Hi Trif. You are on vacation!
9:24 am
Trifioso

boy, am I ever a slug today! woke up really early, then fell back to sleep in pure joy when I realized it was saturday
9:25 am
Scrabbler

Me too. I awoke at 0556 then went back to sleep until 0855.
9:25 am
Trifioso

I woke up about 20 minutes ago!

Great for you!

I'm plum worn out. and there is still quite a lot of stuff to do around here!
9:26 am
kje

not really, but I'm enjoying a book in the quiet being the only one up, so it's all good
9:26 am
Scrabbler

I have to wrap many gifts.
9:26 am
Trifioso

I have never been this far behind going into a Christmas holiday
9:27 am

will start baking here when this book is done (listening as I babble)
9:28 am
Trifioso

I sense that a lot of people are in the same sort of non-christmasy boat this year. People just don't seem as in to it as usual
9:28 am
Scrabbler

I wish I could listen to podcasts or audiobooks, but my brain needs to see words.
9:29 am
kje

took me a while, and still some books just won't work for me that way, but I like that I can do things like cooking, walking to work, exercise, etc and get some "reading" done
9:29 am
kje

ind nonfiction easier than fiction on audio
9:29 am

I tend to listen to books on long car rides

maybe wrapping gifts today or baking will help, trif... it helps for me
9:30 am
Trifioso

all the gifts are done . its the tree, which is up and lit, but no decors, no crèche up yet, minimal things around the house....
9:31 am

Finished wrapping last week, then gave holiday concert on Tuesday and Thursday
9:31 am

the tree and lights... maybe a cup of coffee on a cool morning by the tree?
9:32 am

That is a tough change, Trif.
9:35 am

understood, trif... my mom died in 2012 just days before xmas. I think there is still joy there somewhere - just have to look at it all differently
9:36 am
kje

ty mixi!
9:36 am
Trifioso

i know, i know, i still have many, many things to be happy about. I just need to get off my fat butt and get in gear
9:37 am
kje

will you be able to see your mom at xmas?
9:37 am
Trifioso

on the actual day? we could, but I am afraid I would get all upset, and that wouldn't help her much.
9:38 am
kje

ah
9:39 am
kje

hahaha - my last word was ci4
9:39 am
Scrabbler

She is in the right place for her right now.
9:39 am
Trifioso

a nice, happy visit the day after would probably be better. I don't know why I am so twisted up about it. she is SO happy in her new home, and it really was the best decision for her, and for our family.
9:39 am
kje

that seems appropriate - ci4/5 all - I'm off to bake.
9:39 am

oooh, thank kje! didn't have that one!

there are angels out and about!...i went out to move my car and two idiots had not moved their cars in time for the plow, so my usual space was full of snow...A new neighbor was shoveling (an area that she did NOT have to shovel for her car)....when i went to join her, her father came out and asked to use my shovel and proceeded to finish shoveling the whole row with his daughter....i was a happy camper, especially because the snow was so heavy!

Done --- off to try my hand at French macaroons. Have fun all.
11:32 am
Buggie

Fun fact, the coloured pastries with a filling in between aren't French macaroons. They're Parisian. Actual French macaroons are made with almonds and have a much longer history, they go back to the Middle Ages. There are lots of regional variants. Parisian macaroons were invented about a century ago.
11:43 am
rururocks

interesting.. the macaroons I know are coconut based
11:45 am
Buggie

actually, technically any of the recipes from France should be called macarons, because they are not the same thing as the anglosaxon macaroon, which is coconut based
11:46 am
rururocks

Bouchon Bakery has real French ones here.. they are super expensive and I've never tried them
11:47 am
Buggie

(as a kid I learnt to make coconut macaroons in primary school in England, took me years after coming to France to understand why the macarons were so different)
11:49 am
Buggie

they're not that hard to make. the normal ones are made a lot like coconut macaroons, the parisian ones I think the hard part is cooking them at just the right temperature
11:53 am
rururocks

hmm
11:53 am
rururocks

recipe looks pretty easy
12:07 pm

The French bakers are always more froo-froo than the rest of the plebeians

Hi Mo. Compliments of the season :)
2:24 pm

hi soodle .. and too to you and your family.
2:25 pm

are you all set for the celebrations?
2:26 pm
Soodle

Well, Mo, what's not done now - ain't getting done!!! How about you?
2:28 pm
mo

I agree ... too late now.
2:29 pm
mo

but I must confess I don't have any presents to buy.
2:30 pm
mo

We just try and relax and enjoy the occasion.
2:30 pm
Soodle

Relaxing now, with a well earned glass of wine & catching up on Peaky Blinders. The 3 offspring are all home, my parents are catered for, the turkey is bought & the gifts wrapped. Fire is lit - all is well in the world of Soodle :)
2:32 pm
mo

that sounds good soodle ... enjoy your Christmas and to all who are babbling....
2:32 pm
Soodle

Indeed!
2:34 pm

Will you be doing the turkey dinner thing?
2:38 pm

OH. Yes my hubby and I will share the cooking .... me being the boring bits!!!
2:39 pm

sorry ... "doing"the boring bits.#
2:40 pm

how about you?
2:40 pm
Soodle

Ha! Men! They do all the glory bits & us women peel potatoes, scrape carrots & all the non-glory, but essential work. Typical!
2:41 pm
mo

too true.
2:44 pm
Soodle

My daughter asked if she could take charge of Christmas dinner this year, which initially sounded great, until I remembered I am an utter control freak, and I would be haunting her & 'suggesting' alternative ways of doing things. We both agreed it would be best all round if I was left in command!
2:44 pm
mo

Soodle, have you finished Babble?
2:45 pm
Soodle

Not even close, Mo. I'm just dabbling at the moment. Peaky Blinders is taking most of my attention. I'm pausing it to chat!
2:46 pm
mo

I would let her get on with it and you keep out of the kitchen ...
2:48 pm
Soodle

Oh I wish I could...... Like I say - an utter control freak!
2:48 pm
mo

never watched Peaky Blinders.
2:50 pm
mo

just relax and enjoy your other company ... I am sure she will appreciate it and it cannot be a disaster!!
2:52 pm
Soodle

My Dad (hopefully) will be 90 in January. We had a lovely little Christmas getogether today in the Nursing Home for him. I was driving, so no hooch for me, but he drank several Irish coffees & was very mellow as I left. My Mum is 86 & going to spend the holidays with my sister. Apart from cooking dinner on the 25th, I have no obligations. It's the first time in years. I intend to chillax!

Yes. And although we are having a relatively cool Xmas, most of my food will be cold so I can prepare ahead
2:55 pm

2:55 pm

Ham, ocean trout, chicken and quail terrine, turkey roll and Jamie Olivers Christmas Bombe (ice-cream) etc etc

2:58 pm

I am the same ... prefer the countryside anyday.

2:59 pm

Sounds heavenly, Lynn. I just LOVE the sun & sand.
3:00 pm

Ah you would be one of those mad irish tourists that look like cooked lobsters after a day
3:01 pm
Soodle

Yup! When us Paddies see a drop of sunlight we bask! What's seldom is wonderful!
3:03 pm
Soodle

Side-note... Have finished Peaky Blinders & moved on to The Walton's. From the sublime to the.... I love Catch-up TV!
3:03 pm

I am enjoying The Crown - Season 2 - extremely good
3:06 pm
mo

trentsnana sorry I have only just seen your post .... thank you and the seasons greetings to you too.
3:09 pm
Soodle

Oh, Lynn - The Crown is brilliant! I wonder if Prince Philip really was the philanderer they are making out he was?
3:09 pm
trentsnana

Thanks, Soodle!
3:10 pm
lynxxx

I think it all must be true - surely the palace would be up for slander or libel if not??
3:11 pm
lynxxx

oops - not up for but would sue
3:13 pm
lynxxx

What a pity something like this wasn't done years ago, certainly shows the human side of the Royals - and therefore more likable
3:15 pm
Soodle

It's funny. When I watch a TV show on the normal television, I dip in & out of it. But when I watch a Netflix show on the iPad, in bed, I seem to get far more engaged with the characters & the plot. I am loving The Crown, which I never thought I would have much interest in.
3:16 pm
lynxxx

no ads!
3:17 pm
lynxxx

I watched Victoria (with Jenna Coleman) and thought that was excellent but The Crown ran rings around it.
3:18 pm
lynxxx

But my favourite this year has been A Handmaids Tale - watched it a couple of times (so far) - astonishingly good
3:19 pm
rururocks

Princess Michael of Kent sounds like a doozy
3:19 pm
MollyL

I watched some of The Handmaid's Tale. I thought it was creepy.
3:20 pm
lynxxx

not up to that bit yet Ru.
3:20 pm
Soodle

I haven't seen A Handmaids Tale. I enjoyed Alias Grace - another Margaret Atwood adaptation.
3:21 pm
rururocks

up to that bit?
3:21 pm
lynxxx

I forced myself to watch Alias Grace, good but not gripping
3:22 pm
Soodle

Molly - you liked Breaking Bad. I think you would really like Peaky Blinders.
3:22 pm
lynxxx

Ru, the Princess Michael of kent bit
3:22 pm
rururocks

oh.. she pulled a really rude thing off at a reception for Prince Harry and his fiance
3:23 pm
rururocks

kind of a racist gesture if you will
3:23 pm
Soodle

Designated Survivor is also quite watchable.
3:23 pm
lynxxx

oh I thought you meant in the series - I'll check it out
3:25 pm

afternoon all, sneaking in some babble
3:25 pm

A Handmaids Tale is only available on Hulu. Exclusive series like that are part of the streaming services way of getting you to subscribe.
3:26 pm
moolingwa

You can also buy it on Amazon too I believe
3:26 pm
lynxxx

Ru - mmm seems like a woman you wouldn't want to call a friend
3:26 pm

or maybe it's just that you can share it there
3:26 pm

hey lyn
3:27 pm
lynxxx

Handmaids Tale free here
3:27 pm
rururocks

she's apologized for her "error" .. I think it was a deliberate thing.. she's had issues (racism) in the past.. she seems really creepy to me
3:28 pm
lynxxx

exactly
3:29 pm
Soodle

A Handmaids Tale is getting enormous coverage in this part of the world. There is to be a Referendum in 2018 regarding legalising abortion & many pro-abortion activists reference the book/series.
3:33 pm
Bugsaw

Hadnmaid's Tale is too creepy for me and Princess Michael has always had a reputation for having poor taste.
3:33 pm
MollyL

The whole sex scene where the wife has the handmaid in between her legs and the husband is pumping it into the handmaid just creeped me out. I quit watching aver that.
3:33 pm
lynxxx

in what way are they using it - about other people deciding what a woman does with her body?
3:33 pm
MollyL

*After that
3:34 pm

Hello (((Bugs)))) Happy Christmas!
3:34 pm

I am with you Molly. I won't watch any more either.

Bugsaw

waves furiously to Soodle!! My son and I are planning a trip your way in September of 2018. I hope we can pop round for a drink and laugh.
3:35 pm
Soodle

I never saw or read it, so I'm unsure of it's significance in terms of the abortion referendum.
3:36 pm
Soodle

Wahoo, Bugs!!! I am looking forward to it already!!
