Christmas Songs and Christmas Trees
From Frenchless in France, 4 month ago Similar articles
It has slowly come to my attention that the French don’t do Christmas songs, at least no where on the scale of America. I play Christmas songs here on my Internet radio because that’s something I miss. I noticed that the song, Let It Snow, being sung by Dean Martin was the music for a French TV commercial and hear Perry Como singing The Christmas song in the background (along with many others) when I’m at the grocery store. My daughter in law had an English Christmas CD...

A satisfying run
From Lioness in Japan, Today, Similar articles
I used to run the 11km around Macritchie Reservoir with the kangaroo. I would always find it so hard to drag myself there and dodging trees roots and tripping over rocks would always make me groan inwardly, “Why the hell do I do this to myself'” But it always feels so damn good after I emerge from the jungle of trees. It’s one of my favourite places in Singapore. Do try and go for a hike or a run at least once if you are in Singapore. What’s the point of being in a...

Ottawa Tulips Festival ? 2012 Edition
From Correr Es Mi Destino, Yesterday, Similar articles
Hard to believe that just a few weeks ago, we got a surprise snow fall. The weather recently got warmer and it always feels humid. With all the rain we had lately, the trees, grass and plants are chlorophyll green and I think this time I can say it's spring. Finally. In May. The opening weekend of the 2012 Tulips Festival was very warm, and most of the flowers had just bloomed. Dow's Lake was packed and people were fighting to have their picture taken by the flower beds. Eh, this is Canada,...
The house is taking shape!

? The trees are still standing. Note the wobbly/homemade ladder. ?  ? looking forward to having coffee on the balcony off our new bedroom ? ? old kitchen downstairs, new one on the left seems huge and caverous ? The house/palazzo is taking shape, very exciting! Enormous crashes and bangs going on around my ears as I type - but no death or injury yet'! (We are all getting good at scaling up wobbly ladders that don't look to be able to stand our weight).
Music outside my window

?Do you know any Kannada songs'? This was a question put to me by my Kannada teacher. The answer was yes, I know many Kannada songs. ?Which ones'? she then asked. How to tell her which songs I know' I have no clue of their titles, don't understand the lyrics (apart from a few words) and am completely unfamiliar with the popular singers or Kannada movies. So the only way to let her know which

The Curse of the Lemon Moon - Lemon and Rosemary Pannacotta
From Lucullian Delights, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
  Lemon and rosemary is an unbeatable combination be it in savoury dishes or sweet ones, I never tire of those two and together they sparkle!  OK, maybe I am exaggerating a little but it is a great combination, you have to agree with me on that. I used to have lemon trees in vases because I like to make my own Limoncello but lately they don't seem to agree with me; the best one I had

 "It was very wet, we were just driving ? and looked up and realised one part of the sky was moving in one direction and another in the opposite direction," he said. "I thought: 'That looks like a tornado!' We've had a spectacular run of bad weather here in not-so-jolly England. The wettest April ever is, apparently, being followed by the wettest and coldest May ever. Last weekend saw temperatures lower than those on Christmas (Saturday's high here...
The Lairig Ghru never disappoints
From Letters from Iceland, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Wow! A vital ingredient for happiness.  November in the Lairig Ghru. I packed all my warm clothes, my waterproofs and extra dubbin ... but I forgot the sunscreen. Intellectually, I know these places are important habitats, that the trees in the distance are one of the few remnants of the Caledonian Pine Forest, that these terraces and ridges are the marks of past glaciers with ice-marginal lagoons dotted with icebergs, that the broad, distant valley was once filled with a ...
