Further Notes on Watchespart 1 / part 2 / part 3

Tremblay

Tremblay's watch is a luxury piece. Probably a Tudor Style Fluted Bezel 41mm.

An uncommonly plain watch from Tudor. The clean face and delicate fluted bezel makes this a popular choice for people who want a luxury watch that just looks nice. it’s the newest and most expensive watch among our Conclave cardinals.

My watch friend knew he was corrupt the moment he saw the metal bracelet.

'Metal bracelets always cost more. You wear metal bracelets outdoors. If someone is wearing one indoors, they want you to notice them.’

eta: What does this tell us about his character? watch friend: nothing. He’s a basic bitch.

________________________________________

Tedesco

Tedesco's watch might be a ✨vintage 1960 Oris 671 KIF✨ (or a Clues Triomphe. We cannot agree.)

It's so generic-looking, we thought it was a Daniel Wellington at first.

A watch that one buys because of how it looks. The person wearing it hasn't seen much of the world and thinks this is what class and luxury looks like.

But then my friend clocked the bevel and alligator strap. Nevertheless, Oris is old and traditional / conservative and boring to the point of being generic. That's why it left no impression. It's devoid of character.

Oris is undeniably quality Swiss watchmaking, 'but it's easy to forget they exist because they're not creative. They don't experiment outside their comfort zone.'

My friend adds that "Anyone with a decent-paying job can save enough to buy an Oris in their lifetime. It sits somewhere above a Tissot, but below a Tudor. "

Additional note: like Tremblay, Tedesco's watch has a black dial, projecting an image of refinement, quiet confidence and charisma.

____________________________ EXTRA NOTE #1 ____________________________

Bellini's Seiko Dolce is actually swankier than Lawrence's battered Orient Bambino

The Orient Bambino is the good sourdough passed down through generations by grandma, recipe unchanged.

Seiko Dolce is that good sourdough from that one niche bakery in the cool part of the city and you can't get it anymore because it's limited edition.

Disclaimer: Lawrence's watch could also be an old model Longines; we're not 100%.

____________________________ EXTRA NOTE #2 ____________________________

Adeyemi has a watch too!

But I have to address that in a separate post because this is stupid long already.

In the meantime, please enjoy this shot of Benitez's elegant hands with his Casio watch peeking out eeeeever so slightly from his left sleeve.

____________________________ EXTRA NOTE #3 ____________________________

The watches in the movie are worn upside down

A clear example is when Lawrence tears open his toiletries at night.

If Lawrence's watch is worn correctly in the screenshot, it means he loses his temper with his toiletries at 6.30p.m.

But the scene that precedes this was so dimly lit, it had to be late at night. As late as, say, midnight...

The more obvious clue is the crown (the dial). It's facing the wrong way.

We don't know why.

I can only guess that a wardrobe assistant put the watches on for the actors and accidentally tied them as if they were wearing the watches themselves.

So, here's the thing. You look at this home and think you'll be getting a nice 6bd, 7ba, 1924 English Tudor in Indianapolis, IN for $2M. But, it's been updated by the owner/seller, so decisions were made. And, they're not necessarily what you would expect or want.

If you're looking for rich, traditional Tudor wood, it's there, but they painted it black. The floors aren't original, they've been replaced by modern light wood.

You know the beautiful wood walls in Tudors? Well, these are painted white. What made them do this?

The living room is completely modern with mirrored furniture and leather sofas. If a buyer wants a modern home, he can easily buy one, so why would you have to do this to a Tudor?

OMG, they painted the traditional cement stone fireplace black.

Remember yesterday's Tudor? This is how it's supposed to look- grand and castle-like. But, more importantly, this color. (And, the rich wainscoting is not painted white.)

Apparently, to make a modern open concept kitchen with a family room, there wasn't enough space, even when they knocked down a wall, so they squeezed a dining table in on the side, and a few chairs in front of the kitchen. Okay, I love the shell chandies, even though they're not Tudor style.

Just from watching the finicky buyers on "House Hunters," they're going to say that this kitchen is small.

Bad faux finish to make the pantry look old.

They place another smaller dining table here and blocked the door to the garden.

And, here's another dining area.

Okay, the small powder room isn't too bad. I like the wallpaper and they left the original medicine chest.

All the wood is black. This makes me feel so bad.

The primary bd. is gray and the fireplace has been redone.

Renovated en-suite.

Walk-in closet and dressing room has a desk and drink fridge.

The upstairs landing. It's nice, but I couldn't say I lived in a Tudor.

A game room with arches all painted an off-white.

One of the other bedrooms- the wainscoting painted white.

Renovated bath.

This is the finished attic in gray scale.

A powder room up here.

.92 acre lot. It's a beautiful home, it's just not an English Tudor, anymore.

wren what are ur fav history books either now or back in uni?

ooooo excellent question!! i'm gonna list such a random assortment of books sdfklsldjf but i'm trying to keep them generally accessible - i have quite a few that would probably be very expensive to buy new because Serious Academic History Books always are like. £60... for some reason... so here's a couple that will hopefully be decently priced and easy to find :)

england under the norman and angevin kings - robert bartlett - one of my absolute favourite periods of history, and one of my favourite books about it as well! this is a period of history that not many people know about (in the way people might know about the tudor kings/queens for example) but it's FASCINATING, and very game of thrones esque. please ask me about the plantagenets...

spqr - mary beard - i <3 mary beard... i watched her lecture a few times and she is just such a powerful speaker and SO knowledgeable... this is a pretty accessible intro to roman history :)

citizens: a chronicle of the french revolution - simon schama - this is THE english language book on the french revolution, and for a very good reason! schama is a very compelling writer of what can be an extremely dense period to learn about - though like many anglophone historians of the french revolution he errs on the side of sympathy for the royal family, which is something to bear in mind :)

i'm actually going to put a cut here because i have SO MANY RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!

subaltern lives: biographies of colonialism in the indian ocean world, 1790 - 1920 - clare anderson - this is one of the best history books i've ever read. such an intriguing take on how to do a colonial history!

women and power - mary beard - this isn't strictly a history book? mary beard's a classicist but she traces the history of misogyny and public debate and the ways in which women have been historically excluded from public spaces, and how that continues until the present day

1491: new revelations of the americas before columbus - charles c. mann - a fascinating book that pieces together oral histories with archaelogy to reconstruct what the americas were like before the arrival of europeans - SO readable!

the silk roads: a new history of the world - peter frankopan - just like the title suggests, the author traces the development of the modern world alongside the growth of the silk roads. also very readable and accessible!

eleanor of aquitaine: by the wrath of god, queen of england - alison weir - this is definitely more of a popular history book, but it is SO well done. alison weir might be the only person out there who loves eleanor as much as i do. she is my favourite royal to learn about ever

the witch-hunt in early modern europe - brian p. levack - a brilliant overview of the various forces which conspired to produce various witch crazes

i could genuinely list you hundreds more... but these are the ones that jumped out at me from my bookshelf. i also have a real love for biographies of queens, but eleanor's my favourite so i'll leave it there for now :) <3

As Frankie continued to complain to Lesley about her troubles, neither of them noticed the young woman stepping out of the sea towards them.

"Greetings, Lesley. Greetings, Frances. Beautiful sunset, is it not?" asked Nalani.

"Eurgh, where'd she come from..." grumbled Lesley under her breath.

"My day hasn't been crap enough, so the Watcher sent her for a visit," whispered back Frankie.

Both of them gave Nalani small smiles in acknowledgement of her greeting. Nalani was another shell trader. Unlike them, her business was incredibly successful as she often had the rarest and most beautiful shells and treasures on offer.

Whenever Frankie had asked her how she got her hands on them, she would smile sweetly and refuse to answer, instead making cryptic comments like 'I am one with the sea'. This rubbed Frankie up the wrong way: while she understood Nalani's desire to protect her business secrets, Frankie also felt that a certain level of comradery and support was only reasonable.

Nalani settled into the sand beside them, "I do most enjoy watching the breeze blowing through the palm trees. It is difficult to observe from below the water's surface."

"Yeah..." replied Lesley and Frankie non-committally.

"Frankie, I am surprised to see you here. I was led to believe that you had relinquished your stall in order to trade goods in far off ports?"

"Yes... it's a long story. But I'll be back out on the sea soon," explained Frankie.

Nalani looked at Frankie with a kind intensity that unsettled her, "I am glad to hear it. I know how fond you are of the sea - perhaps as much as am I. Though, I too wish I could travel out beyond the seas of Sulani."

"Frankie and I were just talking about how to get started in the trade business. I would've thought you had enough from selling your treasures to buy some stock and start selling?" suggested Lesley.

Nalani bowed her head slightly, "It is not the cost that prevents me from pursuing such plans."

Frankie and Lesley exchanged side glances, trying to decide whether to pursue the conversation further by asking for more detail. As the silence stretched out, Frankie began to feel guilty and asked, "What does prevent you?"

Nalani gave the same mysterious smile that she always gave when Frankie asked about her treasures and replied, "I one with the islands as much as I am one with the sea. Good evening, ladies."

As Nalani walked away, Lesley and Frankie watched the way she moved with a purposeful beauty and then dropped back onto the sand with frustrated grunts.

"I don't consider myself a violent person, but every time I speak to her, I'm filled with the urge to hit something," grumbled Lesley.

Frankie sniggered, "an understandable impulse. Come on, let's go get a drink."

A while back you did a good/better/best buyer’s guide kinda thing for diamonds and stones. Do you know enough to be able to do the same thing for watches? I would like opinions from someone who isn’t a faggot trying to sell me something

I can do that. I'm going to stick with brands I know and sell, so if I don't mention a brand it's because I either don't know it, don't sell it, or I don't care about it.

Under $300- why do you need a guide for this? They're all quartz movement or digital. They're all the same, pick a style and try not to be loud about it. No one cares about Diesel (sorry about your small penis), or Fossil (mom got you the watch, it's nice but stfu), or your Nixon or your watchbox monthly special.

Under $1000- entry level brands like Citizen & Bulova are decent. Citizen Eco-drive's are nice because they never need a battery, and Bulovas do some nice automatics in the $500-$800 range. At this range most people don't care about movement (especially in a quartz watch), at best you're looking at Japanese movement which is pretty good.

Closer to the $1000 mark you're gonna be looking at brands like Hamilton and Tissot automatics. Both are great brands, Hamilton uses Japanese movement where as Tissot uses actual Swiss movement. Movado is another okay brand at this range- decent movement but their watches are far too aesthetically minimalist for my tastes. Seiko is another notable brand at this approximate level.

$1000-$5000 is where we start to get more brands worth mentioning. Immediately over the 1k mark we have higher end Bulova's (mostly models with diamonds, which are for faggots), higher end Hamilton and Tissot watches.

As we get towards the $2500 mark, everything changes over mostly to automatic movement instead of quartz, and major brands really start to open up. Entry level Tag-Heuer and Bremont watches are available at this mark. You also have Oris, Frederique Constant, Michelle, Longines, and a many other brands that mostly come down to differences in aesthetics. There's rarely a wrong choice here when it comes to movement- everything is comparable and real movementheads are going to look at higher end.

This also opens you up to certified pre-owned models from larger brands, say Omega and Cartier. Omega I'll touch on later. Cartier is pure "look I have a Cartier", whether or not you buy one used or pre-owned. As a man, if you're wearing a Cartier I am immediately going to think you are either gay or a European dandy.

Just under $5k, opens you up to middle models in companies like Tag, Bremont, Breitling, some entry level Omegas and some used Rolex models. This also gets you Tudor. Tudor is cool to me because they use Rolex parts and cases but they use different movements. For example Tudor has one model called a Black Bay, that is essentially a Rolex Daytona with color variations and an option for Breitling movement (which I just think is really fucking neat).

$5k+ puts us into the "big boy" brands. High end Tag-Heuers like their Carrera line are available here (I own a blue face Carrera personally- its amazing). Bremont and Breitling also start here for their higher end models. Omega as well, and if you're looking for accurate time keeping Omega is one of the best in the business. The Omega Speedmaster- specifically the moon watch and 007 variants, are iconic and considered staples of any watch enthusiast's collection.

Then you have Rolex. Lower end used Rolex watches can start at $5-6k, new entry levels models like a Date-Just will probably be around $8-10k. Submariners are all easily $12-$15k+, which some like the Hulk (green face) going as high at like $35k. GMT II's are generally $20k+ new. Daytonas can vary anywhere between $50k-120k depends on new/used and the actual model it is. That being said, Rolex movement is NOT the best on the market but it doesn't have to be because no one buys a Rolex for time keeping. Rolex is the epitome of "status symbol" and you play that game accordingly.

Over this mark in price we are getting into ostentatious luxury that you are I are never gonna have to worry about, and this also marks the upper end of my knowledge. Rolex already kind of dips into this category in their higher end. Patek Philippe, Panerai, Richard Mille, Breguet- all brands that would fit here. If you're looking at one of these seriously, you're not like us and I can't help you.

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

Hi M, how are you? Coming after the high of Shogun's yesterday's win at the Emmy's made me wonder if you have a favourite historical movie or tv show that is underrated or in the category more-people-should-watch-this? Hopefully you indulge in this type of movie. 😊

For example, for me, one such movie is "Master and Commander: The Far side of the World" :brilliant ensemble cast all across the board, good chemistry between the main leads, engaging story, very good soundtrack, fx that still hold, 99% hystorically accurate 😂 but despite this not many have heard or watched this movie.

Have a nice day!

P.S. can't believe that tomorrow the last episode of AYS will air 😭.

Hi @shimako! Sorry for answering your question late, but I postponed it because I kept trying to think of a list. And honestly, I saw the words historical drama and forgot the underrated part so this is a bit of a disaster, but I'll make it work. Let's just say this is an incomplete list of tv shows that had an impact on me at the time and ages that I had when I watched them. And you'll see that I barely remember the plot, but I sort of know how I felt.

1. Rome

Is this underrated? Hell no! But perhaps in today's age of tv, a lot of people have forgotten about that show. Only two seasons, but it was among the first batch of prestige tv in the middle of the 2000s. I liked it so much that it made go to the bookstore and buy a book about Caesar. If I went through my Egypt phase in middle school, then my Ancient Rome period came in high school.

2. The Borgias

At the time of its runtime, I think it was pretty big. Although I don't think it won many awards. I also remember it being used as an example on scholarly papers about Hollywood using Eastern and Central European studios because of cheap labor and good locations. Budapest and Prague can replace Florence, lol.

The Borgias was naughty. And it had Jeremy Irons who is a fantastic actor in my opinion. Eventually they actually leaned heavily into the siblings relationship which I thought was daring. They went there 👀. And the costumes were so beautiful!.

3. The Tudors

I remember this show through the eyes of a 13-14 year old that developed a massive crush on the actor portraying Henry the VIII. This was like the rock'n'roll version of the story. And it was sexy. A bit over the top. A stepping stone for some actors that would become a lot more famous in the years to come. I think it was on HBO so probably not underrated at the time, but mostly forgotten nowadays.

4. Versailles

I can't remember if it's French or they talk in English. But it was lots of fun. And really gay. They didn't stay away from that. That's all I remember, but give it a try.

5. Taboo

This is that show with a really brooding Tom Hardy who remains like that throughout the story. But if you're interested in 1800s London and England's imperialist plan and its effects on colonized territories, this might be it.

6. Babylon Berlin

I don't know if this fits into the list, but it is a great portrayal of 1920s Berlin. A period in which artistic freedom and experimentation was at its height, but also juxtaposed with political unrest, creating this environment that would lay the ground for the rise of the fascist party. It's a german show, an HBO production and I like that it's not glamourized. You can see it in their clothes, their hygiene habits, their visible sweat and run down outfits they wear in clubs. It feels real.

7. Black Sails

I first heard of this when I wanted to watch more Toby Stephens movies/series but I almost stayed away because it was a Michael Bay production. Black Sails is so smart. At first, it might lure in the wrong audience, even based on the first trailer. It looks like a pirate show full of action sequences and machismo. And then you actually watch it and it flips that exact narrative. It is a direct critique of imperialism. It is also such a good case for any film and gender & queer studies analysis. But more than that, what really sealed the deal for me in what is considered a grade B series with grade B actors, is the meta-textual discourse on storytelling. It's about creating those pirate legends, of creating narratives to protect themselves against the empire. And all that is unfolded through brilliant lines of dialogue. It still remains a 10/10 tv show for me and the actual underrated one.

[sonnet-of-anarchy]

Ghosts alternative ending that’s morbidly cliché wizard-of-oz-esc but imma leave it here because I recon it has potential:

Alison wakes up from a coma (the final scene) and the ghosts/house were technically imagined but they represent people she sees in life as a life/death blend of some kinda generational ‘life goes on’ allegory.

There’s a magazine in the waiting room with the loose women on the cover (only Mary’s one of em)

There’s also a stern looking woman at reception which is Lady B.

As she exits the hospital there’s a hippie chap tryna advertise flyers with conspiracies and alternative medicine. That’s Robin (ft the Larry Rickard Destiny’s Angel voice)

As they’re driving home she spots a variant of the Captain on the street selling poppies & dressed in uniform. A girl buys one, smiling (it’s Kitty)

She also spots a guy in a long dark coat coming out of a library (Thomas)

They’re home (in that flat from the pilot) - unnerved, Alison turns on the TV to highlights from a commons debate (Julian is the PM) & the news is talking about another scandal.

She changes sides to Pat presenting blue Peter.

A final click & it’s Humphrey in an old Tudor cathedral in some sort-of interview.

All of these snippets are flashed between the modern variant & the ghost version in a glitchy/fragmented fashion. The scene ends with Alison on the couch, the shot zooms out to reveal the ghosts watching her from behind the sofa.

[bunniesandbeheadings]

I am still so irrationally obsessed with the obscure Tudor kerfuffle. Apparently someone published an Anne Boleyn book

(which I bought before I even knew there was drama cuz I like reading one Anne Boleyn book a year, this Jacobin likes one Queen and it’s Anne Boleyn. “Why do people keep publishing Anne boleyn books? Who is buying them?” Me.)

and…the author proceeded to pick a fight with everyone who ever existed in the Anne Boleyn “community,” including their literal colleagues.

And I don’t mean “A response to a response to a response to” academic fighting. I mean rapid denunciations on twitter! Cult mentality! Review bombing! Lawsuits! Lawyers have been contacted! They attacked their publisher!

It’s the most “I’ll kick anyone’s ass, I’ll kick his ass, I’ll kick her ass, I’ll kick my own ass” I’ve ever seen.

And, since I preordered the book before I even knew there was drama, I got the book and I can see the publishers reeeaaaallly cut it down, probably to avoid libel suits because—-

Listen I’m not classy, it’s a train wreck, and I can’t stop watching

[neveralarch]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Aw thank you :) I'm gonna do all non-TF stuff just for fun so strap in for small fandoms. I'm also v v self-conscious about self-reccing so i have attempted to let go of shame here and just pick some of the ones i've been rereading myself

A Harder Road - Johannes Cabal | gen | pg | 7.8k

A pastiche of Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls which means that this fic has an audience of like. Three. You have to be in it for the silly narration, the idea of being able to buy souls through 19th CE Russian bureaucracy, and brotherly hate. But I'm really pleased with how this one turned out given the life circumstances I was in at the time, and it always makes me happy to look back on. If nothing else, highly recommend Dead Souls itself.

Just Like Ice on the Dune - Baseball RPF | gen | pg | 26.5k

Tim Lincecum and Hector Sanchez do magic together and win the world series. Baseball fandom (writing fic or watching games) is weird bc you get very into these players who then retire and disappear, but I've kept a soft spot for these two. This is another one from my grad school misery period - I think I'm prouder of these bc they were very hard won haha. This fic totally consumed my December and I almost missed the Yuletide deadline but I had tons of fun writing about Baseball superstitions.

Mirror - Tortall (Tamora Pierce) | Jonathan/Thom | adult | 1.7k

Very early Nev foray into genderfuckery and toxic relationships. Really I only recommend this if you a) remember Tortall fondly but b) wish it was even more explicitly messy.

Tudor Spies and Perfidy - The Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Identified | gen | pg | 700 words

Because I used to write so much for Yuletide, I have a lot of fics for internet ephemera. I think this one is especially fun and also the blog post is worth remembering. Read it if you love nonsense time travel and shaggy dog stories! Also, in the same genre, honorable mention to this fic about Michael Buble being stalked by a velociraptor.

Hypocrisy Was Our Text - Skyfall (Bond Movie) | Bond/Silva | Teen | 11.5k

Once, long ago, I was going to write a novel about Shakespeare. Then I scrapped it and used all of the research to write a Elizabethan retelling of Skyfall. This is soooo fun to me and if I had the power to compell all of you to read one fic on this list it would be this one. But. I also get very weird about teeth in here. If you like historical AUs but not weird teeth stuff, allow me to rec this 17th century Dr Who epic instead haha.

A princess lost to the sands of time.

This post is purely indulgent about my whole-cloth original character, Cecily-Anne Plantagenet, daughter of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Anne Neville, Duchess of Gloucester.

(Cecily-Anne, played by Kate Beckinsale in Cold Comfort Farm) Born in 1473, the twin of Edward of Middleham, Cecily's early childhood was a remarkably undisturbed and peaceful one. She grew up in Middleham for a large portion of her childhood, and was raised similar to her mother, Anne Neville, was. Baptised a few days after her birth for her nameday, She was christened Cecily-Anne, for her maternal and paternal grandmothers, Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, and Anne for Anne's own mother of Anne Beauchamp. Cecily-Anne became especially close to her half sister Kathryn, who was roughly a year or two her senior, and their similarities in dress and style proved sometimes difficult for their head nursemaid, Mistress Burgh, to figure out who was who! When Richard took the throne in 1483, things changed rapidly. Unlike Edward, who did not attend the coronation, Cecily did, and sat amongst the audience. Due to the fact that the Princess of Wales is only a marital title, she was simply known formally as Princess Cecily-Anne.

Edward's death in early 1484 rocked the Gloucester household to its core, and Cecily, like her mother, grew ill with grief, which only worsened with the death of Anne Neville in 1485. Cecily, just months shy of her 12th birthday, followed her father to Bosworth field - something that is wholly historically inaccurate but relevant thematically for what comes after. The Historical record the tudors wrote in the wake of Redmore Plain/Bosworth Field, claims that Cecily was taken under Tudor custody, died in captivity in the tower and her name was written from the Plantagenet history like her parents and siblings. What actually follows this is of my own idea: Kim Newman (of Anno Dracula) put forth the idea of Richard III as a vampire - why not, the biggest villain in all of English literary canon as a bloodsucking monster? the Tudor propaganda machine would have a field day.

I didn't buy it. I wanted to honor what Richard really was at his core and would have done if offered vampirism not from a mercenary choosing to fight alongside him at Bosworth - which alongside the whole idea of Richard as a bloodsucking monster, lends credence to the argument of "my kingdom for a horse." Richard, the coward. Instead, I made Anne Neville the vampiric parasite of a stripe that can be traced to tuberculosis, which in historical records across Europe and America, was linked to vampiric scares. And in a Pre-protestant reformation world, as well as the dissolution, Catholicism and vampirism would not be well-entwined at all. Richard, at Bosworth, died with the vampiric infection in his blood, harbored for months from when Anne was still alive, and at the point which he laid with her in the months prior to his discovery of her illness. Edward's appendicitis was also dead with the vampiric blood of his mother in his system, a reclusive part of his DNA that went from dormant to active as he died. Cecily did not die with the vampiric blood in her system - she was turned by Richard in 1491, after he, Anne, Edward and Cecily had fled to Margaret's court at Burgundy, which gave them open sanctuary from the maelstrom of Tudor's breakdown of all things related to Richard's reign. Johnny and Kathryn came to Burgundy along with George of Clarence's children, who were kept safe under Richard's careful watch. From there, Cecily and her family played a waiting game that lasted from 1485 until 1838, when in this universe, an england reigned by Queen Victoria and her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, set their sights on the elder princess, and Melbourne moved to seize her as a bargaining chip to disrupt Richard's laid plans of a Plantagenet overthrow. She has not been seen or heard from since. Her parents still hold out hope that this is just a temporary kidnapping, but if Lord Melbourne is the one behind it, then hope is a thing loath to be spare.

-@comphy-and-cozy

okay: warning @comphy-and-cozy (but maybe not because i feel this should be obvious) most of my favorite alumni are former stl players:

Barrett Jackman, Jay Bouwmeester, David Backes, and STL loves our Tkachuks so Big Walt (Keith) Tkachuk is a given. oh! and Ben Bishop.

and I've started to watch The Tudors but need to get back into it. but whenever I buy Netflix, all of Mike Flanagan's horror series are immediately binge rewatched.

it's sleepover friday!!

A Hidden World

Popo and I woke early the next day, mostly owing to the return of my temporary insomnia, but also because during our trip through Turkey, we were expected to always be on the coach by 8AM. As for why my insomnia returned? Impossible to know although I chalk it up to me watching YouTube videos quite late on my phone and sneaking in a few songs on my Switch before bed. 

Hey! Even though I was travelling overseas, a girl’s got to treat herself, all right?

Regardless, we were up and getting our luggage stowed into the underbelly of the coach and eating a decent breakfast. By 8AM we were seated on the coach and ready for the long journey east to a small town in the Black Sea region of northern Turkey: Safranbolu. 

Along the way, we stopped for lunch and also enjoyed brief toilet breaks at petrol stations along the highway. At one particular stop, a Shell station, I purchased some hot chocolate that was middling at best. To be fair, it was still superior to whatever I had in North America but once you’ve had Australian coffee/ hot chocolate, there is simply no going back. Especially if you like milk froth.

It was about 2PM when we pulled into the UNESCO World Heritage City of Safranbolu. Of particular interest to tourists is the Old Town, which showcased hundreds upon hundreds of preserved red-roofed Ottoman houses on cobblestone streets. The only thing missing were horse drawn cabs. While I was wandering the streets and admiring it from above, the architecture of the houses somewhat reminded me of old Tudor-style houses although there werestill quite a few differences.

Unfortunately, leading Popo around the city centre meant that I missed out on many an explanation from the tour guide. Wikipedia, which is CLEARLY a reliable source that should be cited often, tells me that the name of the town derives from the spice, Saffron, and the Greek work ‘polis.’ 

And to be fair, the growing  of saffron or ‘safran’ by the locals is still very common practice in the city, what with all the saffron scented performed and flavoured Turkish delights that were on sale. 

Once we had viewed the the Old Town from above at a lookout, we headed to our hotel that was close by and modelled in the original Ottoman style. Afterwards, we headed to the centre to get in some ‘shopping. And shop I did! In fact, as I roamed the stores, I bought myself a handmade leather courier bag for only 700 Turkish lira! Others might have been able to haggle further this was not a skill I possessed.

Walking along with a few other members of the tour group, we stopped by a few stores to try out their free samples of Turkish samples. True, it was a ploy to get us to come in and actually buy their merchandise, but it also helped satiate my sweet tooth.  In fact, I even picked up some Turkish delights, courtesy of one fo the tour members hoping to bribe me back to their place and into the clutches of their diabolical mother who wanted to keep me as a prized pet. 

You might be asking anyone would do that. And for that well thought out question, I have no answer except maybe I had somehow imprinted on this mother. Or she thought me cute and adorable in spite of my actual age and temperament. 

After all, I can be quite playful and mischievous if I so wish. I was born in the Year of the Monkey! But, I’m also quite serious and very down-to-earth.

And if that sounds like an excuse, it is. 

In any case, our half-day in Safranbolu was quickly over and we retired to our hotel with its quaint little room that was supposed to sleep two.
