Batman is arriving! 🦇

Batman is arriving!!!


New little curtains

My craft corner and the beginning of our sorting out.

 Hi Friends!

Today it is 22 degrees C and the sun is shining! This morning I continued the work we have started yesterday, we are getting rid of some our belongings and donate them. We don’t know if we will still stay long in our house or move. I also sorted out all our photos it was a bit stressful… looking at all the stages of your life, my Birthday approaching ( well I am glad to have reached this age but…) I wanted to relax from the news and I am not ! 😂  I am really very worried for my son’s family and try to be occupied all the time for me it’s the best way to ease my mind.

I wish you a good start of the week!

Another Birthday and woman’s day.


Happy Birthday Romain who Is  born on Women’s Day
We  love you, take good care!
Hello Friends.

First of all today is our son’s 38 th Birthday 🎂 

We had a chat with him this morning and we talked about the situation in the country. Last night a man has been killed in his car ( we heard it on tv last night) for the moment they are ok and have alerts on their phones when their is a problem.

Yesterday there was William’s birthday at home he had a nice time!

Yesterday we went out to get a bit relaxed and I went to my friend s’ shop to get what I saw and reserved on her live on Tuesday. A found a black and white top and an oversized short sleeve cardigan, a black pair of jeans and a light pink blouse. 👚 here pale Colors are found everywhere in the shops especially pink this year.

Today we changed our mind we will stay home and go out next Sunday because my husband will be on duty on Saturday. We will go to the sea and to a restaurant. 

Today we are going to sort out Christmas decorations and my craft room in order to take unused things and clothes to the charity shop. This will be our day today and in between watch the news.

Happy Woman’s day!

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…
