Magnetic personality, 2019 edition
I haven’t moved since I posted “Magnetic personality” in 2008, but my refrigerator was replaced with a newer model in a different location after an apartment remodeling. Not too long ago, I finished redecorating it with magnets I’d found recently. Here we go:

I see incontrovertible evidence that this refrigerator belongs to a tea drinker.
That’s 1/1000th of the tea (and coffee and hot cocoa) collection. SAD!
