Thick cut. I don't like fine cut.

Don't your fag papers get soggy?

I use Licorice Papers, on a slightly 'muggy' day they all stick together anyway.

I'm trying to decide whether or not I should eat the packet of liquorice all-sorts that I have

Or not eat them ..... If you read this first

And little did I realize .....
Man dies after eating bag of licorice every day for a few weeks

My morning tea was disappointing. It tasted stewed from the first mug.

Two teaspoons of Darjeeling second flush tea leaves ..... 90 seconds in just-boiling water ..... bliss!

Just one more early shift to go then a weekend off. I'm not a morning person and after 6 consecutive days of my alarms going off at 05:30 the walking dead are showing more signs of life than me.

My problem seems to be that it sometimes tastes so different. Same amount of water, same blend, same number of spoonfulls, same temperature, probably the same time of sparrow's fart, but different tasting tea. Coffee's no more predictable but as one is bound to be better than the other a good coffee morning often rescues a bad tea morning.

Mmmmmm... Lovely supper...

Jacket potato with the last of the veggie curry, then apple crumble and custard.

I used five different varieties of apple - bramley, james grieve, egremont russet, jonagold and summat I foraged from a hedgerow that I suspect might be cox's orange pippin.

Empty the kettle and replace with fresh water. It may have had too much boiled out of it.

Speaking of kettles...

One last for me tonight.

Mine's English Breaksfast (loose leaves, but in one of those doodads you put in your mug) and steeped for about 5 minutes.

That'd be a Dooda in these parts.

Tea has been drunk, so I'm heading off to bed via a hot bath.

Hang in there. 05:30 is my normal alarm time, but I am very much a "morning person" and tend to struggle by ten in the evening...

Who needs alarms!
