a mistake is not the same as a lie

as it turns out, the coffee is pretty good. in fact, it's really good. there was just some kind of warming-up process that my taste buds needed to sort out. i made the mistake of brushing my teeth before the coffee, which is never good. it's not a comforting thing to have accurate sensory awareness when you live in Hackney. so yes, the coffee is very good. presentation plays a part, of course. i have a nice, thick mug, black on the outside, white on the inside, that describes something along the lines of an inverted, truncated cone. yes, i know i could have just said it's wider at the top than at the bottom, but then who was going to save the starving masses?
