lučke / Christmas lights

Mrzel teden je za nami, snežilo je, in deževalo in nekaj vmes. Ceste so spolzke in nebo je sivo. Kljub vremenu so v mestih že prižgali lučke in stopili smo v praznični čas.

Prejšnjo soboto smo obiskali hčerko, ki študira v Ljubljani in starejšega sina, ki je študij zaključil in začel prvo službo. Sprehodili smo se po centru in opazovali praznično okrasitev. Kljub dejstvu, da je covid še vedno med nami, je bilo tam precej ljudi. Ampak jaz o tem nisem razmišljala. Spomnila sem se na svoja študentska leta, isti kraj pred skoraj tridesetimi leti. Po moje se mesto ni preveč spremenilo, samo praznična okrasitev je precej bolj razkošna. Kaj pa jaz? Najbrž sem se pred tridesetimi leti spraševala, kakšno bo moje življenje. Pravzaprav se je  vse dobro izšlo. Imam tri odrasle otoke, z njimi je vedno lepo.

We had a cold week. It was snowing and raining and something in between, the roads were slippery, and the sky was dark grey. Nevertheless, the cities and towns have already arranged Christmas decorations and the Christmas lights indicate festive atmosphere.

Last Saturday we were in Ljubljana visiting our daughter, a student, and our son, who had just finished university study and has recently started his first job. We were walking around the city centre and observing the Christmas decorations. The place was quite crowded despite the fact that covid is still among us. But that wasn't my concern at that time, I remembered my student years, in the same town, about little less than thirty years ago. In my opinion, the city didn't change much except the Christmas lighting is more luxurious. What about me? Thirty years ago, I was probably wondering what my life would be like. Well, now, we have three grown up kids and it turned out really good, so I'm happy about that.

Hčerka se vedno heca, da bi jaz morala spremeniti svoje cilje in namesto planinarjenja razmišljati o kuhanju in peki peciva. Zakaj pa ne ? December je kot nalašč za peko piškotov in tu so moji čokoladni razpokančki. Recept je čisto enostavno najti na internetu. Odlični so, še posebno, če imate radi čokolado.

My daughter is always kidding me and suggests that I should change my goals and instead of mountaineering I should engage in cooking and baking. December is the most appropriate time for making cookies, so why not. Here are my cracked chocolate cookies, the recipe can be easily found on the internet. They are delicious, especially if you like chocolate.

Ta teden sem končala obleko za mojo steklenico za čaj. Ta ostane topel par ur. Poleg tega sem tako porabila nekaj ostankov volne. 

I've finished knitting the clothing for my tea bottle. It helps to keep the tea warm for a few hours and it’s also a good way to use yarn leftover.

Želim vam lep december...

Wishing you a wonderful December…
