Busy days…

Hello Friends!

I know we are in winter, but I ordered new sandals on Amazon they are vegan ones( in fact I did not know before I received them!)

I already have them in black for a few years now and are very comfortable for my back problems.

During these days I could have my roof repaired.

A roofer from a village next to ours accepted to come very quickly they did quick and good job 👍 

I am more serene  before I leave.

As you can see my suitcase is very colourful!

But nearly all the luggage being gray, black it is difficult to find your luggage on the conveyor belt in the airport.

The inscription on it is:”Adventure “! 😂 

This will be now a real adventure to travel I will be glad to have assistance.

Now I am busy to do my packing. Back to Summer! My summer clothes are always ready from the last Summer I just have to choose and fold them.

I also be busy this weekend grocery shopping for my husband.

The washing and ironing will be completed and then he will have to use the pressing.

I hope everything goes well. The world situation is not the best one to travel but I need to be with my grandsons anyhow!

Hope to see you soon from Dubai!

Thank you for coming.

 

Problems to be solved.

 Hello friends !

Well just after the storm we noticed that the neighbours roof shed blown by the wind arrived on our lawn and broke our fence… then the roof at the back has got a hole not a big one but we must get it quickly repaired as it will be raining all week! The fence will be replaced by the neighbour.  I will be very busy with the insurance and by the fact that I must get a roofer, prepare my departure to Dubai so I may not be often on my blog these coming days. We went out on Saturday to get some fresh air and relax a little after the storm.

I know some people have more damage than us, but it is very stressing for the roof and to find a roofer as they will be very busy I am afraid of the rain .

Our son is going up north on the sailing boat on Antarctica 🇦🇶 I can follow him on Garmin.

I’ll be back as soon as I can see you soon have a nice week!

After the storm.

 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.
