same! Also a mix of dried dandelion, burdock and ginger roots make an awesome tea

I'd not thought of that, I'll have to give it a go.

It was a really sweet episode of Doctors :)

tamobhuuta Doctors is on next Tuesday so it's only Monday it's not on

Thanks insig. How are you?

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta.

Morning guys

morning

Morning Hazel
How are you?

better than yesterday, though I have discoved that my new PRN has some nasty side effects :laugh: but I have FINALLY got a psych assesment date so hopefully will FINALLY be getting something beyond meds and monthsly GP calls


how are you today?

Fingers crossed!

I'm ok thanks.

Hi everyone

Hi tamo
How are you?

Spasming majorly!
Any plans?

Hello all. My postcard to Russia arrived today. It only took about 2 months.

That's really cool.

Plus I had a card from France arrive today.

Cool. How's your day going?

It's ok thanks. Had an amazon parcel which contained paint (the sort you paint pictures with not house paint) and a personal care product.

Hurray for parcels :)

Morning everyone
I actually had breakfast this morning for some reason
And I've just showered!

sounds like a productive morning so far

Good start Cacoethes .

Thanks guys!

What have you both been up to?

I got up at 9.15am which is very early for me. I was too hungry to lie in. Now I'm having coffee.

L bought me some M&S hot chocolate, it tastes posh.

so far this morning I have taken the bin out and turned the laptop on... to say I have been up since 7 I really should have dne more but I have no idea what to do

oh, and made some danelion, burdock and hawthorn tea. Which I am currently drinking

Is there something you would like to do?

What's the tea like?

I'm really impressed by all your nature teas Hazel!

hard to describe the taste to be honest... bit like a mild root beer


the fun of being taught herbalism at the young age :laugh: my Gran was very into herbal remadies when I was a kid and it's only grown in me into a love of foraging


and not really sure what I want to do... in one of those restless but unmotivatied moods. Might go for a walk later, looks like it might rain soon so will wait until after that

The only things my mum ever made was an elderflower drink, rosehip juice and i think also dandelion and burdock.
I didn't like any of them as a child!

oh i love elderflower :P





I just had a loose leaf tea delivered and they sent a different one to what I ordered... sent them an email so will have to see what happens

My dad buys loose leaf tea over the Internet.

its annoyingly hard to get anywhere else to be honest. I m certain shops used to sell it... like normal supermarket type shops, no tth espciailist pricey shops that I have to go into town for :laugh:



I wouldn't mind, but they;ve sent a chai... I'm not keen on chai

I'll have it I love chai.

the tea people have replied to my email, they are sending the tea I actually ordered and an extra free small sample of a third tea and said to keep the incorrect tin!

So I will soon have ALL the tea




so that's all good, I hate contacting customer services so had to really force myself to email them...



I can see where the confusion came from, I had ordered "gingerbeer tea" (which is rooibos tea with ginger, lemon and lime) and a sample bag of gignerbread chai to try out of curiousity. And they basically sent a sample plus a tin of the chai. So I think they just saw ginger and got mixed up.

Free tea?
I watched doctors, Valerie might be an HCA.

I had homemade pizza for dinner!

i'm making scrambled eggs :)

I don't like scrambled eggs, I don't know why.

Full disclosure is was meant to be an omelette

Ah well...

I like omelette but have never made one.

i used to keep chickens and my stepdad worked on a potato farm. As such I can make basically any egg or potato based foods :laugh:

Morning guys,

We're having our radiators replaced next week so I'm having to clear out my office and it's soooo tedious.

I'm meant to be clearing out all the kitchen cupcoards today, they are such a chaotic mess





I am still working through orange is the new black, and I would just like to say that season 7 and the immigration stuff is genurinely heartbreaking... like seriously I cant remember the last time a TV programme mae me cry :laugh:



I am going to need to find something lighter after this :P

Morning everyone.

Morning Tamo, how are you?

I'm doing a bit better thank you. How are you?

Morning guys

I was woken up for meds then covid swab. Ugh.
Back in bed now where I'll likely stay for the rest of the day

I'm sorry you're feeling so low Beckie.

Leaving hugs x
