Week 109

Thereās a new product called āTwinings Dark Mintā tea, part of the āTwinings Dark Collectionā. Unlike usual āpeppermint teaā, which a pedantic bore will call a tisane cos itās not made from any part of the tea plant, itās black tea with some added mint. Maybe itās very nice if prepared properly, but I treated it like peppermint tea and was so disgusted by the stewedness that Iām sorry to say I discarded the whole box. Please donāt make the same mistake.

Got one of the government-funded free-at-the-point-of-use lateral flow test kits, because who doesnāt like something thatās free. You get a pack of seven. Well, itās jolly difficult to shove a swab all the way up oneās nostrils. Maybe mine are peculiarly ticklish. Anyway, I tested negative, you know, āpositively toward negativeā (sorry), which is good; now there are six more opportunities to see how deep the nostrils are.
