Leave it to the newspapers
let the talking heads confuse
not to your taste, just eat up
the daily news, no you can’t
change your view, you can’t
disagree, can’t say you’re not
diseased, what’s that, can’t
drink tea, I told you you’re ill
Saturday Shorts – Can’t Drink Tea
Back home, it would be, You want some tea? Why, I’m not ill.
My family drinks it, regardless, any time.

Going off the taste of tea in England a sure sign of illness or pregnancy!

True – being English my posts can be a little self-deprecating and touched with irony which I admit is not necessarily obvious – it’s me – I write the words that come to me. All the best. Eric.

A great piece Eric. In a few words it captures how we live today. What can I say? I hope everyone is ok.

We are all fine thank you, G – both my daughters have now had the Pfizer vaccine which is a relief, it’ll be about another month for old baldy me so I’ll keep my head down and my hat on too! I hope I find you well and mobile, and all you care for too.

That’s good news Eric I am glad to hear.
I am ok. My ankle is still swelling and I am not ready to walk on the treadmill, but other than that everything is fine. As for the vaccine, everything is a mess here. I have no idea when I am going to get it.. in the fall? Next year? You can guess I am not happy.
But I am happy for you guys. Stay safe. Have a beautiful evening.
