Switching to herbal teas is fantastic. Gloriously fresh sleep, gloriously fresh healthy body and min.... gloriously fresh healthy body. Lovely taste and feelings, nicer for the kid to see as well. Everything about it is a win.
3 mins to go before the morning 30km cycle. Glorious. :yup:
Quite a recovery from your nervous breakdown a couple of weeks ago.
Just discovered I'll be a day late joining the abstinence, but I'm going all Lulu from the 2nd until November 1st.Quote:

I haven't seen such rationing of a bottle since Lu and his Buddhist Day bottle of Peter Vella. :)
she's not a heavy drinker :)
^^^ Why aside from pointless snobbery do you waste Dom on making sparkling fruit wine. Some prosecco would work - imo though champagne is awful stuff so adding fruit juice can only improve it.
^It is what she likes. Edit: She loves that Pineapple mimosa
I posted about how she used to drink Perrier-Jouet and mix it with orange juice, but when she tasted Dom Perignon with orange juice she thought it was much better.
I don’t drink, but to taste only.
I gave it a mis for 2 months and probably would of kept going but a mate I hadn't seen for over 20 years turned up, might do sober October? Gotta admit it was quite nice to stop daily drinking. The last time that happened was when I got sent to Sudan and fuckall choice
Lemongrass tea on the balcony watching mother nature go crazy. Don't have a couple of beers daily these days, it messes with my sleep.
I'm warming to this Sober October idea as I've had about 3 dry days in the last 3 years!
Be interesting to see if I can do it and what health benefits I get.
We'll be swimming to work if it keeps going like this.Quote:

Very chillaxing:)
The thread is called "what are you drinking today", not "I'm so rich I let my girlfriend spoil good champagne".Quote:

The only fruit juice left in the galley right now is apple and tomato (combined). I gave it a go and it was boggin. I added some L&P and Tabasco. Putrid.
Just found out at 40 that an Americano is just black coffee.
I'm pretty sure black coffee existed before Americans were around to name everything, I pretty sure it's older than Marca
I don't actually feel that great after 3 or 4 weeks off on a day-to-day basis.Quote:

Same here. The sleep is the big reason why I can never understands how a person functions each day after a couple/few every night.Quote:

Actually, it's not. An Americano is a shot of espresso with hot water added to it.Quote:

Black coffee is brewed and filtered, not diluted after.
It's a milky coffee , but not a latte:spin:
We need American input after all they're the experts on coffee.
Tea is another story. :UK:
It becomes milky, if you pour milk in that black coffee
:)
Capisce ?
Oh contraire, a latte is a milkier coffee!
:durh:
Nice.Quote:

Was having a spicy lunch today so prepped an ice lemongrass, jasmine and ginger tea.

Left to draw and cool, then strained over ice. Lovely.
Has nobody revoked your man card yet?
A real man embraces his inner lavender.
Oolong do you steep it though?Quote:

I am trying to save the Gelnfarclas opening for Xmas but as you have now recovered from brainfart must gargle it before your inspection tour or the annual Immigration drop in for a visa/aka raid my bar trip, oddly they never ask for any docs just soda and ice, I save my Black Lbel bottles and top up with 100 Pipers they know and smile knowingly at being gulled with regular rather than premium whiskeys and I know that they know I know, and so it goes.
As to coffee had all the gadgets , I now prefer use my drip filter as a kettle and hotplate then a double insulated steel unbreakable French press which yields a nice strong cup from fresh ground beans. No waste just rinse the grounds and ready to "PERK UP". The Bodrum Swedish classic glass is a beautiful design and cause of many accidents , deaths my anaesthatist explained they explode boiling liquid tread on glass knock bacon frying over the gas house burns down etc
If I need extra stimulation there's TD:smileylaughing:

Posh junkie.
Oh yeah brother, that's the good stuff right there.
Nah Oaks Park and the Dog Cafe Japanese travel there in droves, used to dog walk through the lavender dailyQuote:

Lavender in the UK is usually at its most vivid and aromatic from early June to late August. In other words, you've got a huge window of time to plan a visit to one of the country's most beautiful lavender fields
I've never seen this in Thailand before, and I never want to see it again, to be honest.
Still drunk it, though.

Gotta admit that the northerners won it tonight, although this wasn't great either.

I'll stick to the Leo in future.
I think we have the same glass.
