    Spring's here! In my cup.

    We cannot wait for this winter to take a rest. It is late February and we are faced with yet another prospect of an Arctic Vortex.

For the hardworker that he was, he would have been the first person to protest my sitting around moping for all that time.

    The song of Lapsang Souchong
