I've got a pinched nerve in my neck that makes my hands feel weird. So instead of doing anything productive that irritates the nerve I'm spending the day finishing book 2 of The Pledge series before starting book 3.

Hmmm which tea do I feel like reading with today🤔 I think I have almost as many flavours of David's Tea as I have books😂😂 there's at least this much more on the other side of the shelf. 4 tins deep on the bottom and 2 deep on the top.

LeahBergen I recently discovered their Honeycrisp Apple. Have you tried it? It‘s good! 6y
brilliantglow Yeah! They always run out of it so I keep a big 250g tin of it 😃😃 6y

LeahBergen Oh oh! I better buy more of it. 😂 6y
rabbitprincess I just restocked my own tea stash: Hot Chocolate, Chocolate Chili Chai, and Chocolate Macaroon. And some Irish Breakfast for the office 😄 6y
brilliantglow @LeahBergen yeah! Definitely soon too we have 2 stores and they both are sold out usually by now actually, especially since it's one of their fall teas. Can always get some online though usually after stores run out of stock. 6y
brilliantglow @rabbitprincess ohhh I love all those teas. The Irish breakfast makes especially good iced tea. I have a whole big bag full of tins I need to get refilled but some of them are for teas they don't carry anymore. 6y
Tamra I made the mistake of getting on David‘s website and had terrible cup/mug lust. 😩 6y
brilliantglow @Tamra yeeeesssss omg don't even look at them if you're not prepared to buy them all. They're always so pretty. My favourites are the Nordic style 6y
rabbitprincess @brilliantglow Ooh I never thought of making iced tea with Irish Breakfast! My favourie teas for iced tea are Ruby Red and Pom Diggety. 6y
brilliantglow @rabbitprincess I've never made either of those into iced versions but yeah Irish breakfast is awesome. I used to use orange pekoe all the time but this has a way better flavour. For fruity ones I love Main Squeeze and Melon Drop 6y

Macintosh apple slices, havarti cheese and spicy calabrese. A hot lemon tea and I'm going to start this book. The first book was okay I'm hoping this one will be better because I absolutely love the covers. #booknsnack
