In middle of busy day of #counselling, including a moving group session with year 11 boys dealing with a recent suicide, I was greeted by this welcome sight @Fortnums upon my return home. Made me smile. Great tea is a big part of my #selfcare. #teetotal #sober #irishbreakfasttea

I have #keemun , #assam (#kondoli) and #ceylon (#blackwood) loose-leaf tea and want to mix them in a ratio that makes a good #EnglishBreakfastTea blend. Anyone know a good mixture ratio? #IrishBreakfastTea recipe would also be nice to know. (I was unable to find an reasonable quantity of reasonably priced organic English breakfast blend so bought separate organic tea from two suppliers.) #teaBlend #blendTea #tee #teeMischung #blend #EnglishBreakfast #IrishBreakfast

⤴️ #Thread 2/2 | Ian and #ZZTop in #Vegas.

____________

I ordered appetizers (Mexican) for Ian and me. We were about 5 #martinis down, and I'd had breakfast on the plane but skipped lunch.

____________

Ian went non-verbal. I quit yapping. We both knew what was happening. I pantomimed "check" to the bartender. She circled "$180" on the ticket with a big wink at me. We'd drunk a fuckton of #martinis—9/10 @ $39/round + apps? I tipped $320.

____________

Ian woke me up with kisses on the neck. We were nekkid in his bed, but best-recollect, nothing "sex" had happened. He remedied that, with vigor.

_____________

Did he want brekkies? Just tea for Ian. Did they have #Barry's? #IrishBreakfastTea? Wow, they did!
____________

He pulled a CD from his bag + played it on the room's A+ sound system.

• Ian: "Have you heard #ZZTop?"

• Me: "Yes, chile. Since High School! Big Fan!"

"Heard It On The X" was his favorite song.

#Anne knew about Ian's love for men.
