during yesterday’s epic-for-me day, in prep for anticipated periods of unknown duration of gas & water needing to be turned off, i had filled my #thermos flask with boiling water at 0630. as things turned out, those service interruptions were only brief, so the thermos was not needed to be used "in anger". after the big job was finished, & all the kind wondrous tradies had departed, & i began the process of trying to amp myself back down, i thought 'aha, a nice calming cuppa might be the ticket', & chose to make it via the thermos. as it was then ~1630, & as a confirmed pessimist who has always doubted her flask's efficacy only to have been proven wrong over the years, i naturally once again suspected the ooniverse g0ds might have tepidified the water over that 10 hrs. thus i cunningly chose to stick my index finger into the stream as i filled da mug from da flask.. & yes we dropbears certainly can yelp with the best of them. several hours later, post-dindins, i decided to make my usual postprandial cuppa again from da flask. you're never gonna guess wot happened. never ever nah uh! 🙄🤦‍♀️ #twoshortplanks
