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.

Our first 2026 morning!

Starting the Census Bethlehem  by Peter Bruegel the Elder. 

Happy 😊 New Year!

Yesterday, we drove 24 kms to get the Italian 🇮🇹 Panettones directly arrived from Italy! It’s our Christmas days usage in our family. Our daughter unfortunately has got flu even if she was vaccinated. This year I did not have COVID I had enough staying in bed with COVID for Fourth of July Christmases!

I need coffee ☕️ to wake me up! We watch tv until one o’clock and now we got up at 10!

Did you know that in Panettone there was hazelnut flour, apricot kennels flour, and rice four mixed to wheat flour!there is also Belgium chocolate, candied fruits, raisins…

 This is another cake from Italy with caramel! 😋 

We haven’t tasted it yet but with no doubt it will be delicious! Now we will be watching and listening to the New Year concert in Vienna!

I wish you once more all the best for 2026!

Happy New Year!

We finished our “Orient Express” puzzle we received for Christmas!a Maria Rivan’s puzzle (by La maison Hachette pratique)

This and that on a Monday

Hello Friends!

It is pretty cold here! We are waiting some snow by Thursday until … next week.

I am glad my hairdresser’s appointment is tomorrow as it is difficult here to drive on snowy roads and climbing the hills in the forest.

We have been working all afternoon on our “Orient express “ puzzle a very hard one.

On Saturday it was the private sales and I found a skirt and top from last spring and I can use it during my stay.

I also found some bags easy to carry when you have a stick in one hand. Now I have to phone Emirates to have assistance during the travel. So I have a lot to organise before leaving . 

Yesterday, we had our son on Skype and he told us he was leaving on Saturday for a photo trip to Antarctica!

This worries me a lot! But I have to cope with it I expect…his trip will be long and he will have to go to Sao Polo and take three different planes and then go on a big sailing boat for a week. I know he will take beautiful drone pictures and that he will have internet but I will worry like mother’s do!

 We won’t be doing much on New Year’s Eve but we usually make our new project decisions on the 1rst!

So we will see???

As I have many appointments in January and prepare the house and food for my husband before I leave  I’ll be back sometimes before my trip and then when I arrive in Dubai.

( and at the moment I have some problems with blogger??)

Some good news and about our Christmas.

The puzzle is about the “ Orient Express” a beautiful one 

LEGO for grandpa 

Watercolour for grandma 😂 

Working on that one.

The best present is a book of our grandchildren photos of the year sent by our son!

 Hello Friends !

First this morning, we went to my head IRM 9 o’clock.

All went well and coming home I received the results ( except the after effects of the car accident brain damage that still can be seen, all is ok! But I also had cervical vertebrae damages and the problem is certainly there neuralgias.

Well I am glad of the result, I am lucky!🍀 

On another note subject, we had a nice Christmas Eve with our daughter and son in law. I did not cook! For the first year and ordered our meal. I only did the first course a smoked salmon avocado bûche ( we prepare some food  essentially the cake in a  log 🪵 shape. I did the first course in that shape. I ordered the main course so I was not always in the kitchen and our daughter ordered the cake.

Christmas log! On TV to show you a chocolate one.

So I was free and enjoyed the evening with my family.

Before I used to cook during three days! But this time it was only the four of us. 

We played games on my SIL ‘s phone and laughed a lot till past midnight!

The next day I could see our grandchildren opening their presents in Dubai. Now I have to prepare my travel and stay this one will be long three weeks ! 

My plane ticket is taken and a “ big” health insurance. 

Medical care is very expensive there better anticipate 😂 

When you are agreeing.

We had a lot of presents, books, a new watercolour box, a beautiful puzzle, perfume…

This evening I am relaxing and this afternoon I did some watercolour to enjoy my afternoon and the good news!

         Tomorrow  Saturday  it’s our day outside  we will wear our winter coats, gloves and scarves ! It is -4 degrees Celsius ! And next week we will certainly have some snow ⛄️ for the end of the year.

I wish you a good weekend. I’ll come back to wish you Happy new year…

A simple Christmas!
