Stirring My Afternoon Tea

Sitting here stirring my afternoon tea. Earl Grey is my favourite, so that it must be. With the fragrance of Bergamot filling the air, recollections at Grandma's house take me right there. She'd brew up a pot, serve cookies and cake, or sometimes a Cadbury's chocolate flake. So that's why Earl Grey is my first choice of tea, for it brings back dear memories of Grandma and me.

Hi Ann, It is lovely to hear from you and thank you for stopping by to read my afternoon tea. I'm so happy you love the photo of my sweet little Elle. Photos and memories are all I have left of her now, as she left this world on Nov 1st. I have not been myself since her departure as every place in my home is a reminder that she is no longer here.

Apparently the crew could just put the used dishes back into the replicator and they would be beamed away. The replictor was a matter converter that could synthesis both organic and inorganic materials via rearrangement of subatomic particles. The particles were then stored for future use.

I was always curious what they did with all the replicated cups, bowls, plates etc.
