The first turning point, or just kidding myself?

ELAPSED 10 / 356 REMAINING

For the first time in what must be years, I have thought "I could just do with a cup of tea" as opposed to "I could just do with a beer"; you see, I've been sat here all day, working away, and usually around 17h00 to 18h00 I'll think "I could do with a quick snifter right now" (love that word 'snifter' - thanks C; one of my new favourites along with the intransitive verbs 'miscegenate' and 'coruscate').

But today it's been the agony of tea choice as the 'pick-me-up' - Green? Peppermint & Eucalyptus? Nettle & Sweet Fennel? Spearmint & Camomile?

I do realise I'm obsessing over tea. It'll pass. Thing is, then what do I replace it with? And what happens when beers are on offer outside of the home, and the pressure mounts? I've still got that big sod of a bridge to cross ...

So near and yet so far ...
