The one to go for is 'Pure Green Tea', the others have flavourings added (Ginger, Lemon etc,) and I wouldn't recommend them, about the best are the ones from ALDI, 59p for 40 unless you live near a Chinese supermarket.
Twinings are probably the worst I've tried, even the Co-op ones are nicer.

Gunpowder tea, where the leaves are rolled up into little balls, is good.

[edit] apparently, it's 60' wide.... that's a hell of a lot of water!

Puts the puddle, now dried up, in the local field in perspective.

Morning , another grey day.

I will be going quiet for a while .

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

That'll be take Bruphen or the other strong pain killer then tramadol ect..

... and come back in two to three weeks if it's no better.

Seriously, don't take the tramadol. This is from someone who was on it for 10 wasted years!

Schrodie is trying to fit into a cardboard shoe box ! He seems quite happy although cramped !

Another day with limited movement hopefully will be going the doctors later for advice

Better drugs , then you'll feel smashing, until the effects wear off.

It's not bad for a short amount of time. I managed to make a month's tablets last a couple of years. Strong stuff.

Officer, it's gunpowder tea, honest guv.

And highly addictive although a doctor never admitted that to me for years. The other chestnut was ‘but there’s nothing else you can take for the pain’. Utter rubbish. They give you whatever is cheapest.

If the rain doesn't arive early you've got time for a morning to ride.

Unfortunately that ugly 4 letter word gets in the way

Yes, I've done that, I much prefer normal hot cross buns, my Good Lady tried one and wouldn't have another one.

It's even worse than grabbing a packet of doughnuts only to find that they're Custard, or Apple, or, even worse...


JAMLESS!!!
