3 Good Things (again)

1. My cat sat on my knee, all warm and furry.

2. Waiting in anticipation for the cup of black coffee         at my side to cool to just the right temperature to         enjoy.

3. Washing out on the washing line.

That is my way too (the majority of my relatives seem to have asbestos mouths and find my coffee "pause first" habit most puzzling).

I mostly drink luke warm stuff as I forget and leave it.

But at least I drink something.

That's a good idea.

Thank you.

I sometimes use a mug, plus a small, wide-necked, stainless steel, screw top, insulated tumbler / thermal mug / flask at 0.3 L / 0.33 L / 0.35 L / 0.5 L. 

I pour some into my mug and also reserve some in a thermal mug / flask (still kept warm for later). 

This technique works well for me e.g. attending a course / reading / studying / painting or drawing / outdoors / travelling / taking a break during a walk.

The ones I tend to use are by Lifeventure (£14 to £16, depending on the colour) - they don't have handles - they fit neatly into my: rucksack side pod / cross-body kettle bag / car mug holder.

I have also seen Highlander (£11) do a very similar one.  I have yet to try those ones.

A more budget-friendly option is a 0.5L generic stainless steel flask (£7 to £9) from supermarkets , Argos, Robert Dyas etc.

Ha ha

I get frustrated when I get absorbed in something and my coffee has gone past the perfect point and it's too cool.

Luckily the coffee maker makes two large cups, so I have a second attempt to get it right.
