Third mug of tea on a beautiful June day.

That, however, has completely passed, and now I can drink any amount and feel fine.

Red wine in my glass

.

Yep. The more I drink the finer I feel. Until the morning!

Sigh. A half glass of Cabernet, and I have a splitting headache. I can, some of the time, avoid the worst of it, but it's very much a hit or miss solution. Definitely NOT worth the risk for any but the very best reds. Instead, I buy and drink mostly very good whites, or single malts. But not all that much of either.

This afternoon I'm drinking faux San Pellegrino. Except this time I seem to have over-carbonated it. Still good, but not as accurate a match for San Pellegrino.

Speaking of the good stuff, now drinking a pot of Keemun Xian Zhen, from TeaSpring. This is head and shoulders the best China Black tea I have had.

Everyone else is asleep, I have the TV to myself, and I'm (re-)watching The Martian on DVD with a glass (or three) of Shiraz. Life is good!

Difflugia · 03-10-2016, 01:34 PM

A big glass of soda water.

wodin · 03-10-2016, 03:38 PM

Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

CRussel · 03-10-2016, 04:49 PM

Argh. Phone going off at 6AM with a work request I couldn't ignore. Sigh. The life of a SysAdmin. But it's made for very much of a coffee day.

Peet's Sumatra Blend in my mug. Second one today.

cromag · 03-10-2016, 06:11 PM

Fourth mug of tea for the day.

CRussel · 03-11-2016, 01:23 AM

Talisker 10Yr. The last of the bottle.

cromag · 03-11-2016, 02:43 AM

A little Shiraz.

Generic black tea. Not spectacular, but at least it's fresh.

And to you. Considering whether to have another glass or the red - better half is on call and sometimes she wants me to come along...

Last bit of tea for the day.
