Tonight, I put on the kettle (instead of microwaving water) and made some green tea. Then I pulled out my adorable pink thermos and unscrewed it for the first time since last December. Big mistake. Probably should have cleaned it out sooner. Because I had forgotten to take the tea bag out in all those months. The tea didn't actually go moldy, no, that was fine, but it was my British way of drinking it that got me in trouble. You know how milk smells sour after a few weeks? Yeah, try nine months.
Moi: When you were in Australia, did they use the kettle a lot?
Amy: Yeah! They loved it over there! I used it all the time.
What is it with these countries and the Queen and the kettle?
