I wish you a peaceful weekend.

Happy Birthday 🎂 William!

 Hello Friends!

In the midst of the  chaos, this little boy is two today! Dad went to get a birthday present last evening. An excavator! 

From all of us.

The situation in Dubaï is stable and safe for the moment only planes that takes people flying home.

Yesterday it was very warm 19 degrees C. Fortunately I can stop the boiler to save oil ( oil and gasoline prices are  going up!)

Despite these world worries, the outside world here is welcoming Spring. We had one weeping willow trimmed but the other one is beautiful 

Pierre de Ronsard roses

New watercolour book about spring 

Nothing is fixed yet I made some yo-yos yesterday and will decide how to do it.

I found in my craft room something of forgot about 

Some watercolour card to be painted. I think I’ll paint this wheelbarrow today.

Do you remember when we used these ink pens at school?

I used some mintage nibs. Grandma has sent a little video to William for his Birthday this morning We 🥰 love ❤️ you William! Dad’s Birthday 🎁 is on the 8th! 

Have a nice day and enjoy the moment!

A relief 😮‍💨!

Hello Friends 

First, our son arrived safely in Dubaï. Emirates 

Used a A380 to bring home about 50 people 

This plane was full when I went to Dubai more than 500 people. They only took home people living in the Emirates.

I just had a message from him saying that life is nearly back to normal for the moment schools are closed until the end of the week.

It was a long day for us and his sister followed his plane in the evening after work and has sent me this just before he has landed.

Two weeks ago a shop owner gave me this four leaves clover 🍀 it is growing  fast and I think it was a good idea!

Yesterday, I did some cooking while watching the news on  TV. I cooked carrots and cumin soup, endive soup, apple sauce, pear compote and date loaf! I kept busy all day.

I slept well after our son’s landing.  

Today I begin a craft I saw on internet. I have plenty of vintage lace that I must use. I will have to iron the lace saw in place and decorate at the end with bits and pieces.

I want to thank you for your support yesterday.

I am glad that my grandsons have their father safely back.

Here, the sun is shining and  signs of Spring are arriving quickly. Flowers, trees and birds building their nests…

Thank you again for your messages!

Today I can breathe better, but the situation stays worrisome.

 

A long day

 

Hello friends,

This will be a long day today. An emirates plane is leaving from Paris and our son is going to the airport and try to go back to Dubai. I think it’s not safe enough to fly with this intense sky activity but the air companies are starting some flights again. This will be a very long day and wait.

Our television is on for the whole day. I will try to do something but it will be difficult.

This morning I have been looking at the garden and birds to relax a little bit but it is difficult.

Our son should be home by midnight.

Hope everything goes well.

Thank you for your comments I will let you know about the coming situation.

 

A Birthday cake and news

Hello Friends 

Yesterday we went to our daughter for lunch and ate her Birthday cake. Her Birthday was end of February but they were away in Denmark so it was a bit late! Already 41! Time flies so quickly ! 

This morning my phone doesn’t want to use google so I had to use my I pad to upload pictures! 

I am watching the news at the same time, the news that are not very good…

Our son has left Geneva and took a train to Paris  waiting for a plane but I think it will be long. The grandchildren don’t notice much fortunately and I expect are happy to be home but the problem is that they can’t go outside.

I left home with winter and now spring is gently arriving.

 After about 40 days heavy rain here this week the sun will be shining. We had our big weeping willow trimmed as you can see at the back  due to the numerous storms and the garage being next to it. The lawn had been cut and now the robot does the job.

This afternoon I must go and have my hair cut I could not go earlier not being well enough. 

Thank you for your visits and I hope that the situation will improve quickly but…

Difficult times.

Hello friends,

It’s been a long time since I wrote on my blog… 

I am not feeling well at the moment having various health problems.

Today I had a call from our son who was in Switzerland for a week for his job is blocked there because planes going to Middle East are cancelled.

There are problems in Dubai no school, no nursery and they must stay inside. I am worried for our grandchildren if our son can’t leave Switzerland he will have to travel to France and stay until the airspace is re opened.

There has been a problem in Dubai today and I just heard that missiles are over the town.

There is a big parking under the flat where are my son’s family to go in case of big problem.

I pray for peace and for our grandchildren and their mother who are in Dubai now.

I will be back when I feel better and when I ‘ll have news from our son in Switzerland and our grandchildren in Dubai.

See you soon I hope.

Having fun!

Hello Friends!

Last week I was eating a sandwich in the children’s park with all the Nannie’s and their babies and the tower Burj Kahlifa was just in front of me and I saw something on the tower took my phone and saw the men cleaning the windows! Imagine when the top windows must be cleaned… 

Grandma in a rocket 🚀 at Warner Bros with my son and grandson!  We had fun!

 And the best part of my holiday was Maxime singing 🎵 

I love his little voice. Grandma had to speak English with the boys, they don’t want to speak French!

I hope you’ll enjoy the videos 😂!

Have a nice day!
