dievca forgot to share~

her Christmas gifts for Master.
All were a “hit” except for the Christopher Raeburn scarf – it was a bit too “hip” 😎
Master chose something from dievca’s list and added four bottles of wine:

Kind of a COVID-appropriate exchange – wouldn’t you say?


Tub with a View~

It doesn’t matter, she had a tub with a view last night.

“Fortran et haec olim meminisse juvabit.”

The sense of the phrase is: Someday, we’ll look back on even this and smile.

Master and dievca were talking about 2020 – it’s been – well you know. Master made the point that there is an end in sight. This follows the idea that Humans can endure many things as long as there is an end in sight, it’s when there is no relief on the horizon that things are seen as hopeless.  dievca repeats – there is an end in sight.

Sweet Holiday

The most googled food items to be enjoy at home for the Holidays.

Zippia, a career builder website, used Google search data to create a map of people’s favorite holiday treats. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the cheesecake was a big favorite all over the country, with New York, Nevada, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut all opting for this rich and creamy dessert. Pennsylvania is apparently a fan of gingerbread cheesecake in particular and Hawaii loves Oreo cheesecake.

What do you crave during the Holiday Season?

What does your State seem to favor?

Desperation coffee on the go~


Hmmm, dievca doesn’t own a car…
Would she or wouldn’t she invest in an auto expresso maker if she did?
Does anyone have one?
It’s around $250.
I guess it depends if you need to save time in the morning,
or need an afternoon “pick-me-up”.

Perhaps, a Holiday Gift for the person who loves coffee and has everything?
