You out and about early!

Looks good outside the window, might have to cut the grass today!

Good = dry, so grass it is, though I have to reduce the height of a tree too as it's somewhat leaning and a little rotten at the base and a little too close to the garage to leave all of it standing sadly.

But first... tea!

Priorities are in the right order, that's good to see.

Rise and shine you lot, it's another Monday morning, and the coffee pot has just brewed a nice, hot, strong revitalising beverage.

Taste this, isn't it scrumptious?

LATEST NEWS

Mellow Bird's, the classic British brand that brought instant coffee to a tea-drinking nation in the 70s, is being relaunched with a nationwide marketing drive targeting students.

Apparently as the British public never really drank coffee, until half way through WWII, when the Yanks came over by the zillions of GIs, got used to a blend of real coffee beans (25%) and toasted chicory (75%) (remember Camp? Another super-vile substance).

Bird's tried to replicate the taste in a powder, and apparently they did a fairly good job of it.

There is a whole thread dedicated to Mellow Bird's on Urban75

It's worth reading , especially if you are feeling down a bit, every comment is a gem and laugh producing material.
