All I want for Christmas is a tea-cosy.
It was realising this just now that made me face the fact – I am a sad, sad sod and I really need to get a life.

Wow. Someone went to a lot of effort to describe that.
Right, tea-cosy, check.
You sure that’s all you want?
Being an American and not being into tea much, I didn’t know what a tea-cosey was. So I googled it. And after seeing images of a bunch of ’em…
Why on earth would you want such a thing? 😛 😯
Josh, they are hideous I would agree – but they serve a useful purpose: they keep my tea warm. When I make a pot of tea (something I do fairly frequently) there is invariably more tea in the pot than can fit in the mug. But by the time I drain the mug enough to fit in more tea, the tea in the pot has gone cold.
Now that’s a criminal waste of a good cuppa. Hence, tea cosy.
And Dan, there’s still a few months till Christmas. I’m sure I can think of plenty other things by then 😀
And you thought I was joking
Just out of curiosity.. seriously, how much tea *do* you drink every day?
I have my morning mug (and it’s a latte mug).
Then I frequently have a cup of tea around 10/10:30
One mid afternoon.
Sometimes I’ll have one when I get home and one later on in the evening (never after 9pm though – unless I’m pulling an all nighter – or it keeps me awake).
Most days I drink about three cups. More if I’m bored/cold/sick. If I have a cold and/or lost my voice I basically chain-drink tea as it’s the only thing that helps.
When I’m at home I like to use a pot because it just tastes that bit better 🙂
Ah, okay. Not *that* much, then. The way you talked about tea, I thought maybe you chain-drank it all day. 🙂
I actually drink more coffee a day than you do tea, on average. I average about 4-5 cups of coffee a day.
It does depend on the situation.
Today for example I’m already on my fourth cup and I expect there will be a few more before the day is out.
I like my tea (a lot) but I prefer to savour it. Take my time over a cup – I might actually have to take a teapot into work… or is that just really sad?
If I was at a work place that didn’t have a coffee pot, I’d either take a thermos full of coffee with me, or a coffee pot. 😛 So either 1) it’s not sad or 2) we’re both pathetic.
Ah, but I can make tea at work as there’s a kettle etc – but making it in the mug by dunking the tea bag doesn’t make the BEST cuppa. So you see, I would be going above and beyond…
Here’s a kit I’m sure you’ll love: a strawberry one!
That’s really cute! What a great link, thank you. And welcome to Bright Meadow and the comments 🙂
