I alternate between normal black tea and herbal lemon tea so I usually only drink a few mugs of tea with caffeine in them, and the caffeine in tea is not so much I believe? Anyway, have no problem with it. Apparently tea is even fine to drink before bed because some of the other things in tea which make you sleepy are stronger than the caffeine.
As for work, fortunately I don't have very far to go at all. I'm closest to the kitchen and the hot water machine and the emergency exit too. And the toilets. In fact sometimes I wish I had further to go so that I could get a walk in. I've taken to going to the loos on the floor higher up - it gets me a nice little stair walk several times a day plus the toilets there seem to be cleaner.

The EF side of the joke is that after they are married supposedly the Moose will be called a Penguin, but in reality it will, of course, to us always be Mr and Mrs Moose.
Like the Ponds in Doctor Who. They are NOT Williamses.

It was like summer here yesterday --people were in shorts! Now it's back down to 5C. Sigh. If it were like summer here, people would be wearing raincoats Same here. Bremen has British weather.

It hasn't stopped snowing for days. For kids, this is fun. For adults, not so much. Driving to work is nerve-racking, as the ploughs can't be everywhere at once, so almost everywhere is in need of ploughing. Especially our yard, where they tend to plough the snow at night, meaning they work their way around my car (ant the nearby parking spaces) and leaving a tidy wall of snow around it. Ploughing the yard during the day when there are no cars there would just be too easy.

Doesn't it give you a better opportunity to make snowmen, though?

We've had basically zero here. This is a seriously large amount...

Warm snow is water!

Not that warm. Just warm enough to be a little wet.

I don't think we've had an inch yet so far this season.

Cold snow does not make snowmen. You need warm snow for that. I imagined your snowplough was shovelling warm - slightly warm - snow, which would thus be ideal for snowmen. Is that not the case? Then is it not too powdery to shovel?

We have a large contraption (no English word exists for it, it seems) that is used to push snow away, but those are rubbish, which is why I am so surprised they are so ubiquitous. I have a spade in my car, and the intermediate form is a sort of shovel that also pushes snow away, but out co-op doesn't have that. But yes, last night I spend about an hour removing snow from the building's parking lot when we pay for a company to do it. Grrr.

I heard a news clip on the Radio the other day where the reporter said that Scotland had had a yellow snow warning!

Did they say why it would be yellow?
