The reason I'm dithering around posting about teabags 🫠

I just wrote a really long post about teabags but realised it was spectacularly dull. Basically the TLDR is that I didn't use to believe any tea was particularly superior until we ran out of Yorkshire teabags.

Not least because the Zither carol is on it. ZINGGGGG!

A Brief History of Kids Today Have It Easy

🧵

damn these kids, sitting on easy street there with their 'going to school' scam

Did they die? Or did they conspire to commit the perfect crime, with the perfect alibi?

Last night I went to a "paint and sip" night and was made to paint a picture of an elephant. I didn't want to paint an elephant and I will never have the picture up. Sipping bit was decent though.
