Patchwork and Maileg

(Look at last picture this one did not come in the right place)

Hello Friends!

Today, we are still back to cold weather. Yesterday I did the laundry and shirts ironing.

At the moment I am still on a diet so this morning I just looked at the Maileg cakes and food 😂! My husband doctor says I must loose weight for my health! But with thyroid problems it’s… difficult!😣 

I love my Maileg house but I am not sure my grandsons will be interested with it! Batman and trucks are their favourite games. No granddaughter to play with it !

News from Dubaï: dad is on his own, cleaning and reorganising the whole flat! School is going to start soon so the grandsons will have to go back to Dubai soon.

I love the tea set and macaroons  ! So good but not easy to make real ones.

Cheese for the mice

Bed time

Grandma and grandpa having tea and cake 🧁 

All the food in the fridge, toast with cheese 🧀 

 And finally a bed spread patchwork I wan some years ago 

On Saturday I bought a new steamer mine was old and broke. I use a lot my steamer to cook vegetables.

Autumn cleaning 🧹 in the Maileg house.

Today, it will be dusting in the Maileg mice house.

I found this vacuum cleaner  when we went to Bruges this spring.

This and that…

This morning a little sun before the rain

The circus for Maxime

I blowed a big Birthday cake for tomorrow !

I found one of Maxime’s Birthday present for April.All our Birthdays are between February and May !

 The storm is over, it is now all silent only the birds are slowly  waking up  We will have more rain today and I must go out to buy some items I forgot for tomorrow, such as cider to drink with the crêpes and beer to make the crêpes lighter. We are not used to drink alcohol this is why I forgot! 😆 but an exception for Normand cider with crepes!

Yesterday while shopping I found this little circus tent for Maxime. Next month I will start to organise a nursery in my son’s room for the two boys, I have plenty of ideas.

I have kept all my son’s jungle animals that will go with the circus. ( in real circuses now wild animals are forbidden here and animal in general)

This afternoon I have some cooking and baking to do, so I wish you a nice weekend !

Maileg house at Xmas.

 The past week, I did the Maileg house dusting and today I finished the Xmas decoration.

Last year I have knitted them red and white scarves for Xmas 🎄 

Today, I won’t do much my right knee being blocked 

But I will continue my journals.

Yesterday I prepared the meals for a few days so I can rest my knee and take pain killers!

Have a good day.

Trying to go out!

 Today, guess what?… we are having another storm!

But less in intensity.

It is the weekend  we would like to go out, but the place we want to go we have to drive through the forest and we have been told to be careful as many trees still could fall. Well! We are surrounded by forest so it is hard to get a safe road! The place I would like to go is where I find my Maileg mice. The Maileg house I am doing will be for my grandchildren. But…

At the moment, Grandma is playing with it!

I have decorated it for Fall and now will decorate for Xmas.

I found little burgers ( they are sweets) for the mice grandparents !

 I think we will brave the wind try to find a way without any forest to get something new ! Maybe Maileg Xmas decorations !and do our food shopping 🛍️. This is not a strong wind 80 kmh a normal Autumn wind.

Have a nice weekend.

A good relief 😮‍💨 !

(Youtube thunderstorm in Normandy)

I must do the dusting in the Maileg house they are way for Maxime and  for his future brother or sister???

Grandma and grandpa mice have survived to the heat!

They had air conditioning in the bedroom 😆 

The house is full now ready for our grandson to come

Maybe at Xmas if mum is allowed to take the plane!

 Hello Friends,

As I told you yesterday, we had a big thunderstorm ⛈️ 

With strong winds. Here it did not last long, but in our region trees have been uprooted, streets flooded and roofs damaged. Here we used to have power cuts, but now the  electric  wires are buried underground which is a very good thing. The first time we had a tornado here was the day after Xmas 1999 and the power had been cut during One week! No heating and no hot water in December!

Now, the heat is gone ( I hope for ever!) and the humidity is still a bit there, but 21 C!we lost about 15 degrees and we are having rain which is good  for the vegetation.

I can go out this afternoon with fresh air!

The bad weather we had is going to the north and east of France now . The south is no more having more than 40 degrees which will be a big relief for them after three weeks.

I hope you will have a nice and safe weekend.
