Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you

  • Something humourous that happened to you

  • Something frustrating that happened to you

  • A quick question

  • A request for recommendations

  • Pictures of your pet

  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant

  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    I think I’ve just about managed to give up caffeine. At least, I’ve had my first backslide this week - who’s perfect, right?

      Good job! Must be hard to do in the middle of winter. Sometimes I have a coffee because I want a hot drink, not because I need caffeine.

        Peppermint tea is the shizz.

        I’ve been taking decent amounts of ginseng oolong for years, but caffeine’s horrible stuff really. I loved the way it coated the mouth like coffee and spirits do

          I’m not much of a tea drinker. Not peppermint or english breakfast or green tea. I don’t know why. Though I think peppermint is probably the one I’m most likely to warm up to (pun intended 😋).

          If there’s peppermint tea and camomile tea, etc. Then why isn’t coffee a kind of tea? 😆
