Morning all, a bit late on parade this today. I picked MrsP up from Luton airport in the early hours of the morning,0100 hrs to be precise, didn't get home from there until 01.30, so a bit of a lie in.
A drizzly misty, murky day here, forecast to be like it for a few days now..

I've just ordered a couple of these tea infusers as I have got fed up with tea bags. I used to use loose tea years back. Also because most teabags are made of plastic, and after several years in the compost heap still look like teabags. The leaves will end up on the compost heap. I also have a teapot and a strainer, but for one cup I thought these might be a good idea as I am going back to loose tea..

+1 for loose tea.
May be too late to help, but I've been happily using this type for many a year.

Moved the flower and shrub tubs from the side of my front path and tidied it up a bit as snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells will be emerging soon in that area.
Started raining so continued by rationalising my tools which are a bit scattered. Got a large commercial type toolbox for this. Tho’ I knew where they all were nobody else would so decided to gather everything in one place as one day somebody would have the job of clearing the place out and it would make their task easier. Trouble is that we had a manufacturing workshop which had a tool kit, ditto the domestic tool shed, boat, motorhome and house so multiples of everything. Cannot be bothered selling with the problems of time wasters in particular so the local charity shop can have all the surplus. Have also had several trips to the dump and my wheelie bin is full.
