Sip Away Writer’s Block: The Magic of Tea

#Today #3Things

1. My keel is more even today after our canine bereavement on Monday. I'm incredibly sad and missing him a lot but am thankful that he's no longer struggling or in pain, and doing my best to remember the good moments (of which there are many). #DogsOfMastodon

2. Wife is in Davao seeing her brother for a couple of days, as she does most months, while I look after our other dogs Max and Snowy. I think the change of scene will help her process her grief.

3. I am not a #tea drinker (aside from peppermint which I love but doesn't count). Much more of an #espresso addict. Today I tried #LadyGrey tea for the first time to see why people rave about it. Just black, no milk or sugar. Found it rather nice, with the extra citrus notes balancing out the #EarlGrey base. 8/10, will have again.

Any time I encounter a glass Hen On Basket, it reminds me of my great-grandmother.

Just gone through a taster pack of different #EarlGrey variants. 🫖

Earl & #LadyGrey - known quantities. Love them.

Strong Earl Grey - Rinsing your mouth with #Bergamotte. Good. 😂

#Lavender Earl Grey - It had not occurred to me that my life was lacking lavender flavoured #BlackTea, but definitely worth a try. But what does Bergamotte do in it? And vice versa?

#Vanilla Earl Grey - #vanilla flavoured black tea can be lovely. But again: what does Bergamotte do in it? And vice versa?

Turquoise is still my favorite color.

Tea is a Sunday- saver as I savor my Sunday.

Heute probiere ich mal den alkoholfreien Aperitivo von @herrgruenkocht aus. Spannende Zutat: Backpflaumen.

My dad's lifelong dream was to own a sailboat. He finally realized his dream.... Eventually, he admitted that having a boat is like opening a hole in the water that you just constantly throw money into. 🤣
