc. etc.

    The other place is a retro 'beatnik' type of place. Very casual, with a microphone, and they have poetry contests there. The term given is "Poetry Slams". Anyone can get up and belt out their poetry; or quietly read their poetry... does not matter, whatever the moment demands. And the poetry you get to hear, wow... mind blowing. And these are people just like you and I, not necessarily published authors. I actually think one of their rules is that it is strictly amateur... but I'd have to check. Anyhow, this can be the most entertaining way of hearing poetry and sipping coffee that life can provide!

    Opps thats supposed to just be Haven. My location is a play on picture. I have a pic of a fairy and Haven Is the home of fairies in Artimes Fowl. I'm currently located in a holding area of the L.E.Pracon cells. (Lower elements police recon) Its just a bit of a joke if you get me.
    I'm From Dublin by the way. I do really like fruit teas but my only problem with the site being in french is that i've forgotten how to speak and read french. Ben seven years since i've learned it.

    Yes Opti it can seriously mess with you, especially if you have been getting used to a routine.

    ** the group is nicely sipping tea especially made by Niamh and sampling the lovely rolls provided by dramasnot6, despite the warning from optimisticnad **

    ** a rustling is heard in the distance, the groan of a belly aching for sustenance follows **

    ** the girls are silent now, wondering, "what next?" **
