Glad to hear that Tea remains at the heart of the household Barry. A pot of tea puts everything into perspective and a cuppa to start the day can't be beaten !

I do recall a TV programme that concluded that tea was one of the most important things behind the industrial revolution. And we all know how unpopular it can be to tax it ...

Looking good everyone   :tu:

And I fully agree on the tea, although I start with a coffee, the rest of the day is a brew of tea, black no sugar  :cheers:

None of those wimpy light tea's in this household. If I can see through the glass of tea, it's too weak!
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

Happy Chuck Yeager Challenge iI Day 7!

I used the pick to inspect interior for pocket lint, etc. I used a can of compressed air and the pick to clean the interior (no, I don't use the pick in my mouth).

Used the small blade to remove the plastic cover on a bottle of Jack Daniels. Being at home, I could have used anything to do it, but since we're doing the Executive month, I got the Executive to do it.

Today, before lunch, I discovered I had a hair starting to grow on the tip of my nose.

 :facepalm:

The tweezers from the Executive took it out.

Excellent uses with your Executives, fellas!   :like:

(I, too prefer black tea, but will on occasion drink a green variety. Greg, I get my tea from a Canadian firm: Murchie's. A bit more expensive, but I swear they make the best tea and tea blends I've ever had, anywhere. Give their loose 1894 a try!)

Has the rain let up, Barry?

We could use some here..... :-\

Nice pics, guys.

Mini, I found using the tip to be a bit tricky and just went with the edge of the shaft.
