Daffodils don't come out up here until April.

...noon thirty here and only 35° under relatively clear skies. More water from the sky tomorrow (not sure what form) and lows still in the 20s with highs around 40° until Friday. Winter seems to have arrived here two months late (probably had to make a connection in Jakarta [world's worst airport with only a 35% on time factor])..
...looks like you are getting the early spring we enjoyed the last couple years where I am. We'll be lucky to see daffodils by the end of March with the lat winter e are experiencing here. there is forecast for more of the white stuff from the sky on Thursday, possibly this coming weekend, and next week Wednesday.
..big displays up at the Safeway in my neighbourhood. Meanwhile the Fred Meyer's a bit further away was selling out all the Valentines candy (none of the hearts with saying on them though except "sour flavoured" ones, never understood the fascination with sour candies, candy is supposed to be sweet).
...definitely my favourite.
remember tootti from facts of life?
When I want tea but don't have tea, I microwave a cup of water and pretend it's some exotic light tea.
I don't use tea bags, I use loose leaf tea, the old fashioned stuff, it has far more flavour. I have a teapot with a filter, so easy to dump the old tea leaves and start a new pot of tea.
brown betty?
brown betty shape, yes. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000GIXH2O/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2OLILUUKJJ1AZ&colid=3FFXRBCWEIOH2&psc=0
At home I never prepared a pot of coffee or tea. At work, yes. We always had one or two pots brewing at work but at home, for decades I've used instant coffee or bagged tea. HOWEVER, I'm very particular about the brand of instant coffee I put into my mouth. Some of it is absolutely horrible. Aghhh, gag me with a spoon! Once I found Folger's Instant Coffee it became my one and only despite being a little more expensive than the chemical cocktail the other companies produce. And, yes, I know Europeans, and American Starbucks groupies think coffee has to be made by hand in gold plated machines and curl your hair when drunk, but I'm not of that opinion.
And what's the deal with drowning your coffee with milk and poisoning it with sugar? My mother taught me that if I wanted to drink coffee I had to drink it black, no sugar, no cream so that I could tell when I got a good cup. All the time I was in Europe I tried desperately to find a good cup and it wasn't available. They'd look at you like you were crazy if you said "no milk".
I think the sugar and milk are to mask the horrible taste of their coffee. 
..we used to hae a chain of bagel shops here in Portland called Noah's they served "New York Coffee" (a "real" bottomless cup, not just one refill after which you had to pay again), a good "basic" coffee very reminiscent of what I used to get when I ordered cuppa joe at a cafe or deli in Manhattan Not "foofy", not bitter, not burnt, not "battery acid", just a clean and smooth cup.
Sadly they got taken over by another outfit which changed everything (including the coffee which they replaced with the typical cheap bitter acidic restaurant blend) as well as the quality and variety of bagels and schmears that made Noah's a local favourite. After the takeover I'd walk by the one in the Hawthorne district and there would maybe be a half dozen customers there at best whereas when while it was still Noah's, there was a line that sometimes went out the door even on a weekend afternoon.
Daffodils here must think it is April then?
Daffodils have memory. My mother always had daffodils around her house up here in NY State. Years later when I was living in Washington DC, 500 miles further south she gave me a bunch of her daffodil bulbs for us to plant in our yard. Around Washington the daffodils would come up all over town but ours in our yard were several weeks late. They remained late for as long as I was able to watch them (about 12 years). They were still on NY time.
And equally surprising, "clams got legs!"
Cor8ty in action
my pcs all ladies tee hee

...nice, makes me imagine what a duo 10 core Xeon system would look like in Carrara. 40 of those buggers on the screen at once.
When I get the gigabit hardwired router to network the two systems I have together, I'll have 20 tiles on the screen at once and 56 GB of memory to throw at the process. Bye bye swap mode.
...agh new weather alert for tomorrow: 2" - 3" of frozen water from the sky beginning just before the PM commute. That's enough to strike significant fear and stupidity into the hearts and minds of motorists here in Portland.
ixnay frozen water, Spring cometh sooneth.

This is true. KXAN local news has a meterologist that hitting about 70%, which for Central Texas is pretty dang good!
Complaint: 30 posts since I last looked! :-O
Non-complaint: Coffee and aspirin, they good.
I just went into sugar shock reading that... drool... :-/
Why are the buns cross? Did someone make them angry? :-P
Hot and cross sounds like a bad combination...
I normally wear Dockers, cheap and cheerful. I have one pair of true Levis work jeans, I swear I could wear them into the caldera of an active volcano and they'd survive. I expect they'll outlive me, dang things are TOUGH.
LOOL probably :-P
I'll likely do that next trip. I was already over my weight limit this trip, paid the price, but I'll eat good if it does decide to rain all week!
And I love beans and franks, a real staple when I was a widdle snakey.
We need to send you an electrically heated hoodie for trips out! That and heated socks and mittens. You'd look like an Inuit but you'd be warm. :-)
We had a Noah's in Sunnyvale. Damn thing was always crowded, but soooo worth the wait, lke you said, great coffee, and I used to spend hours there eating and people-watching.
This was about 10 years ago now.. probably a Starbucks now..
