The First Inaugurial Ards Tea Party - Sponsored by Adagio
On Saturday, just before I headed out for the Mournes, the postman delivered a present from Adagio Teas - a black tea sample set! (Not being as all powerful as Stray Toaster I didn’t get a tea pot, but I have a few of those already.)
So, I supplied the tea:
Emma supplied the cake:
And thus the The First Inaugurial Ards Tea Party was instituted. As some wag quipped, we know how to have fun, yes sir. The teas were great, except Pu Erh Dante, it smelt fishy to me. The others thought it tasted of the Ulster Folk Museum which I think means ‘peaty’ - I’ve tasted neither so I stuck with ‘fishy’. My favourite was Golden Monkey, as I write this out I’m enjoying a cup of Keemum, very nice.
In a totally unrelated incident:

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
