I often have a couple of cups of tea a day - earl grey if I'm feeling miserable and in need of the boost that the bergamot provides. I'm not one for starting my day with a brew - preferring the energy giving burst of a glass of orange juice. However, when I have a cold my tea consumption multiplies, and so I'm nursing an earl grey already. I'm not convinced by the brand I recently bought - it seems a bit dishwatery, although maybe that's due to the cold affecting my taste buds.
I've worked out that next week there is excitement every evening, what with me finally getting round to sorting my son his birthday drumming lessons, a fireworks night, and we have an Abba party to look forwards to moreso than the dentist visit. Quite when the homework is going to get done I don't know. So I feel a quiet weekend will make sense, getting myself better before the onslaught of the week. I'm glad that for part of the weekend I just have the one child as that's all my capacity feels up to. But it might mean that child has plans for our special time just the two of us, that are more energetic than I'd like. Let's hope not.
If you don't get a cuppa made for you this weekend, I hope you get to find someone who would appreciate you making one for them. Even if it's a neighbour out sweeping up leaves. Spread the tea people, spread the love.
still feeling a bit sorry for myself - not only still harbouring lurgies, but tripped over the dog and fell down the stairs so bit bruised and battered too. We've roasted copious amounts of pumpkin that we will now turn into soup, and i'm very much hoping to curl up with my boy in front of the fire for an evening of board games and Tv-from-my childhood. I've picked out Jamie and the magic torch, Paddington, the Wombles, Bagpuss, The Mr Men and Hong Kong Phooey. Here's hoping!!
