This is free and open source software.

I use the stopwatch on my classic Casio F-91W wristwatch. I leave the black tea bag in for 5 minutes for an ideal cuppa. 🙂
I don’t drink tea 🙂
With so many different teas out there — surely you like at least one of them? Let me guess – you drink coffee? I never liked the taste or smell of coffee.
Afraid not. I don’t even like the smell of tea. I’m a bean to cup coffee lover!
The world would be extremely dull if we all liked and disliked the same things. 🙂
Indeed!
