Today, I find myself searching for an old livejournal userpic that some people had. It was animated and cycled through six pictures. Every other one was "Tea". It described various situations in which a stereotypical stoic British person would react by offering and drinking a cup of tea. The last one was something along the lines of "City blown up by terrorists? TEA!"

It probably dated from the 7/7/2005 London bombings, which was about a century ago in internet years, which is probably also why I can't find it on any of the journals which I thought had it. Still, if anyone knows what I'm talking about - and even better, if anyone still has the image - please post it for me!

In other news, it has been a decade in internet years since my last post here. I am currently significantly less ill than I have been for several months, but still nowhere near well. My mental health seems to have improved (in January? while housebound?!) but my chronic fatigue continues to be beyond awful. I seem to be having one or two days a week in which getting out of bed even to stagger to my computer desk doesn't seem to be possible. Hopefully somewhat on the mend though.

Also I need to cycle my own DJ userpics, very unhappy with the current selection!

1) Yay, seeing you here! (And I hope for continued improvement.)

2) I remember the one you mean! Though not alas where to find one these days.

Hello! I am glad someone found the TEA icon you were after, isn't the Internet great!

Sorry to hear your physical health is a bit shit, but hope that improves and I am glad your mental health is doing OK.
