question regarding a phrase

I don't understand whether this phrase: "puis je me ferais dorer la pilule" is something whose meaning can only be determined in context.

In the context I heard it, which regarded enjoying being at the beach, it seems to mean: "soaking up the sun", which I would never have understood it to mean if I didn't look it up in Google translate... but perhaps google is mistaken in this case. Also the link provided below does not get to a webpage with the answer. Can you let me know what this phrase means in general?

Bonjour Bob,

This is an idiomatic expression, which is included in the list of vocabulary to look up before doing the exercise. Take a look at the link below for its full meaning:

Wordreference - se dorer la pilule

I have removed the broken link you are referring. It is now working properly. The answer there is great!

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
