The Tea System

We have, over a decade-plus, devised a foolproof system for milk in our tea. Tammy’s tea should look like me, and my tea should look like Tammy. Simple!

An odd week, for a variety of different reasons. I continue to say “oh, I won’t spend much this month” and then…buy a new office chair (again, in fairness, my current one is suffering from 8 years of Helvetica clawing at it). And then I discovered that there’s a reprint of Octavo Redux coming in September and I had always felt a little sad I missed the original hardback printing…

…and I also bought some beef for a roast dinner, which was probably one of the biggest cases of sticker shock I’ve had for a while. But apparently that doesn’t make national news for days and days on end at the moment.
