Yawning
,
and
smearing
my
eyes
with
my
fingers
,
I walked
into
the
kitchen
and
filled
the
kettle
____________________
with fresh water
from
the
____________________
,
checking
with
my
hands
to
make
sure
it
was
cold
.
I
was
not
____________________
at
making
tea
,
I
knew
how
to
make
it
.
The
best
tea
comes
from
the
coldest
water
according
to
my
granny
?

I glanced outside
for
a
minute at
the city mist
.
I
was
____________________
sunshine
and
the
weather
to
be
____________________
but
I
could almost
taste the
grey
in
the
____________________
.
I
plugged
the
kettle
in and
switched
it
on
____________________
.
As
the
kettle
began
to
hiss
,
I looked
for biscuits
in
the
chest
of
____________________
.
Anything
bigger
than
crumbs
.
For
some
reason
,
biscuits
are always
nicer
when
they
____________________
nuts
and they've
gone
a
bit dry
.
I took
the
milk out
of
the
fridge and
poured
some into
my
mug
that
I'd left
out
from
having
used earlier
.
It
is
a
ceramic
mug
with
pictures
of
____________________
remains
.
I
had
a
____________________
of
mugs
to
choose
from
but
that
____________________
mug
was
my
favourite
.
The
kettle began grumbling
fiercely so
I took
it
from
the
cord
,
threw
a
teabag
into
my
cup
and
poured boiling
water onto
it
.
A
few
minutes
____________________
.
I removed
and
squeezed the
teabag
,
then
flicked
it
into the
bin
.
I
picked
up
my
mug
and
left
the
kitchen
with a nice
,
hot cup of strong
tea
.
It
had
a
____________________
taste
.
Then
I
looked
for
a
____________________
place
to
sit
.
I
laid
down
on
the
sofa
and
started
reading
.
That
?
s
how
I
started
to
spend
my
____________________
time
on
a
Saturday
morning
.
