We have always had pets in our home and my son did not have one for ten years where he lives. His wife is télé working since the pandemic and has no contact with the outside , I think it is a good idea for her as well.
Living in Normandy I had a blog some time ago and decided to create this one to continue the adventure with you through visits of special spots in Normandy and my hobbies DIY and home decoration. Hope to begin a new adventure with you!

Painting week!
Hello Friends,
I am still very busy at the moment. After I found the firms to change the doors and windows of the house, found the firm to change the boiler, we decided to have the boiler room painted And change the furniture in that room.
I have a before picture and will show you the after picture when finished!
The weather is still the same , Autumn weather! Cold and wet!
Tomorrow, we are going to choose the paint and Monday the painter is coming.
It is a small room. I think I will choose a light grey or beige colour. The boiler will be white, a much better colour than orange!
I must find « on a budget » white kitchen cupboard.
Before we sell the house when Mr L retires it was necessary to do it.
So, as you can see we are busy at the moment, but I will try to continue my visits on your blogs. I will post pictures of the making over.
I wish you a nice Weekend .

The cat from Dubai.
Hello Friends,
In a previous post, I told you about the cat my son rescued in Dubai. The cat which is girl whose name is Kitty stayed one week under an armchair is now sleeping on it!
She eats an begins to behave much better.
She is still scared sometimes and while my son and his wife watch TV she starts turning round the sofa for about 30 times!
Why they don’t know for the moment.
I am very glad she starts to strette.
I have been very busy this week, doing all the quotes and I found the firm to replace the boiler and also to change the front door and all the windows.
Today, we have lost 15C degrees and it’s raining a lot.
We wanted to go on the coast, but we decided to have a rest at home!
I wish you a nice weekend.

Workers in the house
Today, is the day to install the air conditioning!
Bandit and I are in my bedroom since 9 as the workers go through the entire house! Fortunately it is not raining!!!
I can rest my ankle and Bandit is getting very bored.
On Saturday, Mr L cut the grass in our field as the grass was already starting to grow. Yesterday, one of the neighbour had his hay done, but it was very noisy.
Today, we are having 30C we will be glad to have air conditioning tonight!
I hope I can go downstairs soon!
Have a nice day!
The work ended at 3 o’clock.
I need your help! My son in Dubai has adopted a stray cat from a rescue organisation.
The cat is two years old and is under the armchair since Saturday
Does not eat much and cries during the night. I had lots of cats in the past but baby cats. I think it will be difficult with a two year old cat. Have you got any idea?
My point of view is that it will take very long!
If you have any advices they will be welcomed.
Thank you.

New born in the garden.
Hello Friends,
To change the boiler and to change the doors and windows 17 windows I had painted white in the past.
I have to do them by myself Mr L being too busy. It is very hard
Not to be influenced and to choose the best company and don’t make any mistakes!
I have to choose by next week which one is the best, best quality and best price.
We will move within 3 or 4 years and it’s time to do it.
This weekend we will have a rest in the garden and on Monday
The workers are arriving at 9 to install the air conditioner.
So it will be a busy week!
I wish you a good weekend.
