I thought it would be nice to have a flask of hot chocolate on the train back from my Faber course. Last week, used an old flask: too cold. This week, used a new flask: too hot. If anyone knows where Baby Bear keeps their flask, do let me know! 👱🏻‍♀️🐻🐻🐻

Having had a look at the numbers, they haven't said it so I will... it takes about 30 people to chip in a fiver a month to let the Working Classicists team meet their 'here's how we'd like to run' operating costs.
