I drink big flasks of tea when on a day off, trying to write. When I have finished said tea, I like to tip the tea bag out into the cup cap type thing and squeeze the last bit of strong semi-warm tea and savour the taste. Sometimes the tea bag doesn't drop out immediately and I have to search around a bit, shake the flask, or even reach in and drag it out. Today I had two flasks of tea, the first one was absolutely unremarkable, tipped the tea bag out as normal. Flask 2: No bag. The tea had tasted perfectly normal. I shook the flask. Still no bag. Looked deep into the flask. Checked the lid again. I don't think I forgot to put a bag in. I think the bag will show up some day, under the couch or in the fish tank - they were the only witnesses to this weird occurance.
I sometimes worry that pointless blog posts take up energy that someone (perhaps even myself) could have otherwise spent reading an important newspaper, or feeding themselves. Hmmmm.

Update: Found an unused tea bag near the kettle....
You. Are. Mental.
Now that I think of it - the efforts to write on the 2nd flask weren't all that successful - the secret is in the Tea
Sad to hear the possibly prosaic solution to the mystery... had ingenious poirot style theory... sigh...my moment of glory gone..
the unused tea bag could've been a plant though? i mean i really did think it tasted normal
So very odd...
Ok, here's new revised theory...
Unused tea bag just fell out of cupboard when you were making your tea. Tea bag is still in flask. Its stuck to the side inside the flask, on the curve. If you filled flask with water, maybe it would appear.
Or maybe I need to just go to bed, I think my brain is bleeding.
