Today's morning tea ... Twinings French Earl Grey tea with some Christmas-themed sugar cookies from IGA.
Glass vases with mixed garden flowers, herbs and foliage in them, a tiny dome with a bat skull in it, a white planter in the shape of Edgar Allan Poe's head with a fern in it, crystal geodes, a clay heart inside a glass dome, a small white ceramic dish with two small, Christmas-themed sugar cookies on it (one a choc-drizzled star and the other a bell sprinkled with sugar), and a glass tea cup filled with orange-coloured tea, all arranged on a black tabletop.

Beautiful red Callistemon bottlebrush flower spotted on my travels this week.
Detail of a deep crimson red bottlebrush flower surrounded by greenery. Each of the red filaments radiating out from the stem are tipped with a pale yellow dot of pollen. It reminds me of a firework frozen in motion.

Fancy Saturday breakfast.
French Toast (made using a slice of chocolate Shokupan) with a drizzle of pistachio cream, topped with a red fruit salad (cherries, raspberries, and strawberries). Sitting on a green-pattern side plate, with a fork and knife situated on either side of it. Everything sits on a floral placemat.

Today's afternoon tea ... Australian Rainforest black tea with a loaded caramel choc-chip cookie from Mrs Browne Bakes (which was delicious, but I'm pretty sure contains three days' worth of calories).
