Out and about with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...


We stopped by the Chinese Pagoda in La Selle Guerchaise, Sainte-Anne Chapel, to drop off a few warm hats for whomever might need them.

I've slept most of the day, on and off, after several restless nights due to intense muscular pain in my right side.

One advantage of an early start was that I had plenty of time to prepare Fair Damsel's favourite breakfast.

Looks like my manifesting of Spring flowers worked. Mr. C got me a flat of sunbeamatastical primrose.

I'm manifesting Spring by crocheting bright flowers.

It was actually warm enough for a bit this afternoon for us to open the window so Moriarty could enjoy watching the birds. Sadly, I did not manage to get a video of him having a lively conversation with one of the outside cats.

Here is my Valentine amaryllis whom I've named Winthrop. If you get that reference, you really know your musicals.

I crocheted another beanie. I think I might have to keep this one. I adore the pale lavender contrasted with the bright purple.

Mr. C gave me The Granny Square Card Deck for my birthday. I've decided to #crochet 1 square every week with Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 yarn, size H (5mm) hook. This will give me 50 squares with 2 weeks to join them into...something before my next birthday. Week 1 - Agean Square


Mr. C also indulged my yarn addiction.

Valentine's Day dinner with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...


We thoroughly enjoyed homemade potato soup (my maternal grandmother's recipe), fresh bakery bread, escargots, and rather exotic strawberry pop.

Fair Damsel wasn't content to be the only one spoiled today, so she spoilt me with Valencia the elephant, dark chocolate with hazelnuts, and 4 Valentine's Day cards which she hid strategically for me to find.


A Sunbeamatastical day for us both. πŸ™‚☄️🌻🌞


Mr. C gave me two truly epic new sleep shirts for my birthday. He also gave me a sparkly. Yes, I know I'm bragging, but a man this generous deserves some praise.


#Birthday 


I'm having my birthday bath now. The water is pink and smells of roses. That bath bomb was almost as big as my fist. The water's all silky.


Mr. C was excited to have me open my birthday card and I could see why.


For those who don't speak French, the text says, " Happy Birthday! May your day be filled with happiness."


#Birthday 


I'm a lucky lady. Mr. C got me both Valentine and birthday flowers.

I've been cutting up the huge piles of wood from the trees by the lake for the past two days and decided to take it easy today.

Fair Damsel spent her time making chicken salad and her delicious potato soup in readiness for her birthday tomorrow.πŸ™‚☄️🌻🌞

Out and about with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...


The camper has been iffy about starting in the cold, damp weather; so I rode along to Intermarche to wait in the camper with the engine running while Mr. C got groceries. Sights along the way included a siege or egrets in a field and a murder of crows in the trees.

The second day without Internet gave me the chance to catch up on odd jobs.

Meanwhile, Fair Damsel prepared scrumptious pasties for dinner.

Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.πŸ˜‹

Ta-da! Here is my new sweater!

Done! My first pullover sweater! Of course, you can't see the colours (very pale lavender and green) in this light. I'll have Mr. C take a picture of me wearing it outside tomorrow. Hopefully, there'll be some sun again. Happy #NationalSweaterDay !
