  • Paradox Tea Timer

    As you should know – I love to drink “real” loose leaf tea.

    If I was doing this properly I would be consistently using a timer to know when my tea is perfectly brewed. Never one to go for a “standard” item, I found this:

    Rather than sand falling down through the hourglass the little beads float upwards – it’s quite mesmerising to watch.

    I got it from my local tea shop Pekoetea.

  • Genius – Star Wars Speeders

  • The Wirecutter

    This is one of the better review sites out there.

    Not just a review of a single item – they pick a category and then select items in that category and then narrow down until they find a winner. They explain the process and their finding along the way.

    It is a US based site so all of the links tend to go to Amazon.com but there have only been a couple of times I have not found what I have been looking for on the amazon.co.uk site.

    Some examples of categories would be:

    Fitness Trackers

    Carry On Luggage

    Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I would have done something like this but …..

  • Things That Annoy Me – I’m not easily annoyed!

    For the last month or so I have allocated a “category” to each day and done my best to schedule in advance a post in that category.

    I thought that I was getting more “Victor Meldrew” in my old age and getting annoyed by trivial daily occurrences. When it came to actually documenting them – I’m coming up dry. I’m obviously much more placid than I thought I was.

    So – you may know me better than I know myself – what topic of posts would you like to see from me on a Friday going forwards?
