The sunroof to the soul.☕

Einstein, a voracious tea drinker, originally calculated E=Mmm Tea² before modifying it ever so slightly. ☕

Life's underlay. ☕

Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over...(slurp)...it is now! ☕

The nursery of imagination. ☕

Tea stewing, ponder brewing, imagination, at its station. ☕

AMUSE-BOUCHE

Early mizzle seems to hang in the air like an uncleared throat. My parched lawn has started showing the tiniest hints of regrowth though not enough to convince a balding man to ditch his wig. Sunday silence, the amuse-bouche before we gorge ourselves on the cacophony of the week.

We have sit down for the first cup of tea. The Imagination has just left the launch pad and should dock with the orbiting Inspiration in tea minus one sip. 🚀☕

Granting favours to the imagination. ☕

NOW

Between every tick

Between every tock

Now is all

Life just happens.

Between every tick

Between every tock

There be how

There be dragons.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The Swiss Army Knife of good feelings. ☕

STARS IN THEIR EYES

Am I the only one who takes the cup and passes it through the steam coming off of the kettle and go, "Tonight Mathew I'm going to be..."? 

Thought so. ☕

ROLL UP! ROLL UP!

This early morning carries itself the same way confidence tricksters carry themselves. We know it's going to trick us into thinking the rather pleasant start won't turn into a real scorcher by this afternoon - but we have no idea how it goes about it.

Roll up! Roll up! 🌞

NIGHT PLAY

The temperature didn't bother going to bed last night. 

It stayed up, throughout.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Where thoughts go to play. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

NOW WE SIP...

now, we sip

at the boundaries of existence

as far away as we can possibly be

from the future

or the past;

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Walking around Memory's maze, grateful that I'm lost. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

My barometer reads 'slowly falling pressure' - my cuppa concurs. ☕

YOUNGSTERS

The second hand on my bedroom wall clock ticks its way around the clock face in crisp, staccato beats. 

The hour hand, immovable it seems, turns to the minute hand and says, "Youngsters, eh? When will they ever learn?"

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Brewing up a calm. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The golden, richly decorated, illuminated first initial in the dusty manuscript of today. ☕
