I only picked up two of the Winter Teas from DAVIDsTEA as initially there were only two that interested me: this one and Hot Chocolate. I’m kind of starting to regret not grabbing Cardamom French Toast since all of the reviews have been so positive. My mom got the entire collection though, so maybe I’ll steal a cup from her. She seems to like it enough to stock up, anyway…
There’s something so appealing about the smell of this blend though: it reminds me of Sangria quite a lot but without that licorice root sweetness. The intensity of the fruity flavours and juiciness of the citrus though! That carries over well, but with a bubblegum like sweetness. My first taste was hot: and it was really wonderful!
I’ve been having a stressful time with my laptop the last few days – I keep getting hard disk/drive failure warnings every ten minutes or so and my laptop is definitely showing signs that it is indeed failing. It’ll unexpectedly crash, things are taking ages to load, and so many other concerning things. I literally just replaced the hard drive about a year and a half ago after it suddenly, and without warning, just failed. One night I shut Aurthour (my laptop) down for the night and the next morning he wouldn’t boot up. I’m terrified that will happen again. However, at least this time I’ve gotten a heads up and been able to back up all of my important files (which I hadn’t last time – I lost SO MUCH information). I’m hoping I can get into a repair shop by the end of the week and will be able to repair the hard drive before it fails so I don’t have to rely on a backup. Aurthour just has to hold out that long…
Anyway, all of that is just to say that when I brewed up this cup I was sitting frantic on my bed desperately backing up files. Had I not had such a fruity, sweet cuppa to sip on my nerves would have been absolutely fried and I would have been in a much greater state of panic. Instead I managed to divert the energy that would have been spent stressing out on focusing on the flavour notes: bubble gum, orange, ginger, clove, apple. Sweet, effervescent flavour grounded with soft spices. Yum yum.

You could get an extra hard drive and move all data to that drive. You can even install some programs on an extra drive. I just did that this year.
That is terrifying, and shows how backing up data is always necessary (and something I fail to do, ugh). How old is your laptop anyway?
The laptop is approximately 3 1/2 to 4 years old: the original hard drive failed when it was around two years old and this second hard drive is just now failing about a year and a half after that.
