In which a cup of tea seems impossibly sophisticated


This morning has been a mixed success, I decided to have a cup of tea, mentally adjusting for camomile because it doesn't require any milk. We have one mug (it has a Springer Spaniel on it and tells you about the breeds history which was a Christmas present from the gun-dog Buster) so that part should be okay and T.P. said she packed a travel kettle so warm water shouldn't be a problem.

Sadly the travel kettle has a plug configuration I don't recognise so I'm not entirely sure where to plug it in. So my breakfast drink options are champagne, rum or gin. Not your classic starters.

If we had any pots or pans we could boil some water in one of those but all we have is a bread making tin so that is going to make things, tricky.

We do have a toaster, but no bread, jam or means of spreading jam.

This flat doesn't feel much like civilisation when you can't have a refreshing cup of Earl Grey and some marmalade on toast.

Well we have milk now but the kettle is still on strike.

I think gin is the most breakfasty of your options.

Gin is made from berries*, so it has to be good for you.
