with a guess of 365 mugs of tea, compared to the 427 I actually drank (drumroll please)...
Gigi-Hawaii Many congrats to Gigi, please email your mailing details and within a couple of weeks I will have a Brit influenced Tea goodies box, on it's way to you. The closest runners-up were Jan with 498 and Mare with 502. Mmmmm who commented on the previous post that he thought he was close, hmmmm 690 actually! ;-)
It was a fun competition, so I will run it again this year, especially as I have no idea whether I am consistent in my tea consumption. So place your guesses in the comments here for a chance to win. 
On the rain front I have decided to go for a more accurate measure in 2010. Last year we had 44 '
incidences' of rain, but that tells me nothing about the quantity. So I will put our rain-guage to good use and report actual inches, which I have no doubt will tell a much better story on just how dry it is out here!
And in other news, I have decided to once again blog more regularly, after taking a step back the past 6 months. I did write more and achieve the dream of being paid for that, but I also got 'sucked in' by Facebook and wasted alot of time on it pointlessly. So yesterday I drastically cleaned out my FB account, removed it from my home page tab and resolved (my only one for 2010) to reinvest that time in my blog and writing. So for better or worse depending on your opinion, you're about to hear more from me again!
So you might have noticed my tea consumption has inexplicably gone through the roof suddenly. Last year I drank 427 mugs in the whole year, now just in January I drink 75 mugs! I do have a two-part explanation, which will undoubtedly continue to increase my tea consumption throughout 2010.First of all I was bought a cute teapot for work which I currently use every morning and it holds 2 mugs worth. Secondly I am 'reducing' (aka. dieting but I refuse to use that word!) and as a result I consume more tea to get my water in and curb my appetite. However, I still expect the hot tea rate to reduce somewhat in the summer.But I feel it's only fair to give you another chance to guess my final # of mugs for 2010. So if you're happy with your previous guess (here) you don't need to comment, but if you comment here I'll take this as your revised entry. New entries are also welcome to enter to win a prize of fine British tea goodies, with delivery in January 2011.And always remember to do as us Brits do and....
