The Giant Mug To The Rescue...

One of my pet peeves is being in the drawing groove

and then you reach out to take a sip of tea

and the mug is empty

I swear I have mysteriously self emptying cups

I have no memory of drinking them

but every time I turn around they are empty

and then you get up to make another

and you notice that the floors need washing

the clothes need folding

the dog looks like he needs a cuddle

the kitchen is still buried under breakfast rubble

and before you know it

the domestic guilt tips over the edge and you find yourself

cleaning and fluffing, and doing all those mundane but necessary jobs

and the drawing and painting is put to one side

lost in the fog of bleach and fabric softener...

But now the solution is at hand

I found what is possibly the biggest mug

in the history of mugs

and wonder of all wonders it is still quite fine 

I hate those thick edge mugs

and inevitably humongous mugs have unpleasant edges

Tea2 has again saved the day 

not only with the world's biggest pure white mug

but they even wrapped and packaged it in this gorgeous paper

and I can now happily draw and paint

for twice as long as before 

and while that may mean that the house

slowly disintegrates to a point where

it may in fact be easier to move out rather than get in and clean the sucker

at least I will have plenty of tea to keep me going 

which is all that matters isn't it...xx
