The heat wave is still here and going strong, and truly unbearable. Walking outside feels like having someone holding a wet handkerchief over one's face. My therapist cancelled our session this morning, and while that's usually disappointing, I have to admit I wasn't really looking forward to walking through half of Venice in this ungodly heat. And it looks like it'll be here for another two days at least.

And now for the good news, this afternoon a package from Adagio Teas arrived! Very surprisingly, because I ordered these teas one week ago, and it usually takes them a month and a half to get here. Last time I ordered a package, a nice lady at customs, in Milan, told me that I had to ask the sender to print out the receipt, with the contents and the total amount of money I had paid, and stick it to the outside of the package, to speed things up. Just one week though! That's magic!


This is the first time I ordered teas from someone other than Cara McGee. I went with my most recent love, Welcome to Night Vale; from left to right, "All Hail The Glow Cloud", "Beneath Lane 5", "(Welcome to) Desert Bluffs", "(Welcome to) Night Vale", "The Whispering Forest" and "Old Woman Josie and the Angels".


Two teas from The Lord of the Rings, "The Brave Gardener" and "Dragon's Dream", and two from Game of Thrones, "Lannister Royal Tea" and "Stark Winterbrew".

Some of these have ingredients I have never tried, and all are original blends, I can't wait to try them! Sadly I can only drink one cup a day (with the heat I have trouble sleeping and caffeine doesn't help), so it'll take a while to taste them all. :D

In other news I just finished watching the 2011 miniseries Neverland. I'm a huge fan of both Alice and Tin Man, so I had great expectations for this one. Sadly, I found it to be incredibly boring. It really took an effort to get to the end without dozing off, and then there wasn't even a ending, not really. I feel cheated. But mostly bored.

Buono il consiglio della doganiera (ci sono anche persone gentili?!?), metti che dovessi ordinare mai qualcosa da fuori... io comunque con sto caldo sono ormai sottoterra, ci sono 30 gradi e sono le dieci di sera o_0

Yumm, tutti quei té sembrano deliziosi! Mi sa che devo provare ad ordinarne qualcuno anch'io. ^^

Qui il caldo è orrendo, quindi come regalo di compleanno per la figlia (che compie 10 anni il 18 agosto) abbiamo preso una bella piscina. E' l'unico modo di resistere a queste temperature: l'altro giorno la belvetta è stata in ammollo con le amiche dalle 2 alle 6 del pomeriggio! :)

Ma che meraviglia tutte queste nuove buste *_*
Navigando il sito ho scoperto che ci sono anche dei mix ispirati a Cowboy Bebop e ora vorrei provarli tutti *___*
Ho notato però che il sito europeo non ha tutte queste belle cosine... tu ordini dal sito americano? :(
