5. Simplici-tea

Day 5.

Simplici-tea

I am a simple man with simple tastes, and I enjoy no taste more than a good cup of tea. I took Milly, the dog I've been watching, for a walk around the park today and fancied a good cup of tea and a chocolate digestive afterwards. I started to browse the cupboards for tea bags and stumbled across a variety of teas. Now I'm well aware there's quite a few different types of tea, for instance; English Breakfast/Earl Grey/Green Tea/etc. But then, just as I was about to reach for the PG Tips, I stumbled across this in the cupboard...

That's right, the good folks at Twinings have come up with this absurd concoction, the Russian Caravan. What on Gods green Earth is this all about? This led me to query what other weird and wonderful teas are out there, so I hit up the Twinings website for some research and came across the likes of; Lapsang Souchong/Ceylon Orange Pekoe and even a Prince Of Wales variety. The world has gone mental, just stick with tea, 2 sugars and a drop of milk.

In other news, I booked my Fiji holiday at long last. Seven nights in the glorious 5* Westin Denerau for me and the maud to look forward to. It was quite a painful process to get this done, not because it took a great amount of time or effort, if anything it took very little time and effort, it was more the endless nonsense you have to contend with in a travel agents. My travel agent comes out with phrases like "Let me have a squiz at that for you" and "Insurance is insurance, you know?". 

In other travel news I'm heading back up to Sydney again in a few weeks for my good friend Nathan's 21st Birthday celebrations. I'm still trying to win him over and make it a Disney princess themed party, but he seems pretty adamant it's just a 'normal night out'. Pussy. 

And on a final note, I would like to thank you all for reading and want to let you know this will be my last blog. I have been offered a position at the New York Times and fly out there in September. Your support and dedication through this 5 day journey will always be in my heart. And then I woke up... 

No, but seriously this thing has had like 350 hits in under a week so thanks for reading.

Stay Trashy.
