A cup of tea and a sit down
Yesterday, whilst I waited between one event and an interview with a certain Internet guru, I have stopped to drink tea at the National Gallery restaurant. I love that place, there is a retro, quintessentially English vibe to it that makes it quite special.
I had an orange and passion fruit tea. Strangely, I do remember buying a tin of the aforementioned tea at Whittards of Chelsea and not enjoying it at all. The one I had at the museum had an exquisite colour and a lovely aroma.
After drinking the entire content of my tea pot, I headed over to the interview venue, where some snacks were being served. I try not to eat the kind of stuff they serve at events here as it can be quite unhealthy (read wraps full of mayo, deep fried prawns, deep fried onion rings, potato skins full of sour cream and bacon, etc) and managed to successfully avoid the snacks due to my tea-filled stomach.
I am finding that tea can actually replace snacks and nonsense cravings for stuff in the middle of the afternoon. I heard that this is true to a lot of people but never worked for me until recently. Peppermint tea seems to be particularly good. Gosh am I turning into an English lady?!
On a separate note, I don’t want to leave my desk. I am a real fashion faux-pas today, with black tights and grey shoes. Oh dear!
