What is in your cup?

Coke Zero #2 for me.

[Stitchawl]

I'm walkin all around the town
Singin all the people down
Talkin around, talkin around.
Me and my cat named Dog
Are walkin high against the fog
Singin the sun
Singin the sun
Happy, sad and crazy wonder
Chokin up my mind with perpetual dreamin...

I'm driftin up and down the street
Searchin for the sound of people
Swingin their feet, swingin their feet
Dog is a good old cat
People what you think of that?
That's where I'm at, that's where I'm at.
Happy, sad and crazy wonder
Chokin up my mind with perpetual dreamin...

Dog is a good old cat
People what you think of that?
That's where I'm at, that's where I'm at, that's where I'm at.

Good morning, all! Monday morning and Felicity wants to go outside... in the rain? Cats are strange... There is some tasty tea in my cup this morning; it's Ceylon Uva tea to be precise. And beside it some 'French Toast' made from thick slabs of home-made French bread. Maybe I should be drinking something more French? I wonder why they call it 'French' Toast ? I also wonder if the French ever eat it at home? I know they have laws against 'mutilating' the French language. I wonder if they have laws against mutilating a baguette? Or can you mutilate a baguette but not a full-sized loaf? Or vice versa? Monday mornings can be difficult...

hot green tea.

Cappuccino and a savoury muffin, I deserve it after a broken night with the puppy who had a slight case of the runs, wanted to go out 4 times in an hour then slept peacefully for the rest of the night while I lay awake and worried about her. She woke up bouncing and devoured her breakfast so all seems to be well. Maybe puppies like babies should be acquired when you're young, although at nine weeks she's pretty well housetrained and neither of my boys were lol.

Redbull.

Are you becoming a Red Bull addict? I like the taste of Red Bull, but for some reason it's VERY expensive here.

Right now... an afternoon mug of Lapsang Souchong. It's that kind of day.

I have never tried a Redbull. Don't know why, I have just never considered it as an option when choosing a drink. Black coffee in my cup now, of course.

It's pretty tasty stuff. Great when it's a hot day and you have a lot of work to do outdoors. Big energy boost!

My sugar with caffeine drink of choice is Coca-Cola.

But just now I have iced water in my pint glass.

Isn't it just fundamentally a massive hit of caffeine, or is there more to it?

A bit more... Caffeine, Taurine, Glucuronolactone, B-Vitamins, Sucrose, Glucose and Alpine Spring Water. It seems that the Taurine combines with the Caffeine to produce some extra physical response that caffeine and sugar alone don't do, (or so it was explained to me.) I can drink Coca Cola til it runs out my ears and still go to sleep. But one bottle of Red Bull and I'm moving on all eight cylinders for the next few hours! I really can't attest to the physiological reasoning behind it, but I'll swear to the results it has on my bod!

Isn't it overly sweet ?
