Whilst we wait long, long for tea tasting, I like to suggest coffee tasting. This is my favorite brain food. Latest scientific research has shown a direct beneficial effect to even brain desease such as Parkinson.

I take my coffee black. I have no trouble sleeping. No, I don’t mean Starbucks. I am thinking of tasting different beans straight out of the roasters. No kiddie milky stuff.

Hello everybody,

I’m Mary, in my fifties. I’m a teacher, but am doing only short term teaching, so I have quite a bit of free time to do as I please. The problem is, I prefer to have friends to do things with. I enjoy travelling and used to do so with my two daughters, but it’s not convenient now as they have their own agenda although they do try to spend as much time as they can with me. I also enjoy dancing a little, especially social dancing, but there again, I need a partner. Anyone interested?

What do I teach? English and Phonics. English to primary and secondary school kids and phonics to little kiddies in a phonics centre.

Where have I travelled to? I’ve been to Australia, India, France, The Philippines, Japan, Thailand mostly on conducted tours, West Malaysia, Bali, Bintan, Batam on short relaxing trips but the place I have been to the most frequently is New Zealand. I started off on conducted tours, both North and South Islands and later, free and easy when I got to know the place better. I would love to visit China and Europe as well as some places in the US, especially Hawaii and to go on a cruise some day. Oh yes, I haven’t been on a real cruise yet!

I only learnt to swim and cycle in my forties and to dance (line dance) in my fifties. Talking about late bloomers, Up till then,I had been too busy taking care of the family, bringing up my girls and teaching and the free time I had was spent on sedate activities, like craftwork of which I have lots of evidence of , all in storage now.  Hopefully one day they will be appreciated, that is if they are still in good condition by then.

Well, I better keep this short or you might lose interest in my rambling. I hope to get some response. Then I can begin to make some new friends. Write soon,

Have a great day!

Mary

Hi to All,

Glad to join the club recently.   I enjoyed your sharings and comments on the posts amongst which there are many common interests.

I am single with three teenage children.  Work has always taken me away leaving very little time for social activities.  I wish to take things a little easy now and I would like to meet new frenz and join in the fun.  This is a fabulous platform and I look forward to participating in the respective activities.

Hello, skating enthusiasts,

I posted my response to you at Outdoor Activities, having decided that I posted my earlier comments in Forum, which might not be appropriate. I was also  not allowed to cut and paste, so, I’m inviting you to read my response at Outdoor Activities, in case some of you think that I had not responded to your queries about this Sunday.
