Good morning and pass the butter. We are having pancakes, southern style. Squeeze me some coffee...please.

Not sure how Southern style differ from my Canadian flapjacks, but I'll suspect they are good. Loves me some Southern cooking and I don't get down there as much as I used to.

It's past lunch so some green tea would be in order.

Coffee, please. Quality auditor will be here within the hour. This is my only chance to breathe and prepare for his visit. Wish me luck that there isn't a non-conformance to be found. I'm ready for the struggle.Fkc0drBuPOeDHvmq


Best of luck. My employer is ISO certified (9002 or something like that) so we have regular audits. However, our last audit they didn't bother with IT so I was off the hook.a8E8Pf63TEp9uzPg

Thanks, This is a Supplier Audit to ISO-9001:2015 standards. We are performing a Class II FDA recall on their behalf. So far, so good. Makes me happy!

Yes, it is the best nickel-per-pound coffee in the Americas. It is often a biotic growth medium.

It's the reason I only drink coffee from here.

Throw a log on the fire and some extra grounds in the pot. The temp FEELS LIKE -12 F right now. That's -24 C at the moment. Tomorrow morning it will FEEL LIKE -25 F (-31 C). Time to snuggle for a couple of days. Irish coffee, please.

Actually, I think my tea supplier is ISO certified.

I love being awake after everyone has gone to sleep. My house is peaceful for now.

I'll just sit here quietly reading and sipping ginger ale.

I hope everyone one is doing well.

Happy Weekend!

Don't mind the certification, I just need an Earl Grey tea to get me going this morning!

I have four hours of dance workshops to learn a section of choreography today. Yes, only a section. Eek! Wish me luck, guys! ☕

The coffee is brewing for me.

Good morning. Not sure I'll be learning any more dance routines anytime soon.

Cheers, all.

Afternoon, Larry. Having been born with two left feet, just the idea of a four-hour dance workshop makes me woozy.



Hello, Bill. I did so love to dance. Perhaps I could join Cynthia sometime, someday.

Dinner is almost ready here and I just submitted a memoir to this site that I hope will be of interest to some readers here.

Drinking my last cuppa java for the day.

Cheers, all.

Anytime, Larry ! And your memoir is delightful. smile

Bill, I'm feeling woozy after the workshop so that makes two of us!

I could really do with a pot of Earl Grey tea. ☕

My pot of java is still on the stove, brewing. I'll just do a little internet sailing until it's ready.

Cheers, all.

Good morning, folks.

Coffee is still brewing so let's sit quietly and do our morning computer chores.

Cheers, all.

Was up half the night with a sinus headache. Coffee is brewing and the cat is chasing its shadow.

Blueberry Jam is the tea of the day.

And if January is the trial month, can I cancel at the end of the trial period? I was not satisfied with 2019 as presented.FGBCcM1KTlFUWnLk

Snow blowing the driveway; four inches this morning. COLD and miserable. (Me. Not the weather. The weather is horrible.) Still need hot black tea with 3 Ricola lozenges and two spoonfuls of honey. Cough, cough, cough, cough. Sneeze! Oops, sorry about that. Don't stand too close! Looks like the high temps this week are in the negative numbers.~How thrilling~

Sounds much like my day/week as well. A forecast 10-15cm of snow has begun to fall and it's supposed to be cold right through the weekend.

Need to keep my caffeine levels moderate after having some insomnia on the weekend so I'll take a lemon ginger herbal tea.

A scattering of sleepy snow forecast for tomorrow. But nothing like with Scott!

Thank goodness the 70 mph gales over the weekend are past us now

I could do with a lemon and ginger tea too, please!

Shovelled a pile last night, then had to deal with the snowbank the plow created in the end of the drive overnight when I got up this morning. A blower is looking more and more appealing all the time, but if I get one, my car will have to park outside year-round (our garage is tiny and barely holds both cars so we park mine outside in the summer to make room for the mower and wheelbarrow) or we'll have to put in a shed.

Caffeinating with David's Breakfast Blend this morning. Nice, flavourful black tea blend.

Rain, sleet, snow and dropping temperatures. The wind chill will be in the negative numbers tomorrow. Thankfully I don't have to be outside.

I'll just settle into a comfy couch here and sip on a ginger ale.

It was a long day but I finally finished cleaning out my parent's attic, sheds, and utility room.

I'm too old to be carrying things down three flights of steps.

Cheers!

I want to spare my children that experience and haven't figured that out yet. I've thrown out most things purchased in my twenties and thirties. I'm less successful with "stuff" from my forties and fifties. Am open to anyone's wise advice on this.

More tea and honey, please. Is there a small piece of lemon cake around?

Gill, you are doing a sterling job! Not easy at all.

Stuff just gathers! I'm not a hoarder and pretty good at throwing old things out but all the same, it just seems to grow on its own!

I'm making a lemon and ginger tart tomorrow, if you can wait that long! 🍰

Definitely a morning for coffee, please. ☕
