Weekend in pictures.

Hello!

Oh, it's Monday, again, and I am so tired. And I feel like old granny as every inch of my body is aching.

And I know the reason.. 

Our friend M did have her 30th birthday party last weekend. The party theme was LMFAO Party rock athem, so of course it meant dancing...and dancing.. and dancing.. !

And my back didn't like it a bit! haha and I did fell asleep on the way home and Raph needed to drive me directly to the front door before parking the car. I just gave Leonie some food (at 3.30am!! ) and went directly to bed, with the makeup and all. 

Earlier that day,we went to eat at Tommy's, the only american restaurant in town...I think. 

If you know any other in Avignon - please let us know!

Or good burger places.

please,no photos 

I was little bit disappointed for the hamburgers, as we were the first customers and first to serve and the hamburgers were little bit cold inside! But as we both feel bad to say anything, ever, we kept our mouths shut and ate cold hamburgers.

My parents sent me a package from Finland, my mom made me wool socks for the winter!

How sweet is that! I am trying to knit still the same wool poncho that I started 2 years ago.. I won't ever get anything ready. And Léonie likes too much to attack the knitting stuff.

And the weekend was passing by way too quickly..

Whole weekend, Léonie was little bit fofolle, funnily crazy.

Coucou!

By the way, Léonie has so pretty eyes! It looks sometimes yellow, but when you look close it's mix of blue, green and yellow, all separately in circles.

I am not sure what is going on in the little head of hers!

" But I am calm.. keep coming closer.. yeees, come closer.." 

and then she can attack again ;)

She is so sweet.

 One of her favourite places, bathroom sink. 

She like to drink straight from the tap and play with the water.

Sometimes she even puts her head under and gets wet head.

And I thought cats doesn't like water.

Have a great week!

I love rainy days. Why don't you?

Why people dislike rainy days?
I love walking outside when it rains, take my raincoat, Hai's and go out for a walk.
Let the rain wet your hair.. feel the raindrops on your skin.
It feels good.
After it feels even better to sit on the sofa, warm feets and cuppa of cocoa,tea or what ever is your favourite drink. Add few honey waffles, nut&raisin chocolates, delicious!

How I love this time of the year!
Dim light, mouth full of sweetness and cuddling at the sofa with the loved ones.

 Le pont Saint Bénézet, known as Pont d'Avignon - water is up until the sidewalk.

Our homestreet.

And our tiny blue door between the driving school and restaurant.
Can't wait to go home tonight after work...

Weird Friday

Since few days,I have been sick. I almost decided not to go to school today because of that, but I wanted so badly to get the result of the first exam that I went anyway.

My morning started nicely with Leonie relaxing on my lap,looking like a baby. 

 I saw from the window that it is raining really heavily.. Little I did know that the rain could turn to something more...

First lesson,we were given our results in order, bad grades first and best ones last. I was sure my name would be called immediately, but when half of the students had already got their test - I was thinking there must be a mistake! But no, I actually got quite good grade of french «ecriture personnel». Not the best but higher than average in our group. I was so happy! 

At the lunch break,we were looking from the windows ... gosh,there is a LOT of water in the streets... Our third lesson was about in half way when people started to receive messages that the rivers nearby are flooding. What? Floods? People started to call around and we got info from the main scool building that students needs to be evacuated. We waited until we got sign to leave, I went quickly to my car.

The roads were already full of cars,water everywhere. Few roads were blocked. I decided to go around the city on other side,trying to drive more far away from the flooding river. I called R earlier,then my phoneline died for a while. I wasn't sure if I was able to go home, as I heard that the old walls what are around our city will be blocked with sand bags. I reached R again by phone and I picked him up from work on the way. There was only one road flooding inside Avignon,luckily not in our neighbourhood. Now we are safe and in warm,rain has stopped for a while. We are waiting the second rain to hit Vaucluse area at night. Crazy,right?
