@thedevotea Yes, it only counts from when it was enabled – and manually awarding didn’t work though I tried. It also gets very complicated. Mostly it didn’t matter except for the blog posts. I’ll write a post about it soon. I knew you could make it to 5 times Robert, I always had faith in you : P

Yes, t’was ridiculous. It was deleted from the stream pronto but you probably saw it in your notifications. I messaged you to let you know why it slipped through.

@riccaicedo The Tea Trade blog post Robert is referring to is here:
Yep, looks like fun stuff. Definitely images I can pin too.

Good morning. Happy Halloween to those who like celebrating. I like the fun side of it, but not the lethal, gory depictions. Graveyard stones, plastic blades with ketchup? No thanks. Anyway, did you know that going trick or treating saves electrical power? No, didn’t know that? Off you go now and trick thy neighbors. Means you’re not firing up the…[Read more]

Happy Halloween everyone – found this pic of @lazyliteratus‘ identical twin. Getting ready to party with the sheep. It’s clearly not Geoff himself, since this handsome fella isn’t wearing PJ’s 😉

@xavier? Not sure I understand your question. Geoff is talking about the local tea networking that is going on already, which is why most of those people knew each other, but Geoff didn’t. So, he doesn’t need to […]

Not unknown @thedevotea – but rare. Who do you know who blends an oolong from one area with an oolong from another? I don’t mean flavored oolongs, just a mix of different styles of oolong, or countries of origin, […]

Beautifully written, and since it’s drizzling outside here too, I think of England and its tea. Thanks for sharing, what a wonderful experience.

Sounds like a fun and interesting event. I didn’t know you were up some stairs @teachange aka David Galli. For some reason I thought you were on the first floor.
Geoff, are you sure they really all knew each […] -

Good morning – as you can see we’re lucky to have weathered the storm just fine. It’s still windy, but the power is on! Thinking about @jopj @thepurrfectcup @teaformeplease how are you ladies? @gingkoseto is your area okay? @iheartteas make sure you don’t blow away either.

Sorry, last link didn’t work. Here’s my Oolong wholegrain bread. Created the recipe myself and it’s delicious.

We’ve had over 8″ of rain so far. City is under flood warning and several roads are not passable. So far we’re ok though. Not that I’ve walked around to check. Definitely the worst of the weather so far.

Good luck.
On the positive side: enough water for tea. Don’t forget to take it from the middle of the stream.

Ha ha, yes I was thinking you can give it a go first @bram

Went for a walk-around which was wet but fun. We’ve been stuck in the house for two days and I really wanted to get out and see things for myself.

Sorry guys, we’re not around as much, nor are some of the others in the line of “Sandy.” It’s very stormy and rainy – right now it looks like a perfect night to tell Halloween stories by candlelight. Hope we don’t need candles, and that the power stays on. If you don’t hear from us at all, that’d be why.

Not sure this is enough in terms of contingency plan for “Sandy” but hey, we’ll give it a shot:

I also have had a few. “Congratulations on commenting five times” etc. And my well done you’ve blogged 5 times came AFTER my 100 times one. But given that I had used up all my whining points for that week, I let it slide. I figure it only counts from when it’s enabled. And anyway, it’s not the quantity of blogs, it’s how they make the world a…[Read more]

It made me laugh, and given that I’ve been feeling so icky over the last week, the laugh was a treasured moment of my day!
