Peonies and rain.

Today, I am tidying the bedrooms and do the dusting.
I took out my pins, these are handmade embroidered brooches. My husband gifted me some and my son each time he comes and goes to Rouen.


The ladybird is the last one I received.






This frog has beautiful colours but is very poisonous in real!
I found this jacket in my wardrobe and the dress I bought in Dubaï some years ago. I forgot about them!
The peonies are starting to to bloom!



 It was heavily raining this morning, but it stopped and now it is grey and windy.

Mother’s Day.

Hello Friends!
Still waiting for my peonies to open!
Roses are coming out everywhere in the garden 


I got a new friend for the little garden, a wind hopper 
Yesterday we built the ikea bed for Maxime. Now everything is ready! I can relax!
It took us (some) time to build it…


 Yesterday morning we had to go to three shops to get the stairs protection gates ( two to install)

Now I have to wait for the deliveries from Dubaï. They are sending some items by UPS not to have to carry them with the two children.
Today it’s Mother’s Day here and we are going to our daughter’s home for the day!

Happy Mother’s day to you!

A Birthday 🍰



 Hello Friends !

This week I found this little house for Maxime
My morning coffee with yesterday cookies 🍪 to start the day! Mug from Emma Bridgewater «  Jack Russell »
I got the new barbecue cover
I did the varnish on my transfers


Today is a special day! Maxime’s Birthday 🎂 

He his two today. His nursery is closed for a week, due to flooding in Dubaï. This afternoon he will have a Birthday party with his nursery friends at home. It will be an international Birthday party with little boys coming from different parts of the world 🌎 !

I wish I could be there, but with the terrible weather there the airport landing tracks are flooded and there are no planes anyway.

Tomorrow is Friday and the end of the week I hope the weather forecast will get better for the weekend as this week has been an awful week with the windstorm during three days. 

Tomorrow I’ll get the vegetables I ordered at the farm for the week and then try to go out during the weekend with my husband.I just looked at the weather forecast and no 🌧️no wind 💨 for the weekend ! 😮‍💨

After the rain and wind 💨 the sun is back.

 Hello Friends,

,
Tulips from the garden!



Yesterday, I had a Skype call ☎️ end of afternoon it was my son on his way home. He could not take his scooter 🛴 or car because of the flooding in Dubaï and had to walk 45 mn from work to home. He was under the thunder and lightnings his feet in the water. I was anxious so was he walking in water with thunder. We chat on his way home and I new he was safe back home.

It has been a terrible day, dark all day and many car accidents, drowned car engines , flooded airports no plane… never seen such a weather there!

Today, it is back to normal 26C cooler temperature after the rain.
This morning one little boy was happy to splash in the big puddles! He has never seen that before!
This little boy will be 2 tomorrow ! Already two years old! I hope to be able to go and see him in Autumn as it will be too hot in a few weeks time.
After the rain and wind, the garden is now quiet
It is all getting green

The peonies have survived the wind 
It will be a lazy day for both of us today! I have ordered  vegetables from the farm on internet yesterday and will get them on Friday and I have done quite a lot yesterday… except the shirts ironing I have to do today.
Bandit and I wish you a good day!

A cool relaxing day ☺️ !

Cheeses will be bought before we leave I have orders from friends and our daughter  We will have lunch there tomorrow  And supper there tomo...
