After the storm.

 A crowded beach in Antarctica ( video from our son)

 Hello Friends!

We did not sleep well, a lot of wind and the roof making noise. This morning the neighbour’s shed roof is on our lawn I did not look at our roof yet as we still have strong winds and rain. I hope the roof is ok ? I did not see tiles on the front terrace but it may be in the gutter.

Many trees down on the roads, roofs problems…213 km/hour wind on the Cotentin peninsula! 266.000 homes without power. Around 110 kms h here and sometimes more. . We are up the hill and among the fields where the wind is usually strong. I will try to rest today. We had the end of alert this morning on our phones but still stronger winds as usual. Etretat on the coast has been impacted.l I just went out to look at the front of the roof it is ok I’ll have to go and look at the back later.

Our house has already resisted to 200km/h speed winds in 1999 storm but you never know.

We will still have a rough weekend 

We are having power cuts and internet 🛜  no victims thanks to the alert we received on our phones!

Goretti storm is arriving!

 Hello friends !

Today the snow is melting and I could go to one of my appointments and I had to do some shopping before ( believe me or not!) “a meteorological bomb” ! We must stay inside and prepare ourselves for  very strong winds!!

The Goretti storm ! So we must stay inside again and no trains, no school, no post, delays…

I will stay inside and hope everything goes well.

I wish you a good weekend.

( end of afternoon I had an alert on my phone to stay in a safe place. It is the first time I heard such an  alert ‼️ hope all goes well)

This and that…

Hello Friends,

( for Mari who said i should frame some of my little watercolours. It’s done!)

Well, here we still have the same weather! Snow and more snow ! Car crashes, delays …

I am waiting to know if I have to cancel my tomorrow ´s appointment ?

This guy doesn’t want to wear his beautiful coat with a hood! 😂 he nearly bit me last night ! He is grumpy 😡 but he is nearly 13 and he can’t go out by -5 C without a coat…

He doesn’t like to be disturbed !

This morning we are friends again but not last evening  he banged his teeth on my hand and then caught me by my scarf ! So we had an argument together !

 Well I hope that the snow is going to melt SOON !

I just realised that I am leaving in two weeks time and a lot to do before I leave.

Have a good day!

From far away.

When it’s summer somewhere on the globe!🌏 our son is in Patagonia since Sunday.

He  rented a car and is visiting the National park.

And will fly tomorrow to Antarctica and embark on the sailing boat for a week to take photos.

He has sent this pictures to us yesterday and we are chatting in the evening.

Here is our adventurer!

Yesterday I have done the house cleaning, laundry and ironing not much fun but has to be done 😂 

 Concerning the snow ⛄️ it is difficult here  as nothing is really done this is why it is so difficult to drive and go out. When I was a child things were easier and we had more snow and lower temperatures. We went to Canada in February and we could drive  the temperature was -30 C and a lot of snow.

They are always overwhelmed by events ! And 5 centimetres of snow. By the end of the week we will have positive temperatures and back to normal I hope!

There was 1000kms traffic jams 600 Lorrie’s blocked during 28 hours ! Here is the situation today! 😂 

We have  put more food in the bird feeders and some hot water everyday and we have a lot of different birds coming for lunch!

Today I will certainly work on the new puzzle and do a bit of watercolour. Today the temperature is -6 C so better stay inside.

Have a nice day and thank you for your visit.

Snow, snow , snow!❄️

Now it is midday and I had to open the gate for my husband tonight or the electric gate will be stuck.

And we are freezing 🥶!

It is heavily snowing at the moment 

Hello Friends!

 Today it is still snowing, small flakes but all the week and we are freezing 🥶. In November we had 15 dgrees C and suddenly -5 C. Some roads are blocked not school buses for the week and I have to cancel my appointments !

The region is paralysed. I am not optimistic for my travel coming soon as there have been problems in some European airports. Hope everything will settle soon!

All north west of France is paralysed!

 

Yesterday my husband brought this “galette” an apple one this is what we eat for epiphany.

Leaving inside.

Hello friends.

Yesterday my husband has finished his Lego frame which was a gift from our daughter and SIL.

( in Punta Arenas)

 I did some metal repel butterflies. It was very cold and snowy so we stayed inside.

Today I received news from our son. He is in Chile Punta

Arenas for two days and then go to Antarctica 31 hours travel from Dubai to Sao Polo, Santigo and now Punta Arenas. It’s nice to be young! 😂 

Today, Sunday we are still staying inside or is sunny outside but too cold for us.

The grocery is done for some days but I have appointments on Thursday and Friday I keep my fingers crossed the snow will stop as I don’t like to drive on snow

Go down and up the cliffs.

Well we will see… Hope you ‘ll have a nice Sunday and week.

First DIY of the year!

Hello friends!

It is cold and snowing today, so I stay inside and begin to use my Christmas present. 

The last time I did metal  to repeI was 18 so I have to remember how it works.

I tried this morning but I have to improve and practice again!

I just phoned Emirates to book for assistance 

And do the last adjustments for my flight ✈️ 

All is done.👍 my seats are reserved and my special meals. Now I will have to prepare some meals for my husband …

Our son is leaving for Antarctica tomorrow I hope everything goes well and that I get some videos and photos.
