A Watched Pot

... never boils.
First thing every morning I make a cup of tea. But I find it hard to stand in the kitchen doing nothing waiting for it to boil. So I use those minutes to do something useful
  1. I might pop to the bathroom and clean my teeth
  2. Write a shopping list
  3. Match up the unpaired socks in the laundry bin
  4. Rip up yesterday's teabags - leaves into compost, bags into bin
  5. Empty the dishwasher
How do you fill those minutes?

  1. I stand and stare out of the window.
    (I use loose tea; better flavour in my opinion, and no microplastics in the teabags. 🫖☕️)

  2. I usually brush my teeth while I wait for the water to boil for tea in the morning. Or, if I have already brushed my teeth, then, I might put away any dishes that were left to air dry in the dish drainer. Or, open the drapes and feed the garden cats. :)
