Just reducing my caffeine intake a little bit, for no better reason than that I feel like it. Not given up completely, though. Velociraptors are absolutely not quitters ;o)
Now if I fancy a hot drink that's not got caffiene in it, I have hot ribena. That's how fruit tea should taste - and as Siance says, smells like it should taste and then doesn't.
I think I need to cut down my caffiene too. I used to get by quite happily on 3 or 4 cups a day, then a new person started in the office who just goes and makes coffee for everyone on an hourly basis.
Ditto the hot ribena. If I'm feeling virtuous I'll have hot water - no messing with your senses, it doesn't taste or smell so you're not disappointed.
V'rap, ankle's much better thanks. Still bit swollen but at least I can wear my normal trainers - previously been wearing summer mules, looked like a deranged tourist. Hospital adivsed 6 weeks sans running, so naturally I've reduced that to 4 - going to try a very short jog next week.
It would have been much harder to give up coffee at work in my old place, where we had an endless supply of fresh ground coffee. But here it's instant and I have to go to the back of reception and make it myself, trying to dodge the query-book and the biscuits.
I like vanilla rooiboos tea, but put a little bit of milk in it to make sure any supposed medicinal properties are destroyed.
It is indeed, Haggis. The order appears to have arrived complete, and very promptly, so if you're looking to splash out on some maps and stuff, that would be a good place to get them )

That's a title that sends shivers up everyones spine - glad I'm not one of your patients today ;o)
The anticipatory smell of fruit teas always belies their thin taste - total con!
Doing a detox V'rap?

The chocolate issue may have to be dealt with at some stage in the near future. I'm back over 100g a day, which is too much.

Snigger!!
Can our office borrow your coffee maker - i usually get the short straw (which means everyone only gets one cup a day!!!).
Camomile & honey is OK though. Just tastes a bit herbal.
Another steaming mug has just appeared at my right elbow.
...is that all? :-O

And a parcel, which is very exciting even though I know it's only maps and guidebooks.
V, is that the Carpathians books? ;o)
