You know there wasn't an ounce of fat on him either, if I tried that my insulin resistance would be full on diabetes overnight. I think Mum will have made and drunk a few pots of tea before I get there and you made me giggle thinking about tea for builders and remembering how in England I had a cupboard full of mugs for workmen who came to the house (we were continually renovating) and lists of how they all liked their tea/coffee attached to the inside of the door - somethings are better about living in a maintained apartment! - Chris :DChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-41599337246339080132014-06-16T13:22:12.729-04:002014-06-16T13:22:12.729-04:00Ha, oh no Gertie sounds like you drink tea the way...Ha, oh no Gertie sounds like you drink tea the way they make it over here!!! I've perfected my own technique - I don't add milk and then walk 2 streets or 1 avenue and remove the tea bag - I've taken to drinking it black when I'm out and about as I can't bear milk added before the tea bag's removed and if they do it for me they always add too much. - Chris :DChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-14612423809807033862014-06-16T13:16:14.652-04:002014-06-16T13:16:14.652-04:00I'm okay Lin, I like Twinings English Breakfas...I'm okay Lin, I like Twinings English Breakfast and Earl Grey and that's in most supermarkets here but we have to get visitors to bring in Yorkshire Tea for Simon though we could order it on line if push came to shove.

He doesn't take milk or sugar either so making him a cup of tea is a very quick process. My father on the other hand takes 3, yes 3!!, teaspoons of sugar in a mug or tea, but is very fussy about the mug it has to be china, no thick ceramic mugs for him :) Hope your mum doesn't leaving your tea stewing for three weeks it will only be fit for builders!Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.com
