Tea? (Part 2)

[gavgav]

Made I laugh.

It's a pulled muscle in my thigh and I was in a bike shop at the time (looking at the Brooks saddles). Guess what I've bought even though I can't really afford it?

I shouldn't laugh but . I have always thought shopping a very dangerous past-time!!

It certainly is for the wallet. I hope I've made a good decision this time!

Green tea is good for arthritis

Couple of years ago I decided to join the green tea brigade for a new coffee detox me.
Because I don't like it, I bought lots of different flavors to make me like it
Still in my cupboard: after a few days of drinking gallons of the stuff I was feeling a bit queasy ... overdose perhaps?

Fingers crossed. Will be interested to see what you make of it. Fab news on Jen getting a bike!!

Greetings!
Where's my double espresso?
Got to post this, as I cannae believe what happened today
Went to the doc for some x-ray results - thought I'd damaged my thumb at work, the wee cheeky sod said no damage, got the onset of arthritis "expected in anybody over the age of 45"
Never heard the likes of it: I told him in no uncertain term that I am nifty at 50 (can he no see the cycle helmet I was carrying??) and that I would talk to him again in 10 years time, my usual time gap between appointments

Don't take it personally. In osteological terms, yes, there is damage to be expected in people once middle age sets in. As an archaelogist, there are various methods for ageing a skeleton - tooth eruption and epiphyseal fusion* are two, but are only useful until the age of about 18. After that, you have to judge age by the level of wear and tear - both on teeth and joints. Arthritic damage isn't a comment on your health, it's just something that's likely to happen sooner or later.

*we are born with bones made mostly of cartilege. Bone forms from one or more points in the middle and ends (the epiphyses), which is how bones are able to grow, as once they are fully bone, they can't grow any more. The order and timescale in which bones finish growing is fairly standard, so you know if you find a certain bone still unfused, that person hadn't reached that age before they died. The process is normally complete at abut 18 years old.

Anyway, NT is on his way home , after a cracking dinner of tuna and sweetcorn puff pastry slice .

Yup, she seems quite excited by it and has already drawn up a list of improvements she wants to make.

Slacker!!

My variation on the fast diet has gone for a burton, can't seem to get myself in the right frame of mind any longer, was going so well a few weeks ago too.

Do whatever works for you - I'm going to do Tue/Fri/Sun this week to 'catch up'!

I'm back ....lots of waiting, two huge traffic jams, 30 miles round trip and nearly five hours of driving. I could do with a

All sucessful I trust?

Green tea

And by the way Karl Marx didn't like it either. He said all proper tea is theft

Ha - I beat you to it - my sisters arrived on Friday bearing miscellaneous boxes containing 320 Yorkshire tea bags and I commented that they had made a big investment in the proper tea market!

I offloaded 120 bags of PG Tips to my sisters, having decided that I didn't like them; the tea bags, that is! I needed 2 bags per mug to get enough flavour and even then I preferred the Yorkshire tea.

(PS I think a mix of Yorkshire tea and green tea is rather nice.)

 

[ColinJ]

Which reminds me - I fancy a mug of Yorkshire tea to go with the remaining chocolate rations from the family visit. I don't want chocolate lying about the house tempting me on my delayed fasting day ...

If someone gave me PG Tips, I would wonder what I'd done to upset them

 

[Speicher]

One eye done...and all seems to be fine, thanks

The other eye will be done in a month's time ....perhaps I could be unblocking Wol's drains that day and buying her lots of biscuits and cake.

Actually, it was just one sister. I did ask if she liked them before I handed them over.

But I agree - it's the last time that I buy 160 bags of something for the price of 80 when I dislike them so much that I'd rather have 40 for the price of 80!

Just reminded me, Yorkshire tea is on offer at Tesco and I forgot to pick a box up earlier
