I posted on facebook about not getting a decent brew on holiday, my uncle replied that he takes his own tbags, I pointed out that not all rooms had a fridge and it was too hot even for small pots of milk so he suggested powdered milk. So I replied, you are suggesting I put a bag of white powder in my suitcase? How long do you think customs would like to chat to me about that

Green (Chinese) Tea, best without milk (or indeed sugar) tastes like tea (unless you buy the flavoured ones) and @The Velvet Curtain knows where the Chinese shop that sells it is (teabags too under the 'Sea Dyke' brand)

True, and we did have green tea on the first day, but it's not the same as a mug of builder's.

I have tried but cannot acquire the taste.

True, but, I've got bad sinuses so cutting down on 'Dairy' is a good idea but I love Cheese so I always had black Coffee or Tea with Lemon juice, for me Green Tea has been a revelation and I rarely drink any other 'Hot Beverage'
However it does make a heck of a drink with a drop of Gin in it, not a lot but a single measure in a cup just hits the spot 'mid-afternoon'. (but don't tell @Hill Wimp or @hopless500 .)

We seem to have a lot of black tea locally, I drink it to the exclusion of coffee. My stomach isn't really fond of coffee anymore. 4 pages of dietary modifications and restrictions after last visit with the sawbones.

Never mind snacks and beverages.
I didn't quite manage to get a haircut yesterday.
Markets didn't plummet, nuclear bombers were not re-tasked, and fortunately, ice shelves didn't fall into the sea.
I'll ring for an appointment later.

Please be careful not to raise your blood pressure. They say it's a killer.

Badly missing a little friend...

About to collect wedding cake for my little sister's wedding on Sunday. She's getting married in the UK. I thought I'd join in and have my own cake made up for her marriage by a vegan cafe that is excellent. She doesn't know yet... Chocolate and raspberry... My two favourite ingredients. Chocolate head held and should continue to help the first paragraph!

Looks like rain.. which is a damn bad show for a Friday

 

[EltonFrog]

Where's @Hill Wimp, is she still trying to get up Streatley Hill?

Good morning, Coventry's dark and damp this morning. We're travelling again today, we tackle the north face of the M6 this morning, this afternoon we tackle the south face.

 

[summerdays]

Damp here but it's the first rain we have had for ages... But not in sufficient quantities to make any difference to the garden or water butts.
