I seem to have provoked a lot of responses regarding tea. Thank you - I now don't have to think up anything new to blog about today.
Fineline - I confess to being too lazy to use tea leaves on a regular basis. When someone invents a self-cleaning/easy-cleaning teapot I may think again. Regarding gunpowder - I have not tasted it either and I imagine that Lapsang is somewhat more thirst quenching. Am I imagining it, or is there a type of tea that is called gunpowder?
Ian - Perhaps there should be a support group for people who can't make tea.
Daisy - no I haven't tried Dragonfly tea. I will look out for it. If I find that it has little wings in, I may pass.
Bimble - Hurrah! An ally in the crusade against fake tea.
Dith - (1) Snigger. Daft puns will always go down well here. (2) Kippers? If you say so. I have not had kippers for many years, due to a deep dislike of small bones.
In other news: I cycled to work today! I didn't quite get to the office, which is at the top of a very steep hill, but I got to within 5 minutes walk of it where there are some cunningly placed cycle racks. On walking into the building with my helmet, I got lots of kudos. It only took about 10 minutes to get here so more sleep in the mornings for Farli.
Coming soon on Cabbages and Kings:
Life lessons I have yet to learn - adventures in moving house with a big van and some removal men. Help.
