Window onto a mirrorless land

You'd never tell I was just listening to Peter Gabriel form my title. Just a random thought from my nog. I thought I'd start a blog, as an outlet for my rantings, confusions, ravings and anything else that I need to set free.
First up is a word of confusion on the importance of the choice of mug to drink ones tea from. I bought a china mug today and have been giving it its inaugural flights up to my chinny-chin-chin (I know inaugural ought to be singular). I have noticed how quickly it cools down in this cup. It is quite wide rimmed at the top but I suspect it radiates out quite a bit of heat. I'm not saying this is a negative quality through and through, manys a time I have left a near full cup at my bedside as I am too tired to wait for it to cool down. However perhaps more often than not I like to sip my tea slowly which requires it to be kept at a high temperature for longer. It is light and rings out fairly well. However I think I will be trying out my non fine china mugs even though they don't have a 'funky flower' design on them (which I still can't tell whether it is slightly too feminine for my tastes - I do like the black and white effect and the wierd shaped handle which is brilliant in fact....)
I feel better already for that.
I'm glad I started this blog. I hope you are too.

With such a riveting and relevant initial, or should I say 'inaugural' blog, all about a mug for drinking tea, I can't conceive how the 'blogging' world survived this long without you.
