Crap, it's hot. Unbearably hot. This summer can't be over soon enough, it's been crazy, I'm sick and tired of being constantly sticky with sweat, ugh. And it's not like I can take three showers a day, that would be the end for my skin. Double ugh. And there's the issue of my blood pressure dropping when it's hot. So I'm spending most of my free time reclined on the couch, close to the air conditioning but not too close because I enjoy my lungs pneumonia-free, thank you very much.

I have another meme today, courtesy of space_oddity_75. It was a great excuse to clean up my bag, it was a mess.



It's a bag meme, so here's my summer bag! Well, one of them. I'm currently using the blue one I bought in Rhodes, the little Sherlocked one, and a Beatles one too, because I love using different ones everyday. This one I bought on Etsy last year, and decorated with a bunch of Sherlock pins and a little witch I bought with some friends, because I love witches. ^^



Let's see what's inside, starting from the top left corner. A denim hat, very cute and obligatory in this blasted sun. A shopping bag that I got free at the perfumery. My meds bag, which was originally for lipstick and the likes, and that I use to carry emergency meds, as my motion sickness wristbands (bless them!), bandaids for blisters, eyedrops. Tissues and more tissues, keys to the garbage can (yes, we do have those in Venice now, we're paranoid rays of sunshine here). A little sugar packet my therapist gave me when I fainted last week. Lipgloss, a pen, sunglasses, the kind that get on top of my regular glasses, very comfy. A little umbrella I bought at the British Museum last spring, panty-liner, hand sanitizer. Wow, I'm coming across as a hygiene freak. Oops. My Tardis wallet, for money, and my Rosetta Stone wallet (again, British Museum) for papers and cards. My beloved Sherlocked iPod, with the greek bag I keep it in when I'm not using it (it also contains a usb driver that I carry everywhere). Cellphone with its case (the phone has a Sherlock sticker on the back too). Last but not least, the Kindle in its bag. I only carry it outside the house when I know I'll have to wait somewhere: post office, bus station, my doctor's waiting room.



According to the description, it's a tea that's bigger on the inside. It is, as in, I can't describe the taste like I did for the others. There's some licorice, and something smoky, but it's very mysterious indeed. I saw someone on Tumblr used it to make blue macarones too. :D With my Mary Poppins cup, obviously!



And last but definitely not least, the Reichenbach Recovery tea! The main feature here is hazelnut, so it tastes like a mix of nutella and hot cocoa. Not too sweet, though, but very comforting. I'm absolutely in love with this one, I drink it with little to no sugar, and a generous splash of milk. It's the sort of tea I would leave on the kitchen counter with a plate of cookies for Santa Claus. ^^

Tomorrow will be a day with Tati, we're going to do some amazing shopping, so there will be more pictures. *____*

Yay, I'm so glad you took up my bag meme! Btw, that was an old one, I guess it's about time I updated it. Anyway, I love your bag with the tree on it and the lovely Sherlock pins. It looks very comfy, too. - Also, the bonus cat tail and paws in the pic totally made me smile! :)

The Reichenbach recovery tea is something I'd like to taste. I like my tea not too strong and I also must be careful not to have it more than once a day because my pressure goes up quite fast if I drink too much caffeine, so that seems like a good one for me. I've bookmarked the link to the Adagio Teas website so that I can buy something once I've finished some of the older stuff from my already overflowing tea cabinet. :)

C'era stata una discussione con Sakura, ma come mi giravo per prendere la macchina fotografica, ecco che saltava di nuovo sul divano. Come al solito, ho gettato la spugna io per prima. :D

Con questo caldo ho un sonno terribile, e non ho ancora cenato. Mi ci vorrebbe davvero un pò di caffeina, ma sono a regime, solo una tazza di the al giorno. Con gli attacchi di panico e tutto, meglio evitare l'adrenalina. Peccato però, ci vorrebbe proprio!

Ah, la capacità dei gatti di infilarsi ovunque ^^ Comunque sto schiattando pure io per il caldo, non ne posso più.

L'idea che abbiamo solo iniziato il mese più caldo mi sta deprimendo tantissimo. Considerato poi che quest'anno non vado in vacanza da nessuna parte, vorrei tanto la possibilità di saltare Agosto a piè pari e atterrare direttamente a Settembre!

Once again I find myself whole-heartedly approving of a post of yours.:) Here's why: It's too f-ing hot for bleeding words; I adore your bag without the pins and the witch, but those little details make it perfect; Thanks for showing the content of your bag; I, too, am appreciative of Sakura's cameo in the photo; The teas and the cups are once again brilliant.

And hoorah for a good day with Tati tomorrow!:)

Looking forward to more photos and have a lovely week!x

So unbelievably hot. This is like the scene in the Magic Flute with the cavern of fire, only three months of that, no cavern of water, and no prize or magical bird-girl in sight. Just fire, fire, fire.

(I should stop listening to Opera when I'm tired. It sometimes overlaps every other thought.)

We had a little fight with Sakura there, she kept jumping on the couch everytime I turned my back to get the camera. As usual, she won. ^^"

Una borsa funzionale, come piace a me! :)

Soprattutto bella grande, quando esco di casa devo avere il minimo indispensabile, e il mio minimo indispensabile deve bastarmi anche in caso di attacco alieno. ;)
