I don't get the coffee thing. I don't mind coffee cake or the bean in a sambucca (why don't they set fire to sambuccas any more?) I don't drink tea either -tastes like dead leaves Anywayyyy. People buy a bucket or an eggcupful of coffee for an extortionate price. There's this weird coffeespeak skinny latte- what's that forgoodnessake? - don't tell me. I don't care.
As far as I'm concerned, hot drinks are medicinal for when you've got a cold. Lemsip or marigold stock followed by cold water.
While we're on the subject - I hate milk (primary school radiator issues probably). I would have welcomed Maggie Thatcher milk snatcher with open arms and donated half my pocket money to her election fund I learnt later that it was about more than school milk and.d would have eventually cut off the funding stream.
Anyway, I have digressed into politics. What I was trying to get around to was people who try to convince me that there are alternatives to cow's milk. I know this but I don't need them. I don't drink tea or coffee. And I don't mind milk so long as I can't taste it. <green emoji>
My only complaint today is that having spent all day sanding my living room floor, my back is now killing me. And I am so tired! But, job done! And I welcomed the inclement weather as if it had been sunny, I would have collapsed!

Why do the names of so many plants sound like diseases or afflictions? Some mentioned today : eucomis and scrophularia to name but two. And then there's scabiosa and plumbago
It's 'cos so many of them have bits that look like human bits and pieces ... and of course, it was thought that if they looked like them they would help cure problems with them ... it's called the Doctrine of Signatures ... Lungwort with its blotchy leaves was thought to cure diseases of the lungs. Scrophularia was thought to cure the throat disease Scrofula because the flower shape looked like a throat.
