A decent guide to tea grades here. Even with higher end teabags, any tea dust created (e.g. if the teabag gets squashed) gets trapped inside the bag. The tea dust makes for a more bitter cup.

My partner has hearing loss, so her speaking volume sometimes doesn't match the background. Even when it's just the two of us hand signals are useful, as they can be dropped without breaking the flow of conversation. We use basically the same as a sound tech uses to indicate back to the desk at a show - upturned palm lifting for louder, downturned palm lowering for quieter.

Rockbox, by any chance? I have fond memories of playing doom with that scroll wheel...

Nightjar is worth a mention. Excellent cocktails with live jazz. Reservations basically essential.

Had to cut a walk with the dog short earlier, as we were both overheating. Lovely now though (at just gone eleven at night...)

There's a breakdown of roaming charges by network on the MoneySavingExpert site - you might not actually need to do much.
