OUT OF TEA!? OH NO! That’d be like me running out of Lindt chocolate—the kind with chili in it.

I’m going shopping today and can look around in our store here in Maine USA to see if they have your Tetley tea in stock and send you some. ❤️

I liked the golfing in the potholes meme. Too funny.

Wonderful, inventive ways to use a pot hole. Has the city taken notice?

Our mailboxes on street corners always had legs. No child could be deceived into thinking the letters are dropped into a tunnel system.

It’s dreary here too, Rebeccca. But hubby and I have a date at the mall. The Apple Store offers a Vision Pro demo. Not to buy just to experience. Have you seen these? Maybe they can detect potholes otherwise there will be many twisted ankles.

"... I am intending to offer my services to the Highways Agency as a pothole detector. It’s a job-share position..." FYI: If Jim loses interest, I will be your back up. It is a job I am totally qualified for. Of course I would have to move into your garden shed while in residence. As far as salt in tea? Why not just throw n a few noodles and call it lunch?

Oh my gosh! I feel I should mail you a box of tea from Australia!

Baking soda in tea sounds horrible. I'm not even curious enough to try it. Love the pot hole golf idea. Perhaps there could be a charity tournament with all proceeds going to repair the holes. Better yet, perhaps close down the road(s) and use an earth mover to remove all of the road between the potholes, to make a new subterranean level. I love your childhood visualization of the postal workers working below the drop box. Reminded me that I used to think that all the songs I heard on the radio, were live performances at the radio station. I thought that the waiting room must have been huge to hold all of the performers and their instruments as they waited for their turn, as well as all of the people reading their lines in the advertisements. The radio station was the place to be, in my book. 😂 Hope beautiful, sunny, mild spring weather is right around the corner, and best wishes to your Jim for a speedy recovery.

Potholes AND a tea shortage?! Maybe you're better off in a space-time continuum where you can somehow avoid both, even if your meeting with Terry gets e-zap-orated in the process! Is there a nearby Tardis you can use? I'm all for it!
