An excellent black tea. Smooth and rich and robust and not at all astringent. It is a glorious 62 degrees out there today, but it is breezy so I feel a little chill. This is just what I wanted today to keep me going.
There are several screaming children playing on the balcony below me. They’ve been playing out there for several hours. Not being a kid person. I dearly want to tell them to shut up. But I an’t really tell them to use their inside voices when they are technically outside, right? More tea.

It must be frustrating to live in close proximity to other people’s kids. I haven’t had that experience myself (only irritating roommates), but some days when my baby is screaming, I am thankful we don’t live in an apartment. I came home once and could hear him screaming from outside my house (not loudly, mind you). And he’s only a baby, with baby lungs. Haha.
It seems like there is always something or someone making noise wherever I live. So far this is the best place. No thumping bass, no kids running and screaming above me. I do have earplugs though, and I think they’ll get a lot of use until it gets too hot to have the windows open. Sure, I get annoyed, but they are just kids and s=kids should be able to play without some crabby old lady yelling at them.
Maddy Barone, I feel ya. I totally get it. I have earplugs and I have noise-cancelling headphones, but really, it is a drag, a massive drag, to have to constantly plan my life around filtering out the noise of other people and their children.
It really helps when parents and grandparents have some sort of agenda for keeping the kids occupied with other things in the world, ie. away from home so that the neighbours get a bit of a break.
