@MaryMamuzich sweet

@MaryMamuzich comes from a town called Andover in Hampshire - we used to regularly drive past the factory, a number of years ago

Your Jerry goes up and up in my...even drinking the same tea I do...must have tremendous taste that man :-)

Something to lighten the day

@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
