    I watched that too. He said he was born and raised on a farm. Maybe that's something to do with it.

    It was quite interesting
    Maybe worth a trip in a few years time

    Eldest girl got a birdhouse for her 18th made by one of her friends.

    We stuck it up in the garden in December and great excitement this morning as there are a pair of great tits exploring it.

    Yes it’s lockdown and this is what passes for excitement here these days.

    What’s the story with the new TB testing arrangements? If you are low risk do you have to have a pre movement test if your six months after your last test.
    Or is that just for high risk. I was lazy and didn’t read the full detail. It was a bit wishy washy.

    Indian farmers are on strike. They have Delhi surrounded for a good while now and the government are losing patience with them. They're protesting government legislation which they believe will drive them out of business to be replaced by larger more industrial farming. Sounds familiar.

    One of the kids bought me a breville hot cup kettle for Christmas. Brilliant job. Boils enough for a cup of tea in 90 seconds. Handy for first thing in the morning. Oh would boil a whole kettle to make one cup of tea. Costs around 30 euro.

    I could never just make one cup of tea.

    I have to boil the kettle. Put in the tea pot with three teabags. Bring to the boil on the hob and then I'll get my cup of tea.

    I envy youre time management skills to be able to make tea in a pot. Last time i had tea from a pot was in September visiting an elderly neighbour.

    Dunking a tea bag in a mug tastes different.
    Even the fecking tea bags lately are bursting in the tea pot. It's like the teabag makers are conspiring against tea being made in the pot.

    Always pot of tea here, delph pot at that.
    Only use the loose tea when we’re feeling fancy.

    Coffee made in a pot too, from freshly ground beams.

    Would only use Barrys here when using Teabags, sometimes three most times two in a travel mug and give it ten minutes up the road before facing into it to get a good draw on it, not much milk a bit of honey. Might put the honey in the mug tonight to speed up the process in the morning.
    Only really went back drinking tea last november, gave up drinking coffee as i was drinking too much prior to that and swapped it out for tea instead.

    Pettits suprvalu. Also available in Tesco and Stephen Doyle's on the main street.
    Leaves into the pot, water in and stew her on the range for a good 10 minutes. Fill the potholes with the leftovers

    Plastic was used on the sealing sides of teabags. They're moving away from this so might explain the bags not holding.

    Checked the fridge, no milk, no tea for the morning so. Joys of living the rural bachelor life in only buying a pint of milk at a time and stretching it for ten days. Should this be on the rooter thread? Always described myself as far from ordinary but never a rooter.

    That's some going. Myself and oulfella go through about 10 pints of milk a week minimum. Between tea, coffee , bowls of cornflakes and the oldest dog getting a drop in the morning after her breakfast.. Although I'm probably the biggest culprit due to the amount of coffee I put away.

    Can't keep food in our house at the moment. With kids at home. Daughter having soup now at half ten after having a big tea earlier. Milk and bread gone as soon as you open them. I suppose it would be worse if they ate nothing.
