Just had a big wheatgrass juice. Now it's time for the big boy algae drink. lt's a rippa mate! Been hitting the algae big time lately and l feel like a superman!!! Woot.

^A great shame.

Russian caravan tea for me this morning, blowing a gale outside more end of October than the middle of July. That's okay by me, I've got the Bill Evans Trio on.

I went to the tea shop yesterday, and have stocked on with Lapsong Souchong, Smokey Earl Grey, Orange Pekoe's of all denominations and first flushes of various sorts.

Enjoying a Blackwood Orange Pekoe this morning from Ceylon, which is no longer a country, except in the tea world.

Still raining outside, been raining for about two weeks now, reminds me of the tropics except its as cold as the end of October. Not to worry, I've got an excellent Satchmo biography 'Pops' on the go by Terry Teachout. Armstrong: there was a cat who had character.

Quite possibly the Rolls Royce of builders' tea - Red Label. Probably a bit weak in this Tesco batch though.

Badger Original.  £1.30 from the Co-Op.  Not bad value, as Philip Larkin used to say.

Had a swift pint of 'Clerkenwell beer in Leather Lane at this trendy new establishment yesterday

Reasonably priced though some of their beers are expensive. Barmaid was a bit dopey.

Had a swift lunchtime pint of Woodford Wherry today in The Gunmaker on the other side of the road. Very busy.

The most powerful and nutritious drink humanly possible in the entire world. NOTHING surpasses this!!!

Feeling like l have gone to heaven. Nuff said!

Now off to see my hero's perform a worldclass concert while l am feelin' on cloud 556.

Is it an archetypal wine?

Many times I've no particular interest in the alcohol. I'm more than happy to drink a good tasting non alcoholic beer or wine. In fact I'd love it.

Look forward to your final list and tastings hepcat.

Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around “as high as a kite”, a government official has said.

Lara Giddings, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania, said the kangaroo-like marsupials were getting into poppy fields grown for medicine. She was reporting to a parliamentary hearing on security for poppy crops.

Australia supplies about 50% of the world’s legally-grown opium used to make morphine and other painkillers.

“The one interesting bit that I found recently in one of my briefs on the poppy industry was that we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles,” Lara Giddings told the hearing.

“Then they crash,” she added. “We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high.”

Rick Rockliff, a spokesman for poppy producer Tasmanian Alkaloids, said the wallaby incursions were not very common, but other animals had also been spotted in the poppy fields acting unusually.

“There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten some of the poppies after harvesting and they all walk around in circles,” he added.
