I do that! I haven't always done it but I've been disappointed in the lack of flavour in many brands, most brands, so I've been doing that for about a year now.

I think it helps.
But nothing seems to have the taste and the feeling I used to get from tea growing up.

Will I have to go back to tea leaves I wonder. It's just the mess and disposing of tea leaves I wouldn't want to go back to.

It has to be tea leaves! Whenever I have tea made with a tea bag, it just tastes like vaguely flavoured hot water. Tea leaves give the proper tea flavour. I have a little teapot with an inbuilt strainer/infuser and you just pull out the strainer when you're done and pop the leaves in the compost bin. No mess.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 16TH 2025​

A surprisingly heavy day in history.

• 1773 – The Boston Tea Party.
This was the night colonists dumped British tea into Boston Harbor. No speeches. No debates. Just enough is enough.


• 1944 – The Battle of the Bulge begins.
Hitler launched a massive surprise attack. It became the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army in WWII.


• 1985 – The Simpsons debut.
They first appeared as short cartoons on The Tracey Ullman Show. Nobody knew it would turn into the longest-running TV series ever.


• 1997 – Titanic hits theaters.
Eleven Oscars later… people were still arguing about whether Jack could’ve fit on that door.

History can be intense — so thank goodness it also gave us yellow cartoon families and epic movie drama.

I resisted seeing Titanic for years and years. Not a fan of the rom-dram and I already knew the ending; the boat sinks.

I watched it and I can't say it's one of my favourite movies, nowhere near.

People say oh the special effects are amazing, the boat sinking etc.
Well special effects long ago failed to keep my interest.

I prefer my movies with more of an interesting and throught provoking story line.

My all time favourite movie about the Titanic is A Night to Remember.
