Are these insect droppings on my tea cake? I am worried because the wrapper is all torn up in a way that makes me think of bug bites. It's probably just tea dust though, right??? #puer #teasky #dumbquestions

Just had to explain fish pedicures to #puer and I now feel very old.

Question for my 19th century literature people based on a conversation with #puer: would a trilogy of books be the contemporary equivalent of the Three Volume Novel so central to The Importance Of Being Earnest?

I'm watching through with #puer because apparently you can never have too much Traitors. We're quite behind but I am All For More Siobhán. (Yes, we watched the most recent episode of Pottery Throwdown just before our next Traitors episode this evening, what of it.)

#puer is already rejoicing far too much at how near he is to being my height. I am... not impressed.

I wonder how much they have to pay in royalties every time they pull that one.

Morning! This morning is all about the teaching and admin, and then this afternoon I want to get back to research if I possibly can... the big job is reading a draft PhD chapter.

In other news, #puer has outgrown almost all of his long-sleeved tops while I wasn't looking.

There's a reason #puer is #puer.

#puer has given up on the parade of nations so we're on the snowboarding Big Air qualification run from Day -1 until they've made progress.

MULTICOLOURED ROMANS, WHAT.

#puer: "this is getting weird."

#puer is unaccountably fascinated with the Winter Olympics so here we are, parked in front of the opening ceremony coverage. #puer is confused about why it is on BBC2. I don't quite like to explain.

Yes, I too was very struck by the extremely retro visual language here!

(#puer just went 'look, it's Wuthering Heights!' as we've been listening to lots of podcasts about the Brontes lately.)

#TinyJoys is introducing #puer to Red Dwarf and hearing the resulting giggles.

What has made you smile today?

A cup of dark tea reflecting the books on the shelf behind it sits next to a black jianshui teapot, white ceramic owl & bear figurines, and a pinecone shaped lit candle.

It was Ms. White Owl, in the library, with shou pu’er.

What has made you smile today.

Don't think we've seen the Gladiator Selector before, have we? Sweet, although #puer cynically observes that 'obviously these are all predetermined'. Could it be? Bring me my fainting couch. #Gladiators

Oh dear. #puer has just said he's getting Mattie and Harriet vibes from the gentlemen competitors. We have series contamination. #Gladiators #TheTraitors

Snow storm day. A small brown teapot with no lid sits in a bath of shou puer tea, within a blue ceramic dish. All around is snow. In the background, a tuft of winter grass sticks up.

I return to this picture often in winter, when needing a moment of calm. The pot broke a few years back. My dad made the blue dish in his beginners pottery class. May you find a moment here or there for yourself, and even more importantly, with your people.

#puer has been watching them and the 'making of' video/podcast thing, and on that basis, I think you're in for a treat!

1979 Guang Yun Gong. This tea is clean, but not excessively deep or complex. Thick, not coating, mineral forward, no wet other than steep one, and the structure is weird and unfamiliar. There is a hint of medicine. I'm so confused by this tea, and I love it

#teasky #gongfucha #puer

drank it again. pine crane is a jia tuo. its fun. works gong fu or western(-ish). rich, thick, dark, bitter, sweet, surprisingly potent despite the intense storage. still dont 'get' it, but first factory puer I could say I enjoyed.

#puer has been exposed to The Problems With ChatGPT since I started having to mark work generated with it, and given the ways he's *still* not got the message that it and other genAI generate utter trash, I'm really worried for kids who don't have parents that are alert to the problems.

trying to get to grips with xiaguan tuocha. this is a tw natural 04 Jiaji. subsided smoky, sweet, pungent and bitter. slight vanilla. choppy. harsh on the body. gotta keep practicing brewing. really feels like anhua heicha, especially that smoke into vanillic note
