Twinings Tea Advent Calendar Day 6

Digest: Ginger and turmeric with fig THIS was a tiny bit gingery and quite pleasant. Slightly Christmassy without being cinnamon.

Twinings Tea Advent Calendar Day 6

Defence: citrus and ginger with green tea and echinacea
I mean, this was fine. I wouldn't bother again. Neither very citrussy nor very gingery, so what's the point?

Twinings Tea Advent Calendar Day 5

Cleanse: Matcha with green tea, lemon and fennel
This was reminiscent of perfume, possibly the kind in cleaning products.

Spearmint, apple and rooibos with baobab

Baobabs need to be uprooted very quickly, unlike roses

Sewing

I got well enough today to do a tiny bit of sewing - yesterday I zigzagged the fraying end of one of Rob's trouser legs, and today I patched a knee and also darned a tiny hole in the seat of a pair of shorts which have been in the mending basket since, well, summer.

I think my next project is a top for Youngest with a cookie cutter shark in Pride flag colours. I can't remember which Pride flag, at this stage, but when I pick the project pieces up again it will become obvious, I started it ages ago.

And after that I hope my basket of projects might start being a laundry basket again, it's been ridiculous. But I also want to make myself more nighties.
