Message in a Bottle (or tea canaster)

I once found a letter, 4 months after I was supposed to find it. Timing is critical. You can burn a piece of toast within 30 seconds and set your oversensitive fire alarm off (waking your pissed off neighbours for the 3rd time this week), your tea can be over steeped by 1 minute (making it more bitter than the taste he initially left on my tongue) and a letter 4 months late can change your entire perspective. I would write the letter down, but I can’t find it.

In the end, it didn’t matter that much. My tea is perfectly steeped, perfectly not bitter with a splash of milk just the way I like it.
