FIRST CUP OF TEA

Puzzle-solving for the soul. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

If at first you don't succeed, sip, sip again. 😊☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I'm travelling light, just the one bag. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The journey is the destination? 🤔☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Anchored in the quiet harbour of an early morning. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I have a coffee caddy and a sugar caddy sitting either side of my tea caddy. Guess which two are the ugly sisters? ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Slurp like nobody's watching. ☕

SUNDAY'S LINEN

The Northampton clouds are looking a little off-white and have taken on the appearance of over-boiled linen. They're not exactly threatening rain but they're fairly sure they know how to get hold of some. Sunday's deafening silence tells us exactly who was in charge of the linen.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

How do they manage to put a smile in every cup? 😊☕

DRESS REHEARSAL

Northampton is dark with cloud yet brighter skies cling faintly on to the horizon. Imagine a frown that's finding a way to be happy. Autumn lurks, ready. Today it seems like we're in full dress rehearsal for the season to come. Leaves twitch in the breeze. They know their fate.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Marking Contentment present in today's register. ✔️☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Bringing the day into focus, one sup at a time. ☕

NORTHAMPTON CLOUD

In Northampton the white clouds are clumped tightly together with tinges of black and grey. Like a heap of discarded cotton balls after a lady's removed her mascara.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Wondering what I'll wonder is the perfect preamble to the first sip. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Perhaps Imagination

Is the true reality

And we only get to see such truth

Through endless cups of tea. 🤔☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"The fast train to Imagination is now leaving from Armchair One. This is a direct service." ☕

MONDAY

Marmite Mondays. It's not everyone's favourite day or even everyone's favourite metaphor, but it starts another week and there are many who wish they could do that. Monday isn't about endurance, it's about finding little victories hidden along the way - like Tuesday. 😉

FIRST CUP OF TEA

A new beginning, every day. I'll drink to that. ☕

SUNDAY

Sunday's warm hug greets me like an old friend. Sunday gives you the confidence to aspire to do nothing or in which to do anything. It's quite unlike any other day of the week. A free pass from life, if you like. A get out of stale free card. You can do it! Or not. That's Sunday.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

 Imagination's Open Universitea ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The Tea Rex died out not because of a catastrophic comet strike but because its arms were too short to sup its daily cuppa. ☕🦖

NARRATION'S FLIRTATION

The book of your day was held upside down

There's no need to scowl and no need to frown

Cos when all's been done - or yet to be said

Remember you start and end all days in bed.

Savour the tale contained in those pages

Narration's flirtation - your ʞooq for the ages.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I'm a tea hewer - and an ahh-er. ☕⛏️😊
