Teatime

A new tea shop opened in the neighbourhood this month. What a delight. Teas from all over the world. You take a table and order the tea. The ladies take the tea and steep it in a big pot with lots of water so the leaves can move around. They time it with a little cooking timer and when it is perfect they bring it to your table. It is balanced on a little warmer with a candle in it so that you can have a couple of cups of just about perfect tea.

Here is the best part. All the plugs in the wall are covered, so there is no hooking up the laptop. They just don't want laptops. They want people to sit and relax or chat quietly.

They haven't figured out how to rule out cell phones, but I bet they will eventually.

So the city marches on, providing wonderful experiences. This perfect pot of tea is $3.50 and the tearoom is beautiful, an oasis in my day.
