That is the most delightfully British song I've ever heard.

'Rebecca Holden, 27...'!!!!!!!!!! 😘

The very IDEA of tea being drunk at 98.6°C is an utter disgrace to humankind. I only take a splash of milk in mine - but adding more than a couple of tablespoons of the stuff straight out of the fridge would render tea *already* at such a low temperature utterly undrinkable.

If were are ever to meet over a cuppa, Terry, I fear our relationship will be doomed from the start. Dare we even throw down a shared tea-drinking gauntlet in a local imbibery, scene of our meeting, or would we decide to play it safe and plump for coffee instead? 🤔 It's too much of a risk. I shall bring a Thermos.

Your planning list is a delight. I'm impressed (alarmed?!) to feature in it so regularly. #getalife 😉

I love that your writing plan involves proofreading the article that you published the day before.

Your tea making process seems a bit tedious, to be honest. Assuming 2 minutes for the kettle to boil, the whole ordeal would take 11 minutes and 14 seconds. Rebecca would already be on to her second cup. Speaking of Rebecca, it was shocking to hear that she has come by these "lost lists" illicitly. She seems like such a nice person. Hopefully it's just a misunderstanding.

I'm getting hungry. I'm going to eat Terry. (Oops, forgot the comma.)

Nine minutes to make a cup of tea? I think not.

LOVED the news flash- hilarious! And the dancer in the white T-shirt! So light on his feet.

I was pleased to see that I am not the only one who carries out post-publication proofreading!
