A day inside the house 🏠 🥵 !

Today, I cooked this morning before the heat goes UP!

Now we will have more than 30C about 33C

As I don’t go out during the day, I am doing some tidying and found these little plates from England.

The first one is the month of  May

.The winter months are missing I must look for them on the net.

September 

This is July

June

April

 This is what we did last evening !

Build the bed of our grandson! 

Back to 36 years!

I found a three in one baby and child bed.

A cradle on top and can be changed in a child bed,

Changing table. A folding bed to take when we  will go in the hotel with the whole family on the coast.

🥵 hot! 🥵 too hot!

Two weekends ago we cleaned and repaired the  awning on the terrace. It is time to change it , since covid I can’t get a new one none in stock, so I decided to repair it and that was hard but done!

This Saturday I cleaned the terrace  rugs table and chairs.

I have still the back door stairs to clean.

It is hard to keep the plants alive because of the heat.

We are having 30C these days, but going to 40C by the end of the week! 

On Saturday afternoon I went to collect second hand baby items and went to a shop to by a baby bed , sheets

And everything needed.

Baby Maxime is arriving on August 7th for three weeks

And I don’t want to go shopping with the heat.

On Sunday we trued to built the bed and what occurred was that they made a mistake and gave me a baby Park!

And they have forgotten some of my items!

So l had to go back this morning to get The BED!

Then I went to ikea and ate cinnamon bread roll, I love them.

There I got the end of my shopping before the high heat.

Now I am doing the washing and baby washing to prepare the bed and bedroom.

Yesterday, we had a barbecue with my daughter and her husband but it was hot outside. The children took the ping pong table to their new home from the garage.

 I give the birds water everyday!

For the weekend barbecue I baked a lemon cheese cake with lemon curd topping ! Delicious!

With home made lemon ice cream! 

This temperature will stay for two weeks! 🥵 

I hope you have a better temperature !

Summer Armada, Tall ships in Rouen.

In 335 days the Armada ( tall ships) will take place again in Rouen!

When the children were younger and still with us we did a cruise from Rouen to Le Havre all the way down the river Seine and under the bridges on this tall ship «  Mir » it was a beautiful experience and a nice day, something you only do once in your life.

Before I was living in a village by the river Seine and each four years we gathered with our picnic on the river banks to see the tall ships come up or down the river and listen to the sailor’s songs.

This is our favourite the Mexican one.( source net)

The opening bridge in Rouen

We used to go very early with the children to visit the ships before the crowd and get their stamps on a special book.

This one was not in Rouen but I took the picture in Brittany in Saint Malo.

Every evening there is a fire work above the river.

 This is the Mexican one « Cuauthemoc »

It is a nice event we enjoy to go each 4 years!

I know the tall ships are going to other countries, I saw some in Bergen( Norway) once  are they going to your country?

Baking with rhubarb from the garden.

These rhubarb muffins with streusel recipe I found on Lorrie’s blog  the link to her blog is at the end of today’s post.

There is a nice smell of cinnamon in the house.

I have cut the rhubarb from the garden this morning
