Tea reviews, because I have some and I keep forgetting to write them!

Twinings Orange and Cranberry - I don't like this at all, and I don't know why. I suspect it's the orange flavour, as that also bugged me in the next tea, and I don't voluntarily drink orange juice as I don't like it. I did finish the box, though, as it sort of grew on me, but not enough for me to ever buy it again.

Tetley Cold Infusion: Peach and Orange - I was expecting this to taste more peachy, but it's very orangey, and I didn't like it for similar reasons to Twinings above. I haven't finished the box, and I won't be buying it again.

Aldi Diplomat Very Berry - I can't remember what mixture of berries is in this besides raspberry and cherry. Cherry is the dominant flavour, which I love. (I worry about raspberry because I don't like it in any way, shape, or form, so I was glad I couldn't taste it at all). I finished the box, but I think 40 bags is waaaaay too many (I drink one tea a day usually, so even if I were only using up one box, it would take over a month to finish off). I will probably buy this again, but I haven't been to an Aldi in literal months.

Lidl Peach and Raspberry - this one is really nice! And tastes very peachy, which obviously I love. Again, this comes in boxes of 40 bags, so it's going to last me a while.

I am still drinking the green rooibos with peach as well because it's effing awesome.

After putting off doing the Ronka Ruins/fighting the Archaeoavis for nearly a month, I finally put some time into FFV Advance!

I beat the Archaeoavis first time, but it was a bit of a slog, even though I was at the right level for where I should be (I've been running from as few fights as possible). Thankfully, I was prepared to counter Sap (which is what was my bane in that fight the first time I ever played, and thus the reason I hate that boss so much). Although I forgot Regen doesn't work the same way in this game as it does in later games (you get the cumulative HP at the end of the round, rather than it clocking up to counter Sap's running it down). But it worked, and I beat it!

I then got my ass handed to me by the Manticore in the meteor at Gohn multiple times, so eventually I looked up how to cheese it, and did that (all fighters; pummel it). Also died once versus the Purobolos at the Walse meteor, but then remembered how that fight works, and cheesed it with ice spells and summoning Shiva :D

And now I am in Regole, in the second world, about to grind for money for spells!
