MJ's little flock

[ManueB]

Many years ago I drank tea from samovars staying in Russia. I thought it was good, but that was thirty years ago. Everyone then drank it that way, from the most rural households to people in big cities. I have no clue how it's now, I will ask.
At the time what I experienced was similar as what I then saw in Morocco or Egypt- people would offer you tea anytime of the day as a display of conviviality in small glasses and always with sugar.

Yep, and then I reheated the second cup and lost any karma points I might have scored.

You're incorrigible!

I wish I could share a similar story but I have never even seen a samovar, except in photos.

Do you remember the flavour? Was it mild or bitter?

I found an old video of Janet on her way home from a vet appointment.

It's blurry but it's amazing how relaxed she is.

awww Ivy was saying oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo because her egg was coming on and she needed access to the nest. I stepped outside to help her and she was so happy to see me, she instantly went from oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo to babadebapbapbap!

I don't remember, honestly, but if it had been really bitter I would not have been able to drink it even with sugar.
And I do remember each time when either tea or coffee or other drinks that I was served when travelling by locals was very hard to drink . When you actually try to find a way out of drinking it and there isn't.

Friday evening... Ahhhhhh feels good to drop all the stress.

Both broodies got up twice today. The first time focussed on water and snacks. The second time focussed on excessive dust bathing.

Young mums are having some fun.
