FRIDAY FAVE FIVE - FAVE ON FRIDAY

Photo memes are here


Finally I managed to get my flowers in the pots and was relieved that at least now the front yard looks nice.




I have to say that all my flowers are fake flowers but so nicely made that everybody thinks that they are real. Good for me now I don't have to care anymore, no watering, nothing.



Even my friends who came for a scrabble thought they all were real, and Arthur watched the game  and what we ate !  When we had the cake, nobody wanted to have coffee because it was so hot, so I opened a bottle of "Champagne" without alcohol ! That's very much appreciated when it is so warm.




My "office" was moved to the terrace and I spent the whole afternoon outside with my 3 secretaries.

My aqua gym was very nice because it was warm and I just had thrown a dress over my swimming suit, because in winter there a many layers to be taken off and the difference between the warm water and the outside temperature is big.

For the rest of the week I spent my days outside until today, where the temperature dropped during the night for 10°C which is a lot. Therefore back to warmer clothes !
