Bootstrapping. Reminds me...
Last century, when I lived on instant coffee and ciggies, during a stretch of brokeness bad enough that I'd be going hungry, I woke up one morning absolutely bonked; no glycogen - I could barely drag myself out of bed.
Staggered to the kitchen to make a coffee, and horror of horrors, no milk! Black coffee literally unthinkable. I couldn't imagine how I would survive, barely able to lift a finger. What saved me was a gulp of flat Coke left in an old bottle in the fridge - that gulp of flat Coke was the most miraculously enervating elixir I've ever swallowed.
I then had just enough energy to carry my bike downstairs and ride the 100m to the milk bar around the corner and come back to put the kettle on. It felt like a brush with death!

Rushing trying to get things done before leaving this morning and I wondered why the coffee was so hard to press and the hot water to pre warm my travel cup had already got cold. Forgot to actually boil the kettle 🤦
In the end my OH is too ill to do the school run, so I'm sacking off the office and now enjoying an microwaved underbrewed coffee. Hopefully it will assist me with making the next ones.
