Hmm. Received two tea bags from derk, but for some reason it was forgotten. And moreover not even in my virtual cupboard. I decided to brew it 5 minutes in freshly boiled water, without any checking how I should make it. And by coincidence I prepare it fairly similar to derk. THANK YOU to California.
Anyway to the tea; I needed something to calm nerves a bit, and this worked beautifully. I did not passed mathematics exam I took today (yes, in Saturday), which indeed made me sad. I had so high hopes. So next week re-sit.
This tea struck my nose with its spearmint notes. Refreshing, fresh; then hints of flowers and in background hints of vanilla. Brewed, vanilla notes with flower notes are there in aroma, but in taste it is mellow vanilla flower tea. With cooling aftertaste of spearmint. It is bit sweet for my tooth, but basically I can’t say any disparaging word.
No song pairing, okay, let’s make one (cover from Bob Dylan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMurtgI1CTI
Food pairing: store-bought chocolate mousse

Sorry about your exam, Martin. I hope the resit goes well (:
So sorry, Martin. Exams can be so stressful and I know it’s disappointing when you’ve spent so much time studying for them. On another note, your photo is gorgeous. I’m also quite impressed that you mow your grass with a scythe!!
Oh, I love your bee beetle! And such a pretty daisy!
I hope the resit goes well! Meanwhile, relax and breathe, and enjoy the beauty of nature around you.
The Bob Dylan cover is good, his voice is well suited to it.
Nattie: I hope as well. I felt really miserable after I found out that I failed.
Shae: Exactly said! I don’t want to have it easy, but little lowering standards or… I don’t know, but I am feeling enough of this. It’s like some line I can’t cross somehow. My mind is stuck in the middle to pass/fail. Mowing grass with scythe is relaxing :) and thank you for noticing my photo.
ashmanra: thank you! I hope too, today I enjoyed free day, but tomorrow studies start again. Not only this subject but two others I will have in Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Today is not that wonderful day, but still nice to sit down, watch Crew Dragon travel to ISS. I am also glad that you liked the cover of Bob Dylan.
Try not to be hard on yourself, you’ve had a lot of exams and it’s even more stressful than usual right now. You’re doing really well.
That butterfly is a good picture too. Good luck on the next round. Never Surrender!
