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!

Back home safely.

Hello Friends!

Grandma is back home safe!

The travel was exhausting! The plane is always an A380 the biggest plane which was full more than 500 people on board! 

The assistance was very good at Dubai airport, but there was hardly none in Paris! And they broke my handle suitcase.

I left around midday and was home at 10.30 PM!

The plane landed on time at 7.20 PM but we had a lot of wind and heavy rain on the road  so that we had to reduce speed ( we could hardly see the road) so the journey has been “very”long!

While I was away grandpa did some cleaning, his laundry and grocery shopping. Today I am on my recliner and the washing machine is doing the job for me!!

I am freezing! And put the heater  a bit higher

And I also feel hungry earlier because there was 3 hours difference with France 😂 

I found the orange chocolate I used to get in England when I was a child!

An expression cup from Starbucks for grandpa’s collection 

This is the weather in Dubai for this coming week 3 or 4 degrees less than last week

I watched the film but wanted the book in English 

As I must drink a lot of water during the day I found this glass at Warner Bros. Reminds me of my childhood 😂 

 And another gift for Grandpa dates with pistachio.

And some Dubai chocolate! Chocolate with pistachio.

Now I really must rest during the whole week and try to go out this weekend.

Have a nice day and thank you for your comments and for following me!

At the airport

Hello friends!

I have some time at the airport on the disabled  room.

My son accompanied me by taxi and we had little time to say goodbye somebody came to get me with a wheelchair and off I went!

There is a Costa cafe and I had a sandwich and lemonade.

Before I used to go in the numerous shops but now go to the plane in wheelchair, the airport being so big!

You have to walk a lot ,take the train, lift…

I was used to it many times but not anymore.

It is around 30 degrees here and snowing at home and in Paris it will be such a difference!

Waiting with my country living US / Canada the one I get in France is the English one makes a change!

I will be leaving for a 7.45 hours flight so it will be pretty long and two hours drive from Paris to home.

We’ll see you later! 👋
