Only it’s tea weather so much that “tea” has sud­denly become “te”, as my burnt tongue strug­gles with the motion of “eay” (te-eay). Would you like some te?

Tea and soup weather, that is. Not cof­fee because of awful instant and its amaz­ingly bland con­tex­tual asso­ci­a­tions (has any­one ever drunk instant cof­fee any­where inter­est­ing?), and the fact that real cof­fee is too far away/too expensive/with too many side effects I really don’t need, being awake and up/down plenty already. Any­way, tea is warmer. Cof­fee you spend your time wait­ing for it to cool because burn­ing your tongue with cof­fee is infi­nitely worse, as the taste imprints itself and won’t go away until you burn your tongue with some­thing else, and then, assum­ing you didn’t burn your mouth, end up drink­ing it luke-warm (yuck) as quickly as pos­si­ble because most hot drinks don’t taste any good luke-warm, least of all one that (when badly made from instant) prob­a­bly didn’t taste that great to start with. Sigh. So many peo­ple over-rate cof­fee (that sen­tence is meant to be like that, because cof­fee can be good but mostly isn’t and this fact is ignored by the masses, etc.).
