how doth the little busy bee

I have acquired, by some mystic process over the last year or two, a taste for fruit teas. I've always mentally classified them, along with rooibos, as "disgusting pseudo-tea", but then my erstwhile MA student Stacey gave me a bag of something with pomegranate and apple and I was hooked. This is terribly useful: these days if I have a milk drink of

I'm trying to drink more rooibos. It's quite easy to get here, and quite soothing, just by itself with no milk or sugar.

Something I quite liked in Israel was their tea and hot water combo with generous amounts of mint leaves in the water. Particularly soothing, even on a hot Israeli day.

Quite disconcerting to see your subject line not end in "crocodile".

Re bedtime drinks, I've been hearing marvellous things about Montmorency cherry juice helping you sleep. Mmmmelatonin! (Just got my bottle yesterday, so can't report on personal experience - yet.)

I seriously considered ending the subject line in "crocodile", just for laterality, but more straightforward counsels prevailed. Now I'm regretting it :>. I should have added another sentence to the post mentioning my dad's company's crocodile-breeding exploits, and it would have worked perfectly. Sigh.

I know a beekeeper and can get you honies cheap cheap. I have a stonkload, will bring some tomorrow when I come to play with EL's tool.

I find your manifesto compelling, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. I would be delighted if you wished to provide me cheep cheep honies on a sort of sub-let principle. Let me know how many monies are involved, and I shall shower you with cash in return for the sweet stuff.

I am ignoring, with becoming dignity, the awful "EL's tool" provocation. Good grief.

I need a tame beekeeper to sort out the swarm who have taken a liking to our garden. I am delighted to have bees but would rather provide them with proper housing, at the moment they are in an air brick.
