FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

1. On Monday was my first day home and it was hot ! So hot that I left my suitcase as it was and started to sort out my holiday pictures. That took me quite some time and I decided to move on our terrace under the Pergola and continue there. Then I suddenly realized that I should take out something of the freezer for supper ! Even that was too much, but I managed. It was an Italian pasta salad, with salmon and mozzarella, unfortunately Mr. G. who always warms up the supper in the Microwave only saw pasta and warmed up the salad. Useless to say that it had a rather strange taste, the mozzarella had melted and the little tomatoes were cooked ! I told him to take a closer look next time and put on his glasses and not warm up everything which is always at the same place in a bowl just like a robot. I considered for a moment to put my slippers there instead just to see if he would warm them up too. But I didn't.

2. The next day it was cold ! Half of the temperature we had the day before. No excuse anymore to unpack my suitcase and fill in the laundry basket.



In the afternoon I went to Nicole where I was greeted by Charlie who was so happy to see me. Fortunately it had stopped raining and there was a little sunshine so we could sit outside and I reported about my holidays.

3.  There was still enough food for us in the freezer so I didn't have to go shopping, Mr. G. did it instead for fruits, cheese and ham and cat food of course which is the most important thing in his eyes. And it was hot again !



The only thing to do was not to move ! I had seen this sign in England at a friend's house and found it so nice that I tried to create the same but with cats and translated it into French. Here is the result. Now I have to find a frame and hang it up ! Mr. G. laughed and approved.

4. It became even more hot ! Late afternoon over the hedge,  I talked to Dominique my neighbor and we decided to go for a drink to the Waterloo Lion and do some Tourist watching.



It was a great idea, because there were lots of them ! Despite the heat they bravely climbed up the 226 steps !  We almost thought we would be in the UK ! Everybody around us spoke English and Dominique took the opportunity to dig out her English and exercise !

5. The week ended with another hot day and after having done some household scores early morning when it wasn't so hot yet, I moved outside into my summer office.



where I spent the rest of the whole day. Ilona came to visit me, because in her garden it was too hot. So we had a nice afternoon together.
