A new weeek.

Today’s Autumn weather.

Hello Friends!

Today is a new week and Bandit is smiling 😊 

Not feeling too well , sometimes he gets better and sometimes not… he will be 13 in December he is an old dog now! We love him !

Our two grandsons at Sea World Abu Dhabi with a friend.

A little bit of fun! Yes it’s difficult to see the years  go by when you have to scroll to your birth date!

Sometimes it gives vertigo!!!

This will be my motto: don’t watch the news and avoid the scale!

Happy New Week!
 

Grandchildren in London

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.

 

See you soon!

The temperature is cold for Dubai this morning my son told me it was 11 C the coldest winter! But 23 C in the afternoon until 5!

Hello Friends!

Just a quick post to say thank you for your messages!

Today I did the last shopping for my husband, put notes for him to know how the different machines are working… weighted my luggage. Yesterday I did my online checking. Now my small air fryer is heating a croque monsieur I made myself. Then I’ll finish all I have to do before leaving for Paris Roissy airport.

Well I have better go. See you soon and thank you for your visits !

We are waiting for another storm over Brittany which is already flooded! Huge waves and strong winds  again!

I saw that in USA it will be very very cold! Stay safe and « Bon courage! »

A visit to the Vikings.

Tomorrow ´s forteresse  in Falaise

We are having frost and fog and some beautiful sun in the afternoons. My son took this picture

Yesterday after the fog has gone.

I want to thank Mari from «  my little corner of the world » for her Christmas gifts for our two grandchildren ! 

These are very sweet toys and they enjoy them very much.

This was one more surprise for them at Christmas !🎄 

Thank you

Today, was a day out to Rouen Vikings museum. We live in Normandy ( the Nord man country) our roots is a mix of Francs and Danish Vikings and it’s popular among young people who are very proud of the region history. So a new museum has opened to explain how our part of France became Normandy.

Dad with Maxime on Viking

 Dad with William. It is rather scary ! Our history is scary 😟 !

Tomorrow we should visit a fortress and an automaton museum .

Stuck at home!

My paper houses survived for the moment just having lost one window shutter!

Hello friends!

Grandma is alone today! She should be out at Rouen Christmas market… but she is in bed with a virus like all Christmas since the beginning of COVID. Why on Christmas time!!!

So they are gone to Rouen to auntie Maud and the Christmas market.

My daughter is coming to help me tomorrow to prepare everything for Christmas. But as I was scared to be ill I anticipated a lot fortunately.

My white amaryllis is on time for the holidays 

 I hope to be better by Sunday to bake a little bit of Christmas cookies with Maxim. William will eat them!

They arrived!

Yesterday, they arrived ! Fortunately we feel better but tired.

Grandma has bought some warm clothes warm jackets in the Netherlands as it is cold.

Grandma got up at 4 AM , the children have been waking up early with three hours difference with their country, so grandma is very tired, but with a lot of hugs grandma is very happy 😃 

We did a little walk in the country this morning and Maxime said we were going in the jungle because of the lot of trees! I did not know I was living in the jungle 😂 

 In the afternoon we went to Desjardins a big garden centre with lots of Xmas decorations, eat at the restaurant and had a look at the fish, rabbits and birds.

William is not feeling too well because of his teeth and is now in bed, Maxime is playing with grandpa in his police car.

I am resting in my recliner before preparing the meal.

Finally after this first day grandma will sleep well… she hopes! See you soon for grandma ´s adventures!
