Well my dearly beloved…I had prayed the day would never come – and yet…here it is…I’m saddened to report that I have indeed…sorry I promised myself I wouldn’t cry…
…ahem, I am saddened to report that…I have ran out of tea, and with this dagger to the heart – I have also ran out of hope, I am absolutely beside myself.
RIP.

When my local Waitrose here in Dubai runs out of my favourite dark chocolate ginger cookies I cry. I buy them 5 packets at a time and it doesn’t seem to be enough. I’m sad, I know.
