Drinking tea

Well.. I am sitting at in the  kitchen, drinking tea, put my eyes into on the internet and waiting for a connection. My wife is already sleeping, my daughters have been sleeping for 3 hours  now, so I am along alone. Raindrops outside my window are knocking* silently and seldom. I am drinking tea. The hot cup warms my hand and I am thinking... My thoughts are fly away and jump like sunbeams from one thing to another.

I'm not sure what word you mean here, but knocking doesn't seem right....dripping perhaps.

Enjoy your peace and quiet! :-)
