@MaryMamuzich that looks a lot posher than the one we buy 🙂

Oddly, and I have no clue how I know this (my head is full of things that aren't all that helpful), but I had heard that some great tea comes out of Seattle...

My favourite brand is an English one - Twinings. I've tried supermarket own brands, but they usually go straight into the bin after my first mugful. I'm on decaf everything now (personal choice) and that makes it a little trickier.. earl grey decaf tea bags are not cheap, sadly

I can not source decaf loose leaf earl grey tea anywhere...

There are plenty of suppliers over here of tea (as you'd expect) but that's my personal favourite

For daily tea we use PG tips. Steven loves his mint tea, and we try to get it, loose, from another, smaller English company, called TeaPigs (they also do my very favourite herbal tea - Mint and Liquorice)

@MaryMamuzich so sweet she married her teddy bear 🙂

@MaryMamuzich 🤣

@Olamide @tymektt @tanjaostman yep. Tears are good for the soul 🙂

So I feel like an old man...but an old man with some colour :-) 🤣

At least I can get a little more independence, as the silver foil blister packs my pills come in, are a reliable source of me cutting myself...on blood thinners, that would be really rather unpleasant as it often takes me a good 10 minutes to stop the bleeding when my bleed is not being chemically thinned!!! Once my family load this bad boy up, I'll be able to safely take them myself!

Meanwhile the scary photo is me not shaving at the end of week 1

Hopefully, we'll get hair cuts this evening (once Jo finishes for the day) which may help with my appearance.....

...I said maybe!!

There's always hope 😂

@tanjaostman yes. There are people who have been snowed in, without power, for over a week now

We do get snow, but it is so uncommon, generally, that it always is quite a shock, and nobody is ever ready

We used to live in a house that was 250m above sea level, and we sometimes got snow like you are used to. I never even noticed that UK weather forecasts have two parts, until we lived there. One is the forecast, one is the forecast over 250metres above sea level...every day is a learning day

@tymektt @Olamide 😜 😂

@tanjaostman Peter was grateful for that image 🙂

@tanjaostman oh absolutely

@tanjaostman snow..............we don't get much

@tanjaostman they were simply called daylight bulbs

It's been a few years. I'm sure there's better technology now

@Olamide of course! 🙂

@tanjaostman cool. We sold a bulb that would fit in any normal light fitting. That's kind of cool!

@tanjaostman over here it is called SAD (Seasonal Adjustment Disorder).

Back when we had our eco shop, we sold the same thing you mentioned - it emitted a natural daylight, rather than then yellow light you tend to get from light bulbs

They seemed brighter, yet really weren't - just a better frequency of light

We sold them as they were cheaper to run than normal bulbs

@tanjaostman do you have anything to deal with the lack of sunlight on your skin?

@DevotionalTreasures Amen! Spot on!!

@Olamide conditional love...never good!

@Olamide what????? Sounds like there is some foolishness in that person

Your hair is awesome

@DevotionalTreasures @tanjaostman South Africa has had no serious cases from the latest variant, in fact, quite the opposite

I think your feelings on the vaccines is what I've seen echoed on the comments to many, recent, posts from Boris Johnson/10 @Downing Street

People have complied. But no more! They've had enough - the hypocrisy from MPs and world leaders has become ever more obvious and has fuelled people's defiance

That same south African doctor who first discovered bthe new strain is clear that it is time to learn to live with it, since we clearly can't manage or control it

And countries with, statistically speaking, 100% vaccinations are seeing huge spikes in covid cases...yet no one (publicly) is asking how that is even possible

Evil times, certainly, but the people are, Increasingly, realising that this is less to do with covid and more to do with control....

But, with Christ, we have a greater certainty, which is very worth knowing 🙂
