Drops collect and fall in front of the window. As a gust blows in, one startles a young leaf that #fling|s it into the puddle beside the cobblestone.

I put on my jacket and step outside. The rain #percolate|s through layers until the last grain of blue has washed out.

What's for breakfast?

Coffee and pinto beans.

Guess I'm having cereal. You're not using a Keurig again are you?

The percolator's out in the shed.

Damn, the sound of squirting 💩s isn't going to help my appetite. #converstory #vss365 #percolate

Mia watched the coffee #percolate. “This is weird.”
Tom slipped his arms around her waist. “You like the quiet before the world gets up, but we have a blank slate & no plans.”
“I don’t feel guilty.”
“Good, you’ve left the Mia-machine at home.”
She turned to kiss him. #vss365

He didn’t want a free tea or coffee so he yanked open the fridge of cold cans.

Mildred glared at him from behind doily-lined plates of Garibaldi, Pink Wafers & Rich Tea. Did they even still make doilies?

‘It’s two pounds per cola,Terry.’

‘Oh. Any squash?’

#TIL: The word »#perk« as in bonus, extra, isn’t some Germanic or similar root word, but short for #perquisite, a word i had never come close to before.
O, and perk is also a verb, used basically only on #coffee: short for #percolate.
