Hello Friends

Lots of young people will run today 5000!

Our daughter has been training for months and now it’s the day

 Her name is Maud but her brother when he was little called her Momaud! This is her number “ in the footsteps of Heroes”! 

I saw that she was training and the marathon will start I’d better go and be on my phone to follow her.

A new start!

Hello Friends!

I am recovering little by little and we received the order from Ikea. Another new bed and something to sort toys for our grandchildren. My husband has built all last weekend.

This week I could not do much and stayed most of the time in my recliner. It was not a good week!

The temperature went down fortunately.

I think this weekend will be better.

Look at my two students  in the plane ✈️ coming back from visiting London!

Watching a film quietly and eating their lunch.

I had them twice on Skype this week and they enjoyed visiting places but it was very, very hot there in London.

Have a nice weekend!
 

Health problems and blog pause.

Dear Friends,

Having serious health problems at the moment I am doing a blog pause. Hope to see you soon.

Grandchildren in London

Maxime looking at the map!🗺️ 

Kew Gardens 

Hello friends!

Heat continues 33 degrees C this afternoon and I am still not feeling too well. I went out early this morning to do some shopping. Essentially fruits and vegetables and salad. I came back quickly inside! I should put the car in the garage, but it is too hot to go outside.

The pictures are from my grandsons, in fact as there is a religious holiday in Dubaï they decided at the last minute to fly to London the airspace being re opened.

But London is again hotter than France! 

My son took the children to Paddington experience, science museum…

And the second picture is from Kew Gardens .

But today my son just has sent me a message and told me that William and himself were sick. They have spent  a week in London and go back home tomorrow .

I am glad they discovered London if I had been on better health I would have been with them as it is not too far from France. But we will meet soon again end of July .

On Sunday we should loose 10 degrees! 😮‍💨 

Now I must prepare cottage cheese with red fruits for tonight. Hope you’re having a a nice day.

 

Heatwave and roses 🌹

Hello Friends,

I am waiting for Ikea delivery and before I can’t go out during the afternoon 

Because of the TOO  much heat I went in the garden to have a look at the roses.

This is a rose year! Many, many of them! I particularly love my Pierre de  Ronsard

It is really difficult to work  in the house with such a heatwave and we both are very tired.

Fortunately we sleep well with the AC upstairs 

But when I have to go grocery shopping it is difficult. I will go further tomorrow but Lidl  shop opens at half past eight before the other ones and it should be cooler.

We will have thunderstorm as usual and after the heat dome temperatures will go down on Sunday 😮‍💨 hope so!

 I am waiting for cooler weather on Sunday! Not feeling too well. 39 degrees C in some places !

I hope you enjoy a cooler weather!

Yesterday visit to Ikea.

( picture from Ikea) I found this to keep our grandchildren’s toys in order. Grandma will have to sort the toys !  🧸 give to other children some baby toys now.

(We went to ikea to buy a second bed with drawers and can be transformed in a double bed. This one is in the bedroom upstairs and the new one will replace the one downstairs in the room below. Mr L already has built the side table yesterday .)

 Hello friends!

We are hot 🥵 here! Too hot and this will be all the week again. Yesterday ,we decided to go to IKEA to get some new carpets, new bed for the downstairs bedroom and bed side. We also got a new little furniture for our grandchildren to put their toys away after they finished playing (hope so!not to stumble over their toys)

Some pieces will be delivered on Thursday morning. We have been walking 3 kms inside Ikea with AC!  and had a quick salad before going home.

Unfortunately the downstairs AC will be installed at the end of June, so I think I’ll live upstairs with AC all the week ! We will be around 40 C this week and I will be staying inside all day, just go out to water the plants tonight.

We also got a smaller carpet to put downstairs 

And carpets to put in the big bedroom upstairs for my son’s family. It is a bit dark because of the window shutters closed to protect from the heat.

Ikea delivery tomorrow morning ! 9 in the morning and already 25 C!  Hope you’ll have a nice cool day!

(We received the result of our  dog Bandit, this is a rare cancer but no metastasis and as he is 13 the evolution is slow and it may be stopped by the quickly surgery)

I am glad we did it! He is ok resting, eating and refreshing with the AC upstairs! For the moment he has a normal happy life!
