Tea Time

Just so we're clear on this, I drink tea. A lot. More than I ever did in the States. Kara Joy would love living here. Tea is usually served whenever possible, but especially on Sunday afternoons (here at Crick that is). We drink black tea (PG tips to be specific) with milk and sugar (these make a huge difference in the taste and temperature of the tea). Often tea is served with cookies called Digestives. They're round and flat and sometimes have chocolate on one side. We also have Hob Nobs, which are more of an oat cookie, also round and flat. Tea cakes can be a number of shapes, sizes and varieties, and often resemble Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. Fruit is sometimes served as well. Jonathan's other favorite tea treat is twiglets. Twiglets look like twigs, are made of yeast and wheat and taste unlike anything you've ever had before. Tea is best when shared with a friend or a good conversation. The only downside is...well, I'm sure someone could find one.

Happy Birthday tomorrow!
I have now caught up on your blogs. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm changing either. I know I am though. I know that I have a lot of moments when I don't want to go back home. I like it here. I wish home could come to me.
Unfortunately walking through the parks in Seville increases the likliehood of being flashed. Sad day.

Happy brithday tomorrow Ms. Kuehn.

I need to know if you want me to come visit you for a whole week or if you would rather something else. It's getting to the point where I need to make a decision ASAP, saavy?

I don't feel like I'm changing much either. I think it's my fault though.
