Time for another coffee?

I have finally managed to get my hayfever symptoms under control.

Usually I can cope without much in the way of meds during the elderflower season, but not this time.

Our teapot takes just about 600ml of water.

Much too small.

That's only two cups of tea.

My teapot takes four times that.

Aha, yes, but here's the cunning part: when I use British teabags I can pour a mug and then refill the teapot.

It only works with British teabags though, German "tea" is too weak.

Besides, there's a limit to how much tea a chap can drink in a day and still travel on public transport without immediate access to a bog.

Fourth wireless doorbell in 15 years. It had better work. I paid good money for it.

We have a, rather old but operative, wired one. Only problem was it couldn't be heard in parts of the house. I discovered you could get a device that would ring wireless bells. Problem solved.

More likely in the north and east than here: Wolves are slowly making their way from France but they keep getting hammered on the Autobahn running along the border.

Wolves coming from Poland or the Czech Republic have been about for some time though.

I've always thought that about the French too.
