Like others, I don't have the studio space to have cups everywhere, and also, once I finish a cup of tea it's usually dry, so why bother wasting another clean cup when you're just going to put the same drink in it?bzyglowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564099205654636171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-24455554122588675182009-05-06T13:11:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:11:00.000-04:00I do the same thing but with glasses of water!
