Not really, but it's full of a lot of other things (I can assure you it's not what you're thinking, thanks) and it'd please me if you were patient while I sorted through it all enough to spit it out.

First and foremost, the happiest birthday ever needs go to my mum, who can celebrate knowing I appreciate her for everything she has done and

Firstly, congratulations. Your writing has become eloquent to the point of pretentiousness, JUST the sort I enjoy reading. You could write about the weather on a hot, dusty day in July three hundred years ago, but as long as you wrote about it like THAT, my attention would be riveted.

Anyway! Really sorry to hear about the water. Personally, I don't see why one needs hot water just to wash one's hair. I've done plenty of cold-water shampoos. It's a full shower for which one might want hot water, and I hope the issue is resolved with expedience. I couldn't tolerate it.

As for tea: LOL. I had no idea it would be so strong. Mary bought some, too, but I haven't tried it. It was a tough decision. Real tea, or novelty tea? I went with novelty, though I tend to be against that sort of thing, because....well, whiskey flavored. Ha! As for other suggestions, I know I enjoy Harney & Sons, almost any flavor. I always meant to try the Winter White Earl Grey, but I never did. They tend to be too expensive for my tastes, but then...I suppose most quality teas are.

Maybe you'll find something you'll like. :) Damn...now I want tea, but I'm not at my tea cabinet.

It figures that the one time I actively try not to sound pretentious, I pull pretentiousness off with ease. ;P

As for the water - it's a momentary obstacle, but I do wish it would hurry up and right itself. As for cold-water shampoos, they don't strip the oils right (and hot water just damages hair), so I need warm water in order to feel clean without the sensation of my skin being pulled tight over my skull. (I'm spoiled, I know.) Though if the situation demanded it, I suppose I could wash up in the river with the best of them ...

I really appreciate that tea you sent, novelty or not. (Who would've thought that whisky-flavoured tea would taste like ... whisky?!)

Also, thank you for that website! As a direct consequence, I now have no idea what to do with myself. Too many choices! I want to try them all! Though that Palm Court blend looks good ... and Sally's Secret looks amazing, because I've always liked rose and citrus together ... and and, and! (See what you've done?! ;D)
