How much tea to start a blog?

I have been thinking about starting a blog for over a year now, but now seems like a good time to actually start one. (It has taken one cup of tea to make it this far!)

Much as I prefer relating in person or by handwriting, I am interstate from my family and most of my friends this year, and intend to be overseas at some point in the next few years, and this seems a simpler, faster way to keep in touch with people I know, as well as to connect with new people along the way. So welcome to the story of my journey!

As you may have guessed from the title, I am a fan of tea. I enjoy having a cuppa with a book, with a friend, for a time of reflection, or simply as preparation to face whatever may be in store for the day. This is an invitation for you to have a cup of tea with me while you read what I write, and I hope I will hear from you as well.

This morning I had an excellent cup of tea with a good friend of mine, T2 English Breakfast, which she was kind enough to share with me. As I have been interstate already for about seven weeks, this was only the second time I've seen her this year, which made having this cup of tea with her particularly special.

I head back interstate on the weekend, with two new tea blends to try, and I look forward to seeing how this blog will turn out. Hopefully I will be sharing about my study, the books I am reading, and a multitude of other things!

Enjoy a cup of tea (or other beverage of choice)!

1458

It's been a while since I posted anything, and today I'm busy with an assignment, but I wanted to briefly move on with my history post, so that I can reach my next cool goal! So, what happened in 1458? I'm resorting to Wikipedia again to try to keep this brief in writing time, but it is looking like a fairly busy year! Of popes and royals: Matthias I Corvinus became king of Hungary. George of Podebrady became king of Bohemia. Pope Pius II became the 210th pope! After the death of Pope Callixtus III. Of significant (or interesting) deaths: Alfonso V, king of Aragon (June 27). Succeeded by his brother, John II (Juan II - why are some names of foreign monarchs anglicised unnecessarily?) Lazar Brankovic, Despot of Serbia (February 20). (Interesting title!) Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqu és de Santillana, a Spanish poet (March 25). Arthur III, Duke of Brittany (December 26). Isabelle Rom ée, mother of Joan of Arc. She had succeeded in having her daughter'

Let me tell you a story...

There were two women who lived next door to each other. The first woman owned a large 5 bedroom house, which she lived in with her teenage son and her adult daughter who was studying engineering at university. The second woman lived in a small 3 bedroom  house with her husband and four children. The two women knew each other by sight, and spoke briefly once or twice a week when putting their bins out or bringing them back in. One day the first woman knocked on the second woman's front door.
