Porphyry - you had me reaching for the dictionary there- nice choice!
Great answers, great to get to know you better, with love from one beer drinking woman to another ;-)(yesm only wine at a push!)

Great meme. I love beer too, sadly it no longer loves me. But I'd die without a cup of tea, really labourer stuff, like they used to drink out of golden syrup tins.

apprentice said...

grr real, sorry!

A cup of tea is how I usually start the day.

I like it strong too "tar to pave the road" as my Granny used to say!

'Spoon stander'my granny said. Grandad called his pint 'sunshine juice' - funny how things stick down the years!

Fascinating list - and porphyry - there's tons of that beautiful colour in the Louvre in Paris.
