Winter Solstice, 21 Dec. 2012...and the  world still is intact, yes?

Happy Holidays at the Cafe

Please.... nobody mention turkey and sprouts for a day or two...

Hi Kate!~)

Now you see "IT"

Now you don't :-)

Happy, happy, Rod!

Ummmm, looks a bit like deja vue...except... our wine was different  and we had parsnips too and heaps of sprouts ....but apart from that.... and the sun shining through the window.... it was the same here¦~)

There is a narrow tiled path that cuts through the park that lies between my home and the super market where I do my daily shopping, I walked it four times today.

Yesterday one of the house guests staying over Christmas and New Year requested that we eat cauliflower au gratin for this evening's meal, I agreed immediately, anything to make a change from  the ubiquitous turkey.

Just after midday I marched off to the shop through pouring rain and assembled all the necessities in a blue shopping basket but when I reached the cash desk I realized that I had left my money in my other coat!

I left the basket with Jos the cashier and walked, again through pouring rain, back to my house to get my wallet.  By the time I made it back home my feet and coat were soaked so I changed coats, made sure the wallet was now safely in my pocket and  went  back out into the rain which was by this time coming down in torrents. I sloshed and sploshed into the supermarket and paid for the groceries. Jos asked "How did you come to forget your wallet?" "Ah the affluence of having two coats." I replied.  We talked for a while about the film The Hobbit which I saw yesterday then went back outside for my fourth treading of that sodden park path.

As I walked, head down heading for home, I saw before me two earth worms that had come from opposite sides of the grassy verge that flanks the path and who were heading for each other for what I sensed was a sex tryst.  At that moment a pavement riding punk on a motor scooter raced passed me and ran over one of the worms effectively bisecting it.  I walked on thinking "Not a good day for shopping if you're a man or for a shag if you're a worm."

It has stopped raining now, my house guests have gone shopping for bric-a-brac, I need to par-cook that cauliflower.

Aw, the poor earth worm ( to say nothing about a soaked rod...Rod)

IF however, the motorbike sliced off a lower part of the wormand left its "saddle", and IF that worm takes time and buries its a$$ in the earth...it will survive, perhaps to shag again:

"...There is a common myth that has been around for a long time now that if you cut a worm in half, the two halves will grow into worms - making 2 worms out of 1. This is very untrue. It is true that if a worm loses part of its body it will survive, but if you cut a worm into 2 pieces, one half will surely die. The half with the saddle (the fatter, pink part) will burrow itself into the soil and survive. It is not a good idea to cut worms in half or any other creature for that matter - it is very cruel - so please do not be taken in by this myth and leave the worms whole."

Is there a Be-kind-to-Worms Day?

Hearts to all at the Cafe on Valentine's Day xxx

These buttons are placed with a scipt that doesn;t work on all browsers. Try another browser if possible and then you know...

Um..... which browser button do I press for a mug of green Jasmine tea with honey...?

Assam or jasmine browser? Cheers, Rod! Ruud! Angie and Susan :-)

Nice place for a cup of tea.

@Rod - ha ha ha!

Chilly, rainy Saturday in Greece, time for hot choco:

Very nice hearts and cupids, Susan!

I use Safari on my MacBook,

and ning displays the symbols, so far, so good :-0

Perhaps a little tea will help.  Hi Angie, Susan, Rod, Ruud, and SA.

MMmmm sounds good. I'll bring the tea and could be there in 6 hours and 10 minutes.

Can't be forgetting MomKat!!  Will you have a little tea too?

If you like we can join the cat and the dog's conversation about tea and perspective. However, it must be 1AM in Thessoloniki now. 

Not for me thankyou, I'm just about to hit the hay and if I drink tea this late... even just a little cup... I'll be woken up in about three hours with a undeniable need to visit the loo which is downstairs and, as we all know, descending stairs in the darkness of night is unwise at best... but thanks for the offer.  Sometimes I can't get to sleep at night because of  anticipation of the first sludge-shifting mug of tea in the morning!

Oh, that is a "little" cup of tea! thanks, i drink herbal teas, like linden tea...they re soothing and put you to sleep..."Sleepy time Tea" :-)

And Turkish apple tea is great during the day, mmmmmm

Fancy a tea?

Greek Easter weekend...breaking the Easter Bread tonight,

with a bit of tea? ΚΑΛΟ ΠΑΣΧΑ!

Summer Solstice...June 21!

(or Winter if you are in Oz or far south of Equator)

Hello everyone... Just introducing myself. =*) I'm new to the site, and to mail art in general. I'm 27, I'm from the little town of Elizabeth, CO.... what else can I tell ya'll... I live in a farm where my husband and I grow micro greens and culinary herbs.... We have 2 dogs and ferret.... so yeah...=*) Hope you're all having a good week!

Fancy a tea?

Remember thelast year that we welcomed the 2000th member. Seemed then that he/she never left an address, so nobody could contact them.

So I would suggest that when the 3000th IUOMA-member has a postal address we can find, we should all send him/her some mail-art just to make it a special welcome.

What do you think?

Ruud, that would be great. I'm in!

enjoy the coffee. Soon with 3000 members!

And if three (3) more join us here in the cafe,

we'll have 300 members!

Coffee or tea?

Tea :-)

(Turkish Apple Tea, please)

GREEN Jasmine tea for me please with just a splash of acacia honey... oh... that reminds me... it's tea time... again.

You would have thought that all the cherries... the Greek cherries... I've just eaten would have quenched my thirst... but no:~)

Greek Cherries! Good idea , Rod!

Greek cherry juice...on-the-rocks, please!

oops...I meant to say 3 more new members here at Cafe,

and we will be 200 ! :-0

Only 2 more needed now!

Can I order a glass of red French wine at the Café?

Indeed, am I allowed to'french-ify' the name with an accent?

Vàléntinè

How dare you Val!  Now I insist that we change the name to "Tea Rooms" Oh! Wiat a minute... this is Ruud's Group... perhaps we should call it coffee shop... hum... perhaps not!~)

Wiat?  I think I just invented a new word:)  Anyone any idea what it might mean?   Here's a thing... am I the only one of the 2998 who has spent the last four days listening to cricket commentary on the radio?

I'm sure being number 200 is auspicious! Rod, everyone in my family is listening to the cricket.  They have even converted some of our American cousins.
