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. 

Tea

RIP.

    I hate running out of important things like tea or peanut butter. Stuff like that.

    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.

        Feel free to add the noun you’re looking for! I’ve probably been called it before, John. In fact, I would put a wager on it.

    Sorry John, I just have no pity! I mean, PG tips? Really? Now if you said Tetley, my dear, I’d cry with you. But PG tips? No.

      Ordinarily it’s just a standard brew…but as I’m in Korea I had to take these over with me. Now they’re all gone and I have to peruse weird tasting green tea instead.

    There, there … it could be worse, John. Here in California because of the drought there’s more tea than water. (But carry on your tea collection. It might be the best investment yet! 😀

    I’m relieved to say it’s been months since any kind of tea intimidated me, so there’s that.
