The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I was a tea drinker all my life (just one cup 1st thing)........ until I bought a coffee pod machine and coffee has now replaced my cuppa.
Having just re-read this I have decided that tomorrow I go back to tea.

I sleep so badly I just wondered if I stopped the coffee if it might help. I'll maybe persevere for a bit longer, but if there's no difference, I think I will be back on the coffee. I don't really like the feeling of being slightly addicted to coffee, but I suppose as Drago says, limit to around 3 cups per day isn't actually too bad.

I hate tea. Can't even stand the smell of it.

I have always been a coffee drinker. I have no idea what I would do if I couldn't have coffee.. It. Does. Not. Compute.

Morning all. Mrs GM is what I would call a coffee snob. She has to have a certain bean from a coffee shop in Covent Garden beginning with M, I don't mind because sometimes she sends me down there to get some, it makes a nice little ride there and back.
Helping the boy out this afternoon with a bit of decorating as he needs to finish the job by Friday, make a change to get my hands dirty again.

Gonna walk Mini D to school, walk muttley, and then a nice bike ride over to Newport Pagnell to see a chum.

Morning from Milan. Another sunny day. We are getting the train up to Como at 11.49 and then the fast ferry to Menaggio.
On the coffee front I am really a tea drinker, but I do like a proper cup of coffee, not that instant stuff. Here in Italy the coffee is wonderful.

The coffee is Italy is indeed great. Unfortunately, the national dish is a large slice of toast with cheese, tomato, and various random bits of diced up roadkill sprinkled atop it.

I don't care as long as it is pizza.

Mmmmmm, porridge seems particularly nice this morning. Maybe the tablespoon of sugar! lol I don't enjoy it the same without.

Good morning stinkies.
I'm a tea drinker.
I drink about 3 cups of coffee a week, sometimes less.

I drink Barleycup which is a lovely cereal drink without caffeine. Makes no difference. In fact, I sometimes think I sleep better after a coffee.

I can't remember when this started. Been several years now. Maybe the menopause. Who knows. It's not that I'm sleepy and can't drop off, but that I hardly ever get sleepy!
