Painting day! 🎨

( source:ZZZOe)

 This morning my roof window is all frosted, -5 C but we will have sun which is nice 😊 and do work inside!

Some news from our village, very bad news…

On Sunday, Mr L went to the village bakery to get bread and croissants 🥐, but there was a placard on the door telling people that the shop was closed because of an agression. In fact we just have a new baker since Autumn and on Saturday evening some young people(18) three of them coming from 40 km were looking for someone to hit. They saw some light in the house, it was midnight knocked on the door, the baker opened and rushed in and hit him. He is injured broken nose…they have been arrested by the police, but we don’t feel very secure in the village at the moment.

This is sad 😔 

The women from the coffee shop ( cafe) was the victim of an agression last year too. This is a 1500 inhabitants village I wonder how all this will end! 

Painting day.

Today, I am going to do some painting. My kitchen cabinets need to be refreshed and I got some painting left. I will begin by one door today, because there are a lot to do and the time I have plenty of time to do it.

Have a good day !

Put some colours in your life.

Flowers and colours !

 Hello Friends,

Our last day of the year was very quiet.

My husband and I ,had some seafood for our supper and  at 9 O’Clock we had a call from our son in Dubai and had messenger conversation between the six of us.

My daughter spending the evening ( only the two of them) in their log cabin eating a « raclette » melted cheese on potatoes with ham. She did not want to gather with other people as the hospital were she works is very contaminated.

In fact we wished us Happy New Year at 9, because it was midnight in Dubai and we watched the fireworks 

On the Burj Khalifa. Then, we watched Tv and went to bed before midnight.

On the first of January , as usual ( and more this year) my husband and I make plans for the coming year and work hard in the house and make some changes.

Mr L also sorted out some papers to begin a new year and also did a little painting.

Today, I will be going to our local Do it yourself store to get all what we need for our projects.

This is how we started the year! We will have very grey skies and rain all week, so I enjoyed choosing some paint and see all the colours of the flowers and goldfish !

And what about you?

Today, it is raining and I had to go to the store as I needed some items to work.

Painting and cat news.

Hello Friends,

 

I have a picture and news from the stray cat in Dubai!

She is no more under the sofa and she is very friendly!

There is a difference in her eyes and fur with the two before pictures.

Last week I left my son on Skype with hair and beard and this week, probably too hot all is gone!

 

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.

When going abroad there are very good structures to look after your pet in Dubai.

 

Here, we are still in « Autumn time » cold and lots of rain!

I saw on tv that some of you have more than 40C they said in Canada the weather was as hot as in Dubai!

It must be very difficult and I don’t complain and prefer to be cold.

All the flowers in the garden are ruined! I can’t take any pictures.

Today, the painter is coming to begin the work.

Yesterday, they ave informed me they will come to change the boiler the 14 and 15th of October, I hope it won’t be too cold!

Concerning the windows I should know pretty soon.

The room will be painted in light grey the boiler will be white and we decided to re use the old cupboards and paint them in Nordic blue, to bring a fresh touch.

I hope the weather will improve for everybody!

Take good care and see you soon.

The before picture!
