Those of you Dear Readers who read this blog regularly will remember her rant about that excellent brand of thermos flasks, Stanley, that used to be made in America.
The company was sold and the items are all now manufactured in China.. sigh.. and now, well, they're no longer excellent at keeping anything hot or cold.
Last week she was rootling about in the bottom of a cupboard in the old boiler room looking for the anti-slip grips that she wears on the bottom of boots in extremely wet or icy weather and lookielookie, what did she find?
Why, none other than Constance's old and much loved 'Thermos' thermos!
She dustied it off, gave it a good wash and filled it with boiling water, screwed on the top and turned it upside down. Ahha! Not a drop or dribble of water emerged. She screwed on the cup and left the thermos in YumYum HQ and went about her business.
A full eighteen hours later she opened it up and poured a cup of.. still very hot water!
Yes, her basket is now heavier to carry but on cold days when she's busy digging making new vegetable beds or trundling back and forth up and down the track fetching barrow loads of horse manure, it is exceedlingly nice to be able to pour herself a mug of steaming hot LapySang tea.
Ahh yes.. hot tea. Coffee is delicious but it doesn't carry the same degree of warmth to one's body as tea does. Slurp.. I just lurve LapySang at anytime of the day or evening and luckily she does too
GeeGee Parrot.
