    We're experts at it here, because we don't usually get anything else but rain! :rotfl: So when we get some warm sunny days we're like :j:j:j:j:j

    My parents have always made tea in a pot too. My Mam still does even though she's just making it for one now....she can drink endless amounts of tea, and really likes to savour it. I usually leave her sitting in a cafe to finish the pot whilst I go look around town!

    In coffee I never have much milk in anyhow, so don't have to worry about it cooling it down too much. If I did want a latte then I'd just use the milk frother or put it into the microwave to warm it up. I never have milk in tea, totally changes the flavour of it, it's just wrong! :p To confuse things even more, it's got to be red tea and not black.

    I don't drink coffee so hot milk is not an issue, and I won't make tea with anything other than freshly boiled water because that would be just wrong! Went round to a friend's house who only keeps teabags for guests and he tried to make it by putting the milk and the teabag in the mug then adding the water from the kettle :rotfl: He then had to ask me why it wasn't working right :rotfl:

    That moment when you realise that quite a few people who you used to post with on the struggling to conceive thread now have two children.

  • Oooh, well done Lambyr, that's brilliant!

    Big hugs, tea.

    Tell me happy summer stories, please! I need to know someone is enjoying this! I am currently covered in Calamine lotion and covered in a heat rash. Plus I got some in my eye and convinced myself I was going to go blind. I can still see, you may laugh.

    Happy summer story:
    I like it hot and sunny because I spent a lot of my childhood in sunnier climes and it reminds me of holidays and beaches and swimming pools.
    Gitdog likes to mooch around (although there's a lot of lying down refusing to move involved) so we walk when it's a bit cooler. We had a lovely relaxed walk round a local pool.
    Until we came across a fishing competition. Most people there were aware it was a fishing competition. One of us however was firmly of the opinion that a lovely load of big sticks had been out out especially for his entertainment.
    It's a good thing that 3 years of Gitdog had abolished my embarrassment gene.:D
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    All the sun lovers need to move to where I am!

    Got the rugby league on. Game being played in Wigan, which is about 30 miles from me. Raining at the game. Not here! :rotfl:

    The only sane, rational and reasonable explanation is that my area is the centre of a top-secret government weather-control project. foilhat.gif
