I like Elderberry and Echinacea tea. Comes as teabags, no boiling of spiny critters, or even berries, leaves and flowers. I haven't had a full-on snotty cold since I stopped commuting regularly by train in 2016.

I was trying to sneak to bed at midnight last night when an earthquake struck and shook the whole house. It was like a strong gust of wind suddenly hit the house and rattled all the doors. Apparently we weren't far from the epicentre. It's the second one we've had here now.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Fracking is banned in Wales thankfully. We live on a geological fault line though. People have lost their dogs down the fissure that follows the fault down the hill behind our house and there have been major land slips within view of the house within living memory. It's alway a worry when a quake happens here in case it triggers something

I was just about to do my meter readings and there was a headline on the opening page @wild edges. 3.8 apparently, and about 7.5 miles north of Rhondda for the centre. A depth of 2 kilometres Hope you're all ok.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

I've just received a private message from an earlier spammer [bradleyheath something or other, going on about some chemical solution to something. A couple of people also posted but obviously, the thread's gone now. I think @pansyface might have posted but can't remember. I've added Catherine Mansley to the 'conversation' [their single message ] rather than reply. Does anyone know if that works effectively, or any other suggestions?

We've experienced a couple of tremors here in Gloucestershire over the years. They have all been in the evening or at night. One sounded like a train going past, although there are no rail lines within a mile of us. The other just rattled things around.
We also experienced on in Crete. Sitting in the hotel bar by the pool one evening, as you do, and water in the pool started to slosh up over the sides, then the tables started to shake along with all the bottles and glasses in the bar. A little unsettling but the locals all said it was 'normal'.

Do you have to boil the creatures that look like hedgehogs to make this strange tea?
Hope you're all ok.
