My #MondayMorningBeverage!

Yes, I should probably make my hot tea in a pot, and pour it into a little cute tea cup as I go, but I‘m a heathen, and why wash both when I can just wash 1 cup, plus I know I‘m going to drink it all. 🤪🤷‍♀️

dariazeoli Sounds completely rational to me! 👍 5y
Gezemice I do tea bags too. In America, that‘s commitment already. 5y

Hey, @cobwebmoth !

THANK YOU! You made my day. I ultimately decided not to spend extra money to get more tea, so this was a perfectly timed and much desired gift. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and I can‘t wait to try these 🖤

A tea giveaway! Thank you @umbrellagirl for this great idea. I love Earl Grey tea, but I think I'm most drawn to the Hot Cinnamon Sunset. I've never tried this brand before, but it sounds fabulous. #harneyteagiveaway

I just DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S NECESSARY.

SEE? Practically EVERY TIME he's been mentioned over the course of the first three books in this series, it's as "Jory Davis." Y'know, just in case we've forgotten over the course of the last six sentences. ?

I do have to say that it drives me up a wall that Childs feels the need to refer to some of these characters by their full name almost every time they're mentioned. In the space of two paragraphs, Jory is "Jory Davis" a total of about six times. We know these characters. We don't need to be reminded of their last names constantly. ?
