I went to pick up Owen from school today at 4:30 (he has orchestra after school on Mondays) and walked out of the door with a mug of tea in my hand, not a mug with a lid, mind you, but a true mug. As I get into the car, I say to myself: "Self, you have a mug of tea in your hand." Then I answer myself with, "Just bring it." So I drive to Owen's school with an open mug of tea in my hand because the UK car has lame cup holders which won't hold it. That's when I realize that I have crossed over to the dark side and have acclimated a bit to British life because every so often, I see British people driving with open mugs and even twice I have seen cyclists holding an open mug whilst cycling and think how crazy that is.
And now I did it.
OMG!
A funny note is that I rarely see people walking along with thermal cups with lids. I hardly even see them sold in the stores and I remember a US friend, Nancy, talking about how she talked about selling them at school as a fundraiser and it was a novel idea. But I know why: Tea tastes gross in thermal mugs. Try it sometime. They do have thermoses though.
I will post on Amsterdam in a bit. We had a great weekend!
