Adagio amoroso
Surprised and delighted to discover in my mailbox more lovely freebies from Adagio Teas:
Inside, another box of four 1 oz. samplers to match the first, with infusions of lime, cream, chocolate and “valentines” (mmm, chocolate-dipped strawberries, heaven!).
The gift that keeps on giving!
Am sipping a freshly-brewed cup of the lime as I type — subtle, refreshing, would probably make an excellent iced too. Will likely have to order a real-sized tin v. soon.
In other news, I’ve begun to foster an intense hatred for this new bathroom scale. Just what everyone needs, a new daily source of despair.
You must check out Utata.org right now for all sorts of fabulous goodness, not least of which is: trains!
(But this is Catherine Jamieson’s brainchild, so this should be no surprise at all)

Butterfat
There’s a certain perversity (or is it defeatism?) to walking up to a checkout counter holding a fancy new electronic bathroom scale — complete with body fat monitor — in one hand, and a large bag of Almond Roca candies in the other.
So, a dilemma: which do I open first? Because, so help me, only one is going to see action tonight. This is still irony, not tragedy, after all.
By the way, I’ve had trains on my mind lately:
Secret project — for now!
