my weekend, movies music & more// lifestyle

 

Here we are in the middle of October already - hard to believe how quickly 2020 has gone , even with all the changes in our lifes.    

This week and weekend has been so chilly and rainy, no point going anywhere. Just staying in and keeping warm. We actually had a slight cold  after the sudden temperature changes from 21C to 9C. So i enjoyed the time making soups and resting up, plus watching some movies.  Nothing like a good movie to past the time.

MOVIES review

Two movies I really enjoyed are French but can be in english.  The first one  is called La Melodie a  story about a class of students learning to play the violin, and the teacher who has no experience with kids, but is classically trained. The kids in the film were super, and the acting was believable. A very inspiring film and uplifting. Something we can use, especially during these times.  Definitely Worth to see!  Film for the whole family.



The second film is also music related, this time a young girl moves to Paris to attend a music school, but first she has to find a place to live. when she finally finds the place, the old man Mr. Henri has  some other plans. A bit of a comedy with a twist.  The Student and Mr. Henri.  A touching film.


SOUP SEASON

I love a nice warm soup , especially when I am not feeling well. So this week I decided to make it from scratch. A vegetable soup with rice and chicken   Super simple and so tasty. I didn't follow any recipe, basically just follow the soup cube directions and add what you like rice or pasta, vegetables etc.

Vegetable soup cubes 2, water, rice ( handful), cooked chicken chopped , dried chives or fresh.


SKI SEASON begins

The skiers I am certain are happy there is snow already in the mountains and some ski hills will be opening end of the month. But in the meantime the first ski race of the season started this weekend in Europe.  So something to watch , I love to watch it, though my favourites are no longer racing.  This year will be interesting.

Are you a ski fan? Ever tried skiing? I tried downhill a couple of times, first taking lessons at a local ski hill, then going to the mountains  which really scared the &%&* out of me.  The first mishap was the chair lift broke down on the way up the mountain, sitting perched up so high on a windy hill , waiting for it to go was awful , especially since i have fear of heights.   I did finally get up to top but spend part of the time in the lodge cafe till i got the nerve to go down.  But I am proud to say i made it down , all in one piece.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
