Lipton Yellow

I've been drinking too much of it.

I can't sleep. Six hours ago I got into bed, exhausted. I'm still at Anne's house, and have been going to bed late, you see. This evening I got to bed early, to read before falling asleep.

Here I am.

I finished my book.

This afternoon at about five o'clock, I had a cup of tea. One cup turned into two.

I barely thought about the presence of caffeine in tea. The French call it théine, in fact.

It's 2:30 a.m. and I'm wide awake, wide awake, I'm not sleeping, no. (To cheesily quote Bono).

I'm sorry you didn't get to sleep when you wanted to, but I was happy to get to chat with you for a while.

Two words for you, though. De Caf.

Thanks, Allan. I had fun chatting. And I even got about 6 hours of sleep. Now, time for a cup of java! :-)
