New album out today, currently my favourite band.

This ⬆️. We need reeducation regarding food choices, including eating ethically.

As well as exercise, avoid processed foods, try to stay in calorie equity/deficit as required and drink plenty of water between meals. Meals should be vegetable heavy and portion sizes monitored.

Be aware when using this type of search that it will bring up all matches, not necessarily all are found in the UK.

Looks like an orb web spider to me, Harmless and reasonably common. If you're worried, just catch it in a jar or something similar and release it in the garden. Even if it is a False Widow, treat it the same way. I'm presuming you're in the UK? Brown Recluse spiders are native to USA and not normally found here. Don't kill little creatures if you can avoid it, they're having a rough time as it is.

Feel in the groove after todays win

Awesome band edit: I just saw the ticket prices 😳

Not tried the Glow but my neighbours bought me the wind down collection which were good. Shame about the company ethics as I really like their herbal teas

Sadly another one owned by a private equity firm with dodgy dealings (allegedly…)

They’ve been using indiscriminate targeting forever. Snipers shooting anyone who moves including children. Bombing of residential areas, convoys of refugees trying to flee, mosques, hospitals. They don’t care.

Pukka do ok on the ethical scale and have been recommended to me by friends but sadly les deux Marmottes were bought out by Jacobs Douwe Egberts who score very poorly

Another Brexit bonus… https://www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68726852.amp?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1&cap=swipe

I felt the same before becoming sick. It’s amazing how quickly the palate can change as I’m thoroughly enjoying them now and haven’t had a normal brew since. I’m with you on the leaf though, haven’t had a tea bag cuppa for years.

They have some of the most sophisticated intelligence networks and weapons in the world. This, like all of the other war crimes, are deliberate and they know that no one has the balls to do anything about it.

You probably won’t make a difference as long as you’re not taking them on a commercial basis. I’ve spent years taking part in insect/bird/mammal surveys and positively encourage everything in my garden (even wasps) to feed or breed without any disturbance from anyone and definitely no chemical fertiliser or insecticides, in fact I’ve been out last week putting up bee houses and bird boxes ready for this season.

I’ve done this before but sadly too busy (lazy) recently. I might have a go now spring is here. My garden is vast and already has a fantastic variety of plants growing.

I’m talking about the company not the tea and the ethics surrounding their relationship with the environment, their workers, use of pesticides, even their investments (arms, tobacco etc.). It’s my personal preference and I try be as conscientious as I can within reason. When I was ill, my neighbour bought me several packs of Twinings fruit selection and I thoroughly enjoyed them but I won’t buy them for the reasons above.

Highly rated from an ethical pov too 👍

Unfortunately, both tea pigs ang twinings score really badly on the ethical front.

Clipper?

Anyone drink herbal/fruit tea? When I had Norovirus a few weeks ago I couldn’t stomach any standard tea, the milk made me sick so my wife got some herbal and fruit teas (which I found disgusting)… After a few days I grew to like them and, apart from my one coffee every morning, I haven’t had a drink with milk since. I like to source from ethical companies so does anyone have any recommendations regarding flavours. I’ve only had a couple so far so want to find a favourite.

That’s so terrible, I can’t even begin to imagine how you’re feeling. I have no words to add as they would be inadequate. Please take care.
