Other Germans do it better.
That’s hot 🥵
It may have been ugly hot and steamy today but it was perfect weather for an ebike ride. That sun and humidity would suck on a normal bike but on an ebike it was a nice breeze. This is the weather I’ve been waiting for since I got the bike
Oooh quite the lightning storm I can just see!!
vaccination aches have arrived
good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
When I reincarnate, I’m coming back as a Drag Queen ✨
We can judge cartoon characters like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bZYavCah0f4
I watched the whole clip
loved it …lol 🙂😹
I wanna be a carp
Koi or Charlie?
I’m coming back as either a bird or a tree
House cat, please. Or a spoiled chihuahua.
I’m coming back as a magpie. Resident one gets more cheese than I do and doesn’t even have do anything except not swoop me.
I would like to choose my family 🙂🙂🙂
Could’ve happened this morning.
It’s not too late to become a drag queen J
I just wanted to lay down for like, 10 mins but nah lol
look at that fluffy tummy , she needs a tickle
Alright. I’ve posted on facey to find the strays a home. I’ve avoided Facebook like the plague but it’s worth a shot.
Even included the video I posted here the other day.
Fingers crossed,🤞🏾
flu and covid vaccines done
now to make that dinner for the next few days, will work slow
also, I am such an idiot that can’t write for crap
No me
What are you talking about? You do heaps of good writing for your uni courses. 🙂
Not really, that’s probably why I’m struggling so much
You’re not an idiot and can write for crap! Everything you write is perfectly clear
I am happy to hear that. Thank you.🥹
Ok on the discussion of tea, what do we think of reusing the teabag?
I happily will reuse it if I haven’t steeped it enough. But the flavour does tend to die and you’re left with a mug of hot water.
Also thoughts on drinking tea from a glass? Had a relative visit who moved to the UK some years ago and she would drink tea in a double-walled glass mug. I have never seen anyone do such a thing.
I’ve never even thought of reusing a teabag, but I only really drink black tea and English breakfast tea like Lipton etc, not a fancy tea drinker at all. I wouldn’t re-use Lipton.
Always drink tea from a mug with a handle, there is no other way for me. Something about holding a handle which is more comforting for me. I have those double walled Bodum glasses which gather dust because the pull for the handle is too strong.
I would reuse if not so lazy. It really isn’t as good tasting but it’s fine if you just want to have another hot drink.
I tend to use generic instant coffee for no waste
I buy moccona and use the jars
but it’s $37.50 a big jar now!!! I bought 5 jars when it was around $18 and am still using it
Damn that’s a lot. I just get the generic decaf granules from whatever shop has them. $5 per 100g
I buy the big jars of Vittoria, I prefer the lids on their jars. They are on special quite frequently so I always buy a jar when they are on special.
I saw the jars at the op-shop for $5 each, yeah nah.
It’ll be on sale soon enough to restock.
just reuse once
I steep tea for about 1 minute
Reusing the teabag is a crime against Nature. Also, the tannins have developed out on the first soaking, and all the theine and caffeine has been extracted. All you get on the second soak is colour and tannin. This applies to real tea, not herbal for which I prefer to use the term ‘tisane’.
On a side note (for the barf factor) a couple I was friendly with some years ago went to Korea as Christian missionaries. They were supported by a few congregations in the south of the USA. One congregation sent them a packet of tea bags which had been used only on the left hand side (they explained in a letter that accompanied the teabags). They did this as an exercise in Christian self denial and sharing with the less fortunate. The fact that the tea bags had gone thoroughly mouldy by the time they reached Korea was not an issue that mattered to them. In spite of the postage. As an example of utterly useless performative self abnegation, this just can’t be beat imo. They hurt themselves, and the end result was utterly useless to anyone else.
Yes, I use a double walled glass mug for tea. Holds the tea at the right temperature for the whole mugful and I thoroughly approve of such tea mugs. You can buy them in Kmart.
I don’t even like tea and I agree with your first statement.
gees people are weird
I suppose they thought they were sharing and liked to imagine the sharing
That’s wild. Why would they send that overseas
I am not privy to their thought processes, or lack thereof. Imo this stands as the most selfish thing I’d ever come across until tiktok gymfluencers happened.
No
Handles were invented so you don’t burn your fingers.
I mostly don’t drink Tea tea, but will happily reuse the bags for herbal concoctions, and drink them out of glass. Red Zinger is especially pretty so it’s nice to see it.
drinking tea from a glass
At this stage it’s not tea it’s wine.
Her tea was black tea with evaporated milk. So might as well be wine
Evaporated? My word, I think my Brittish DNA is getting irritated.
Yep. 😂
Evap milk is REQUIRED for rice pudding. Or you don’t get that glorious brown crunchy crust on the top without it.
I use it for ice-cream, but not tea.
Building is being painted. There is a boom, much crashing and bashing and beeping, and shouty men peering in all my windows. Feel rather trapped.
Many moons ago, I was involved in this niche online forum community that shut down a few years ago. I never met the people in person, but I loved chatting to them and hearing their stories. These people were some of the brightest I’ve ever encountered (they were quite nerdy), but struggled quite a bit. One of them randomly popped into my head before. She would journal about how depressed and hopeless she felt, but is one of the most clever people I’ve ever come across. I always wondered how such a bright person could hate themselves. Anyway. I opened Facebook, and she is now married, in her dream job, making a positive impact. I hope she is content. I hope all the people I interacted on there are.
It makes me think that if other people can change their lives, so can I.
You’re doing great already. You’re doing university and trying new things.
<3
fiddling about with the Tea Button and I figure hey, someone else has had to do this so lemme look and crib off their key…and in finding preprogrammed values I have discovered that I am apparently a filthy, filthy tea peasant who should be shot because ten minute steep time for black tea is an abomination.
I regret nothing. You’re all tea pussies.
Purr purr am content.
10 minutes?!
The way I make my tea these days is the ultimate tea pussy way. Half boiling water, half cold or milk. Drink straight away.
well 1 it’s liptons and 2 I like it strong.
Yum
Come to think of it, I probably leave the teabag in for longer than ten minutes if I’m doing something
they’re amazingly forgiving in how long you can leave them before the tannins get narky. Which is probably why they need to be steeped so long.
Absolutely. I think the teabag packet said to brew a cup for five minutes which seemed like a long time until I tried it
Motivation. 1 out of 10.
will do because i must , benefits are in the future,
Ok I’m alive.
that’s a win 🙂
I have woken up with “your body is a wonderland” playing in loops in my mind for some inexplicable reason
I have never heard this song before. It seems very forgettable.
…bastard
