Very vacuous question: how does it feel now that christmas actually is a wonderful winter land?

[lizbyrd]

To be honest, it isn't that wonderful - winter in Vancouver is grey skies and bare trees and drizzle. It snowed once, but it didn't stick around for more than a day.

The weather being cold is nice in that things like mulled wine and steaming hot food seem a lot more appealing. (I tried some mulled wine at a carolling party we went to and severely disliked the 'wine' aspect, but I'm contemplating the possibility of mulled apple juice or something.) So that's good.

Mulled grape juice is amazing.

But yes, I can see the appeal of hot food in cold weather, I say looking forward to a roast meal at my parents unairconditioned house with my large family :/

I think the half-cup of mulled wine I had then was the most alcoholic drink I've ever had at one time. I prefer apple juice to grape juice, but the latter would be more 'authentic'.

My Christmases were usually a lot like that (although my parents got aircon a few years back). I think my favourites were the ones at my aunt's in Geraldton, because it was usually more of a BBQ and salad meal, and cooler than Upper Swan. *nostalgia*

idk, stuff that lets me keep up with you where you are right now? Since I am not on chat much and all. :|

I suppose I might as well snitch a Wave invite. Might as well have it for when it comes in handy, I guess!

edit: you get Yuletide in all right, or did you not end up participating?

[lizbyrd]

With the lack of actual change in my life right now there's very little for me to say in status updates, thus my problem.

Yep, I got Yuletide in just fine!

PS: Invite sent, not sure how long it'll take to get to you.

[velithya]

Well you know, you could make more 'diary' related posts *shrug* "Today I got up and lazed about in my apartment looking at my stunning view."

Yay Yuletide! The archive goes live on Christmas Day (US time) right?

I need to leave for work in 15 minutes, if it doesn't arrive by then I will have to poke it tonight.

I'd love to see photos*/descriptions of the differences between there and here, and the similarities, if any.

Other than that, I'm just happy to hear basic updates on how life is treating you in Candaia.

(*) birds/trees especially, but also general land/streetscapes.

How could any right thinking person turn down a pavlova?

I'd like photos and recipes, but also just the generic blog entries of what you are doing, films you've seen or thoughts on things. :)
