A tea room, a corner of tranquility, the bustling after all is fleeting, a place where one can meditate.

“I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I'm praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I'm grateful that I'm heard.”

Bonjour et bienvenue, it’s an hour before sunrise and I am wide awake (thanks to the alarm for my first tablets of the day) preparing this entertaining (?) blog for you. It’s currently 2c outside but as I am still “abed” it is warm and cosy.
We have had rain, fog,wind and sunshine this week. I have just read an article which said that people will say “we didn’t have a summer, it was wet and windy” but it wouldn’t be wet and windy for the full three months of the summer season. It’s all about subtle changes which I have come to appreciate since 1) retiring and 2) living here in France. Retirement has given me the time to choose when I take a walk, which day/s I go shopping, to do things on the spur of the moment and generally just slow down. Moving to France meant everyday there was something new to discover and that included the weather.
Around the 22January the confrères of the Champagne villages gather to thank Saint-Vincent for the past harvest and to place the next one under his protection.
The head of the procession carries the baton of Saint-Vincent, followed by the banner or statue of the patron saint of winegrowers.
This took place in town yesterday, I have promised myself every year I would go to witness this ancient tradition and of course I failed again yesterday! I think it will have to be placed in my diary for 2025.
My combi boiler has not been providing the constant hot water I had come to expect, it has been a gradual thing (I think) but on Monday evening I could not get any hot water at all. I was going to message the plumber but then buried my head in the sand until Tuesday morning when there was no hot water for washing 😱. I messaged and told him the problem but said I would ring him on Tuesday evening. I was assured he would come out on Wednesday, which he did, after checking this, draining that still no hot water which he said was “bizarre”. Upshot is, I need a new boiler! In fact I would rather have a new boiler than cope with problems on a regular basis. He prepared the “devis” I signed and dated it and he will ring and let me know when the boiler is received and he can fit it. I also got him to check out the upstairs loo which had started trickling water from the cistern down into the toilet, this is caused by limescale coating parts of the flushing mechanism. He cleaned one part and I thought it had stopped but no it has just reduced. 😩 there is always something.
I am still waiting for an appointment for my PET scan and on Tuesday I received a letter from the hospital. It was an appointment with the oncologist for Monday 29th January. I rang to book a taxi, it wasn’t one of the usual people who took the call, she practically wanted to know what I had eaten for breakfast that morning! She seemed to have difficulty with my accent and kept asking me for information I had already given. When I put the phone down I did wonder who I had spoken too. Rang the next day to check the taxi was booked.
The cleaner had a weekend break in Alsace and I put her off coming on Thursday as I didn’t have hot water, that meant that the jigsaw has managed to stay out. Is it finished? 🤔 it’s driving me nuts! Funnily the other morning I was sat at the other side of the table and spotted a number of pieces which fit in. Now maybe that’s the way forward, do the jigsaw upside down? I had looked at those pieces time and time again when looking at it right way up and didn’t know where they went 😂😂.
I went to see Maud, in her official capacity as podiatrist, so I feel as if I am walking on air. Then we arranged to go out for lunch on February 11th, it’s my treat. We are going to “The Belvedere” again and so I have been scanning the menu, I think it might be steak with pepper sauce and dauphinois potatoes for me. May change my mind before then though.
Monique left hospital on Tuesday but is still on intravenous antibiotics. She is seeing the oncologist on Monday, her appointment is the same time as mine 🤔.
Let’s look at the music spot for today, both songs are back to the 80’s. The first is a “foot tapper” and the second just had that “something” in the music that “speaks” to me. So number one is “Together in Electric Dreams” by Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder this is back to 1984. The second is “Tempted” by Squeeze released in 1981.
My family are all well, looking forward to brighter days and hopefully seeing me before springtime is finished. 🤞for that 😊. After speaking with the oncologist on Monday, I hope to be planning my trip.
It has been the Assemblée Générale for the association of which the knitting group forms part. It’s a time I normally enjoy due to the champagne and galette at the end 😉, however, I did find it hard going on Friday. I prepared a short piece which thanked everyone for having confidence in me to run the group (when I wasn’t in hospital) and also for their support throughout my treatment. I was given a round of applause which was a bit embarrassing. I enjoyed the champagne (which I maybe should not have had, but the galette (which I normally love) didn’t “hit the spot” this time.
My grandchildren are with “The Photographer” this weekend. I had expected a FaceTime call but nothing yet, perhaps they are having a sleep in this morning.
The little cardigan I am knitting from the the French pattern is proving difficult for me now! I had knit the back and a front got the pattern done perfectly then cast on the second front did so much then left it to concentrate on the jigsaw. Picked it up on Friday evening and I just could not get the pattern correct. Oh my goodness what am I going to do, I really wanted to master this.
As we are due 12c this afternoon it may be a good time to have a little wander around the garden, see if I can remove some of the iris to fill out an empty area and also move some of the violas too. That would be a really good job done, then I can make something enjoyable for lunch and dinner this evening. I am tired of thinking that I would enjoy a certain meal only to find it has little taste and makes me feel 🤢.
Once again, Bar-sur-Aube will be a checkpoint for this historic rallye. Will I get out to see the cars this week? Find out next week.

Four years ago,
I have no idea where to go…
Just going with the flow,
from one country to another,
sometimes it‘s hard to go further.
But life‘s good and beautiful,
despite the things that are messy and hurtful.
The year 2020 took its toll on me
that until now I‘m still finding ways to heal the child in me.
Little by little,
even if it‘s a roller coaster ride,
I just want to honor and thank myself for not giving up on this wonderful journey called life…
So we continue, 2024!
Let‘s make this year unforgettable in the best way possible! 🇱🇺☀️🌕🌍✨
