DIY of the day!

We start to take the paint off

I did not remember I had done stencil on it!

This is the flower of the peony I received from my daughter for last year Mother’s Day!

It will have two flowers. I am also waiting for 4 or 5 other peonies to bloom.

This after noon we are going to start our work on the outside of my shed, take the old blue paint off.

Bandit is gone for a walk with his dad and then will stay inside as the product we are going to use is dangerous , we will wear masks and special gloves and glasses. I hope we will get rid of the old paint!

Then we will have to wash it and let it dry before painting. Today we decided to do the front of the shed and see how it goes on.

Our son is in the plane to Florida for his work to Cape Canaveral for a launching  and my daughter prepares her cycling trip for three days! 

It was calm during the  lockdown, but the youngest are starting to move again! And as parents the worries are back! But it is normal life again!

At the moment, I am in the garden in my recliner with all the sparrows babies that have left their nests and talking loudly to each other! Some mothers are feeding babies as big as the mother itself! We must have a hundred of them ( parents of other years included) in the garden! They live in a big bush in front of the house.

Last night I wanted to switch my Apple Watch and did not wear my glasses and o called the 🆘 emergency !

Could not stop it so I heard the voice of the emergency man asking me what was the problem…I apologised and said it was something wrong with my watch…. But I know if o have any problems it is very quick! 😂 

 So, I will leave you for today and try to go working!

Cutting our field grass.

 Hello Friends,

Yesterday, was a busy day! Somebody came to do an estimation

For us to change our awning ( don’t know if it’s the right word) to make shade on a terrace, for a new electric one. I chose yellow and white stripe, to be more estival. Then an estimation by the same person to change our windows, this one is the first estimation, but I have others to do.

Then, I heard the noise of an old tractor and knew it was the retired farmer who yearly comes to cut the grass in our field!

He had been cutting the grass of a neighbour and wanted to know if he could come. This is his pocket money, so he does not forget!

He is more than 80 so each time I am scared and had to look after him, yesterday it was not very easy with the two of them!

So I had two people at the same times did it was difficult to manage.our field is at the back of our house.

Today, a new estimation for our heating, within two years oil heating won’t be allowed any more so we choose a heat pump.

I have an appointment at 10h30 so I must hurry!
