FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

1. The week started with Pentecost Monday, therefore all shops were closed. I devoted myself to plant the last plant in the pot of the terrace and salted the gravel against weeds.



Now it looks all neat and clean.It still was cold and cloudy.

2. Nicole and Charlie should come over I wanted to help her with filling in a formular online for her Visa to Turkey, but then she called me, that she couldn't come, she had a flat tire and had to wait for the repairman. So I went there with my computer, but unfortunately it didn't work, so we spent the rest of the afternoon on her terrace where it was warm when you wore a cardigan !

3.


A lazy day, except that I had to put some fake flowers along the entrance and then my neighbor came over and for the first time we could sit on my new bank in the sunshine before it got too cold.

4. Nicole wanted to change her kitchen which was quite old and not very practical. We decided to go to Ikea. First we had lunch, asparagus with salmon (!) it was delicious and then we went looking for kitchen furniture models. The first kitchen we saw we both liked. So we went to the salesman who with the measures of Nicole's kitchen made a 3 D plan on his computer with the elements she wanted. I had never seen that, and it was so funny when he moved one furniture from one end to the other or replaced the fridge with something else. At the end came out a perfect fitting kitchen looking like it would look in her kitchen.



Before we returned home I bought two doll beds for my cats, because I only had one and Pookie and Rosie were fighting for this bed. Now everybody has his own ! Mr. G. assembled it immediately and of course no cat tried them out !

5.


I almost finished my cat painting, we had a real nice morning. After class Nicole, I and another classmate went for lunch, and nearly exploded when we came out. At lunch time they offer a "all you can eat" barbecue, as starters, salmon, mozarella with tomatoes and Parma ham and lots of other delicious things, then brochettes with vegetables, then different sorts of  cheese, and fruit salad or cake as dessert. The whole lunch for 14 € (16 $) !

I just had two apples for supper !

  8. Well I am loving the whole kitchen thing. Neat. And so the cats like their beds? Mine seem to like things that I don't purchase. :( Blessings to you.

  10. Your outdoor areas look so nice! What a neat idea to have doll beds for cats. That sounds like a scrumptious lunch.

  11. What a nice week. I feel like a heathen because I don't know anymore what Pentecost Sunday/Monday is. (My Catholic education has been so long ago and so abandoned. I will Google it just out of curiosity -- I am pretty sure it was never a holiday here in the US thougho) Such a pretty little garden "room" there -- I love that. That all you can eat lunch place sounds amazing.

  12. I like your cat beds, they are so cute and I think your cats will warm up to them soon. How fun for Nicole to plan a new kitchen.

  13. That lunch with "all you can eat" menu would suit me; I saw lots of vegetarian options in your post. I love your garden. The cat bed is super. Grant and I would have to sleep on it as in the winter the cats sleep on our bed (due to the electric blanket!)

  14. Oh my goodness I laughed at the cat and beds story. Isn't that typical? I'm sure when you are not looking they will take over the new one too. Your walkway looks lovely. This is the weekend when I usually get to the flowerbeds too but it has been raining for days and is really cold. So I'm thinking it is not going to get done.

  15. Yes, that's just like cats. They totally ignore something new or use it constantly for days and then walk away and never touch it again.

  16. I love those little beds. Pity the cats didn't try them out. I am sure they would have found the really comfortable.

  18. Your garden looks beautiful. I had to chuckle over the cats not trying out the bed. Silly kitties. Hope you have a great week!
