Anyone for tea?

Day two is over and gone and day three is just beginning. Today i awoke at 6am (which is actually a wonderful nights sleep considering i fell asleep at 9.30pm) The reason for this was not my alarm clock (which was set for 7, even though classes dont start until 3) it was also not whoever was walking about downstairs, it was a combination of needing the bathroom and having a great internal philosophical debate about the likelyhood of evolution, stemming from a conversation with Jon a long time ago where his soul arguement was "well you wouldnt want to come out of a monkeys butt would you?" which infuriated me so much at the multitude of things wrong with the statement that my mind has only just been able to think about it again, but lets not get into metaphysics. The theme of my blog is something much more mundane, a cup of tea. Having got up, put on two jumpers (we are still refusing to put the heaters on even though it was around 5 degree C this morning, 40 degrees F), my boots and glasses and heading downstairs to get some breakfast i decided that the only thing that would warm me up (i was at that stage where you have a cold nose and theres not an awful lot of things you can wear to warm up your nose) was a cup of tea, which of course meant that my breakfast should be crumpets. So i am now sitting at my desk writing this blog and checking my schedule for the day drinking potentially the worlds greatest cup of tea, i am wondering if my lack of tea drinking has made this cup taste even better than usual because it is surely a wonderful thing, a marvel in its time, i would save it and preserve it for all to taste but then it would get cold and noone appreciates a cold cup of tea so i have drunk it all, for the good of the nations, we cant have people being demoralised by the promise of great tea not being realised. Anyway enough with this waffle, i think you can tell that it was a mighty cup of tea, which makes me think about the tea drinking nation we are, there is very little a cup of tea cant solve, a marriage is in ruins - the first thing anybody says is "ill go put the kettle on shall i?" (of course its a retorical question, nobody would ever say no - imagine the outrage "no Margret i dont want another blooming cup of tea my life is in ruins! wheres the alcohol?!"), a person dies and the bereaved have a very strong brew thrust into there hands before their tears hit the floor, some kind of urinary infection? the answer will probably be that the warm water will be good for you. Tea can do a lot, or maybe just the thought that tea can do a lot gives tea the reigns to do a lot (psychologically i mean .... not that tea could go conquer the world or anything) It is a great stress reliever, lowering the heart rate also eleviating emotional stress (but that could be a social thing because who doesnt sit with a group of friends and drink there tea and chat about life) The biggest energy surge seen all year round on the national grid tends to be after England get kicked out of the Football World Cup, normally to some substandard team which we should have beaten easily, and of course every person in the country is watching (the surge doesnt come from the tv usage, its from when penalties are over, the game is lost and someone says "oh well .... who wants a cuppa?", the national grid watch the power surge as everyone simultaneously switches on the kettle)
So, tea is rather special is all im saying really
