No doubt that this will give some people some ammunition to confirm their mistaken belief that I am old fool, a stupid old goat, lacking in mental faculties or some other derogatory remark but I asked the question in the first place. I did so to try and make people aware that we all make silly mistakes not just the once but the same silly mistake many times. However, if we are aware of it we can take corrective action if we choose to.

Returning home from the Post Office, after collecting what our government laughingly calls a pension, the milk was brought indoors and replaced with empties, the coat was hung up, the shoes were exchanged for slippers, the milk was poured into a saucepan to heat up for my morning coffee whilst the breakfast things were washed, dried and put away.

I prepared my mug to receive the hot milk and a split second before pouring it I became aware that the mug contained not only the sugar and coffee but also a tea bag and managed to stop myself from pouring the milk. I have absolutely no recollection of putting the tea bag into the mug but I am aware of spooning in the sugar and coffee. I don’t believe in mischievous fairies, poltergeists and other sundry non-earthly creatures. So I must have done it myself not only today but also once a few weeks ago.

I’m not sure what teaffee would taste like but I do know that tea and cocoa isn’t all that bad.
