Pinky-blue cloud-covered sky with a bit of pale blue peaking from the bottom left hand corner. Both left and right corners are also full of tree-tops’ snow-covered bare-of-leaves branches.

As the day moves on, I go from coffee to London fog and eventually to tisane. I can use the frother for London fogs!
White cup with an image of a pastoral farm, lounging cow in the foreground, fence, field, trees, and house in the background set on granite oven top, containing frothed milk London fog beverage.

Dammit, I don’t care it’s 27C, I’m eating this amazing butternut squash soup I made, gleaming forehead or not.
