desperanceSo if I can't drink alcohol, at least I can drink nice teas. I have decided it. This week-and-more shall be an extended exercise in drinking nice things that are not alcoholic.
So: actually I went to town feeling in need of a treat and determined to buy expensive kettle, in the interests of pursuing nice teas (see above). Only then I vacillated between the expensive one and a much cheaper model, and of course ended up buying neither.
But I did come home with a packet of tea new to me: it's a teahouse blend of congou, pu erh and jasmine. Which I am drinking as we speak. Turns out it is in fact possible to drink tea when one should really be drinking wine; it just feels like there's something, y'know. Missing. Like a jaw with a missing - oops. Bad simile, Brenchley.
Am tired now. In fact, to be honest, am shattered. And have done all too little of what I need to do. House is a tip. No surprise there, then. Sigh...
