If this is ever going to amount to anything it will be through the slow and painstaking inquiry that has started in England now, with facts supporting the accusations. These things take time and usually the Brits will turn over every rock and pebble, it could take years. The Taliban are being funded by the endless supply of drug money. » Posted By Kalima On December 14, 2009 @ 4:57 am Good morning javaz and thank you. I’ve been dealing with crazy, cat hating neighbours for about 16 years and no i don’t need it but I’ll find a way to deal with it. One more injured paw and I intend to phone the animal protection office to see if someone will come to take a look, I’ve taken photos already. » Posted By Kalima On December 14, 2009 @ 4:23 am He looks very happy, can you imagine that he’s been doing this since he was 15 years old. I love the red used on post boxes and the telephone booths, even if the phone is not working, many are not, the bright red colour is very cheery as you wait for the person to finish in the next booth, in the pouring rain, sleet or snow. » Posted By Kalima On December 14, 2009 @ 2:41 am Good morning everyone, I hope that you slept well. Checking through the latest news, this story about the Taliban caught my eye, about their interference with even this project to improve the everyday lives of the people of Afghanistan. It shows the challenges faced by soldiers not only on the battlefield but in construction of a hydroelectric turbine due to be fitted in a dam in the heartlands, but delayed for about 15 months. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/13/afghanistan-turbine-taliban-british-army 24 hours in pictures, the world we don’t see every day. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/gallery/2009/dec/13/24-hours-in-pictures?picture=356824712 Interesting edible gifts for the holidays. The Pfeffern » Posted By Kalima On December 14, 2009 @ 2:21 am Don’t you miss it just a little nellie? I grew up in a country where 2 meters of snow every winter was the norm, moved to a country which had cold gale force winds, cold, cold winters and was damp. Then I come to Japan, winters seem mild, I hardy ever wear a coat or boots and miss the numbing cold more every year. Maybe I’m just crazy but homesick would be a better explanation. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 6:07 am LOL, so he was right. I have a few friends in LA and if I remember correctly, they have never mentioned the times it rains there, now I know why. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 5:57 am Good morning nellie. AdLib told me the other night that people who live in LA act quite strange when it rains there, traffic comes to a standstill, was he just jerking my chain? I did a sneaky edit there, must be my cocktail. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 5:30 am Good morning javaz, I just popped in after watching a film with hubby and saw movement here, unusual for a Sunday, so it captured my attention. I can’t remember the last white Christmas here but seem to remember that I was mobile enough to build a snowman with hubby, it must have been a long time ago. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 5:26 am Hey, I think she has and so do the J gang. They watch us, hear us mumbling and think, take it easy, tomorrow is another day. They are right. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 4:44 am Hi wts, it is my rest day today, I hope that you will drop in again. I’m on first and only vodka orange tonight. Kampai!!! » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 4:24 am Icebergs in the waters off Australia? “What did I tell you Albert, there’s no @?) » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 6:11 am Well I will have to take my leave of you and hit the hay, busy morning tomorrow. In less than 8 hours it will be Saturday for me. I wish you all a good day and look forward to meeting up again tomorrow. Take care and be safe. I leave you with a quote from Gandhi. Good night javaz and everyone. “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 6:07 am Good morning javaz, you have been in our thoughts. » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 5:49 am Poor Brownie, he’s always being chastised, can’t do a thing right to please his critics. He was not everyones choice to be the next PM, but it seems as if Tony owed it to him and he expected it. Be careful what you wish for. Yes elections are on the way and I thought compared to your country and the bag of tricks I see from the other side, this is quite mild. Every man for himself sort of thing. » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 5:48 am We have locally grown Japanese green tea here, good for you but too bitter for me. We also have teas from all over the world so I never go short of my favourites. I love the smell of Earl Grey but unfortunately it started to give me stomach cramps a few years ago, so I had to give it up. I still love German blend coffee and my relatives there keep me in good supply. You mentioned Irish tea and my eyes lit up just thinking about a creamy, hot cup of Irish coffee in the winter. Now you’ve started something. » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 2:26 am Good morning all, it’s been raining all day here today, great weather for ducks.

Cheers! I’m not snobby about tea bags either, especially first thing in the morning when eyes are still half closed. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:38 pm Drive safely and have a good day boomer and yes for the last part. How very sad. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:47 am To all of you almost a day behind I wish for a good day for you, don’t ask me about the future, I don’t know, 🙂 but one thing I feel I must say is, stay true to who you are, don’t compromise your ideals or your dreams, that is why we have come to adore you so much. I will move this blog when I’m ready, ok, 9 am EST time, I’m ready for that. Good night from Tokyo. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:34 am ” President Obama accepts Nobel Peace Prize: “I am at the beginning, and not the end, of my labors on the world stage.” To those who still doubt his sincerity, get a life and wtf is wrong with you people? » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 5:17 am Gosh boomer1949, you are more than welcome to share any link here, and I used to be a strong coffee girl myself until I started spinning like a top and repeating myself a few times a day. I have no Brit in my bloodline unless you count my Welsh stepfather, but the real Welsh might object. Cheers boomer! » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 4:53 am Anytime, the door is open 24 hours. Have good day. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 3:39 am Good morning Bernard. Guilty as charged I’m afraid, must have sugar in my first mug full, helps to disperse the fog. I suppose as I said it was a habit picked up in England, my mother from Germany used to say that it tasted like dishwater and never drank English tea as long as she lived. I love any kind of tea and have the cupboards stacked so full, the boxes fall on my head whenever I open the doors. Painful habit at times. Oh and welcome to “Morning Blog” please drop in again anytime. » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 3:06 am Good morning to everyone. Javaz, a special hug for you. Are there any tea lovers here? I don’t know about you but I can hardly function in the mornings without my first cup of sweet tea. After that I might change to coffee but come 4 pm and I’m back to my mug of tea. Must be all those years I spent in England, love my cuppa. Found this video about how to make a perfect cup of tea, my video stuck a little at the beginning but carried on alright to the end. Hope you enjoy it. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article6846066.ece » Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2009 @ 2:26 am Dearest javez, My heart feels heavy to read your sad news this morning, I’m so very sorry about your loss. Everyone has expressed much of what I feel already, you write that your heart is broken, I feel your pain. My thoughts, my heart and my prayers reach out to you. Take care of yourself and be strong. Hugs to you. KK and the K family xxx » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2009 @ 3:25 pm Good night all, I really must go. Take care and be safe. See you later I hope. *waves* » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2009 @ 6:01 am I get them so rarely, it made a nice change. I’m going to move the blog and then I think I will call it a night. Good night to everyone and hope to see you again in my morning. Have a good day. » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2009 @ 5:57 am I’ve collected cookbooks for far too many years, i need a bigger house. Yes I find myself printing out a lot of recipes but even those are starting to take up too much space. You are very welcome. » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2009 @ 5:43 am Good morning javaz, how are you? Yes I see your gravatar, well done on both counts. I have 2 different photos in this blog. The old one on the Home Page and the new one here, gremlins in the wires? » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2009 @ 5:35 am My day passed quickly for some reason. A little work for hubby, writing Christmas cards, emailing with friends, feeding cats and then feeding cats again. It was quite cold here today, so my “lions” slept for most of the day. Heaven! » Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2009 @ 5:19 amComments Posted By Kalima
