Tea? (Part 1)

[wafflycat]

Russian Caravan tea sounds quite seductive, what are its properties?

I feel dead scummy now as I am drinking fizzy pop.
What will the neighbours say.

Black, China tea blend of err.. Keemun, Oolong, lapsang & possibly a hint of darjeeling. Delicate. Hint of smoke. Can be drunk black or with a little milk.

 

[TheDoctor]

That sounds nice! A large mugfull please. I need something to make the world seem a better place. Or maybe a different place.

 

[Speicher]

Is it time for a hug? I thought it was just me not feeling in the least bit well. A gentle hug mind, none of those bear hug thingies.

 

[TheDoctor]

I'd love one thanks. Have one back too.

Sorry to hear the pain is not much better, Speicher.

 

[wafflycat]

Oh dear. Group truss required?

 

[TheDoctor]

TBH I'm not sure it would help, Waffles. But thanks for the thought. I've got myself into a ...slightly awkward position, to say the least. It may all be OK tomorrow, but maybe not.

 

[wafflycat]

Oh dear. Well whatever it is, I hope it all resolves *positively* in a good way

 

[TheDoctor]

I hope so too. I'm just...somewhat unsure about a whole load of things I thought I was certain about earlier today.
Maybe I just need to sleep on it, and see how the situation looks in the morning. It just seems a bit overwhelming tonight. It's been one of *those* days.

 

[tdr1nka]

What's brought about this change in thinking Doc'?
This doesn't sound like you.

 

[TheDoctor]

It's not really something I feel comfortable talking about in public as yet, mate. A somewhat difficult situation that's been a fair while in the brewing, and it all came a bit unexpectedly to the fore this morning.
Sorry, I'm talking in riddles here.

 

[tdr1nka]

M8 don't worry, sorry if I was being intrusive.

I'm in Agony Uncle mode as I've been a friedly ear to 3 friends with troubles in the last two days. The real irony being that in the last two days I've had a small epiphany, an unexpected burst of motivation and have started looking into training for a total career change.

 

[TheDoctor]

Not at all. Thanks for the concern.

What's this career change then? Are you thinking of taking up counselling?

 

[tdr1nka]

Not counselling although it has crossed my mind
I may be one of the few that has had to have serious counselling and not then gone on to study psychology.

I'm looking into become a cycling instructor!
Ms tdr1nka's Headmistress is keen for the school to help with the funding in order to retain an instructor for the school and another local business woman wants to set up a cycle club and training for 'new to commuting' adult cyclists as well as maintenance classes.

Everyone is being incredibly positive and it would suit me down to a t(EA).
ChrisKH & Mickle have been enormous help too.

 

[TheDoctor]

Oh, that's brilliant! Well done. I'm sure you'd be great!
Right, I'm off to the local election count. I could do without TBH but needs must.

Laters!

 

[Night Train]

Hope things are ok Doctor, whatever it is.

My throat is really annoying me, I can hardly swallow. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and I can be better again.

Right I am brewing up.
