This will be the new DIY of the new year!

I already did some a long, long time ago…metal to repel. I have already got the book!

Hello Friends !

This is what I did yesterday morning. I haven’t taken a picture before but the painting had no perspective and all was flat.  My husband thought number painting was very easy, he bought new brushes but the numbers were so tiny he thinks he mixed up with the colours. He was really desperate so I have spent Monday morning working on it 

I don’t really like the colours but it is not my choice. I think he will be glad tonight, there is now a perspective.

I have some more work to do on it before tonight.

 The little lamp on the left is a present from a patient.

We are also receiving a lot of chocolates ! Too much!

It’s decided my husband will leave his work at the end of 2026 he will be retired!  

At the same time I am doing( the machine is doing the washing) the weather is fine, sun and 9 degrees.

Tomorrow Tuesday we are going to the ophthalmologist to see what’s wrong with my eyes. Fingers crossed 🤞 it’s ok…hope we can get through farmers demonstrations today.

I will try to take some pictures of Rouen and its Christmas market!

See you soon. Thank you for your visit.

Hello Friends 

It has been  some days before I post today, but I had a lot to do , my husband had flu after he vaccinated and i myself am not too well for three weeks.

After having the electrical problem, coffee maker out and now oven problems it was hectic but most of the problems are solving!

The new coffee maker arrived and we are pleased with it it grounds coffee ☕️ 

On Saturday I tried to go out and it was hard but we went to a new concept store and had coffee we found little watercolour books a tiny puzzle and had a latte macchiato with a little home made apple and caramel cookie.

The electrical problem is solved for the moment… when the electrician came he had to go in a bedroom upstairs and with a ladder had to go in the attic I  wanted to hold the ladder for him but he said he could manage! I was downstairs and received a phone call it was him asking me to come  the ladder had slid  and he was stuck in the attic 😂 you could see two legs moving in the air it was fun ! Then I held the ladder for the rest of the work.

Tomorrow is a Bank holiday here and we will both have a rest!

I’ll soon visit blogs and catch up!

Have a good week.

 Still indoors, but going out tomorrow with Mr L, looking at some sales in the shops and wandering in the villages around.

We went to have a look at the bookstore and I found some very nice and interesting books.

I am glad to be able to paint the birds I see from my window.

This one is about how to use paint colours to decorate or re decorate your home it’s a nice guide from Farrow& Ball

As Snoopy wishes you: Have a Great Day!

An inspiration…

Today, we have lost about 10 degrees C and it is so nice to breeze fresh air and open the doors and windows again!

It’s time for sun flowers fields here too.

I found the inspiration  today fron Mari’s blog “ My little corner of the world” she took a beautiful  picture of a sun flower field at sunset. I took pictures of sunflowers field and I also added paintings from Giverny’s paintings museum. ( Gustave Caillebotte ) it was an exhibition we have visited some time ago.

Just heard on the local radio that the temperature will go up again this afternoon!

So I did the ironing and cooking this morning and rest this afternoon.

Sunflowers are beautiful bright flowers and it’s amazing how they all turn forwards the sun.

All on the same side so you can see where is the sun!☀️ 

Another field close to Bandit’s kennel in the country

After our outing, it is now a working day!

Today, was working day! I have been painting the whole day.

My little garden shed has been damaged by a storm, so we bought some wood panels to repair it but the paint specialist been me ! I had to do it!

The field is full of bees 🐝 

White colombines are my préfères ones

New rhododendron flowers

After work, sitting in a recliner 

 Spring has arrived, but will it stay?

We already did quite a lot of work outside and inside.

All will be done before July!
