But no Earl Grey, please. 😉

What's wrong with Earl Grey. I would drink it only for the name... 'Earl Grey'... someone who drinks that must be sophisticated :-).

And you never tried Constant Comment. I also have English Breakfast, Oolong, Chai Spice, and one other kind but I forget what.

I've never encountered (before) a female who had that dream, but many of my male friends have talked about it, not knowing of each others. at some point we noticed that it seems to be quite usual dream for a certain type of men. record shop dreams are alike, but I've never heard a woman expressing a wish to open a record shop.

My dreams haven't necessarily been specifically about second-hand bookshops, more about surrounding myself with books in general. A home with bookshelves everywhere, getting lost in a Borges-type library, being a monk (now I am being sexist myself 😞) working in a medieval library...

Well yes, the name is nice... And Picard drinks it... But it tastes like soap.

Yes... a monk in a Medieval library... like in 'Name of the Rose' :-)

Exactly. And there's the Borges connection again. 🙂

I have seen that many times in the supermarket or in cafés, but have never dared to try. Does it taste like shampoo?
