This morning I finished my house work at home and son was indoors and didn't want a walk outside. I decided to read my detective book in french par Georges Simenon. I had my dictionary at hand because there were some words I was not too sure of.
I sat in the back garden in the shade of the trees because the front garden was too exposed to the heat and I burn quite easily.
The neighbourhood was fairly quiet a lot of people have either gone to work or to the beach (which is quite close to us)so it is very quiet here at the moment. Perfect for reading in peace!

And remember to-

“Avoid Loud and agressive persons , they are vexatious to the spirit ! "

Ô Dieu, notre père,
Nous te remerçions pour les merveilles et la beauté de votre création.

Pardonnez - nous, nous prions, que nous avons tenus pour acquis et que nous avons exploité impitoyablement et egoïstement de tant de manière votre création,
contrairement à votre volonté.

En particulier, nous prions pour les animaux et les oiseaux , qui partagent votre création. Ils sont impuissants à se protéger de la terreur et de l'angoise de l'abattoir et des laboratoires de vivisection, et ceux qui meurent de mort lentes et persistantes juste pour que nous puissions porter leurs fourrures.

Cessons de faire la sourde oreille à leurs cris et apprends- nous à vivre notre vie miséricordieux et avec justice pour que notre amour pour vous se reflète dans toute votre création.
Amen

Aprés- midi J'ai fais une promenade avec mon époux. Nous avons marché vers les champs 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️pour aller à l'église ⛪dans le village proche.
Aussi pour faire des exercises aprés le diner.

Le premier champ 🟩 avait des pommes de terres. Nous avons suivit le chemin et nous sommes arrivé au deuxième champ. Il y avait des vaches qui étaient occupées à manger de l'herbe au centre du champ. 🌳🐄 

Ensuite, on a pris le sentier 🛤 au bord du champ près de la haie.
Nous avons passé l' échalier et nous avons marché le long du chemin de l'église. ⛪
Nous avons poussé la lourde porte en chêne pour entrer dans l'église    🟫

Il n' y avait personne là, alors nous sommes entrés et nous nous sommes assis sur l'un des bancs.
                                                    🛋
Nous nous sommes agenouillés sur nos genoux et nous avons fait une prière. 🙏
il y avait des bougies🕯🕯alors nous avons allumés une bougie et nous avons priés à Dieu pour notre famille. 🙏

Nous sommes resté silencieux quelques instants. Aprés,
nous avons quittés nos places et nous avons fait le signe de la
croix + avant de quitter l'église.

Aprés nous avons marché jusqu'au prochain champ et nous avons fait un pique-nique sur le banc publique🛋🌳

C'était un aprés- midi agréable à la compagne. Le soleil🌞 brillait et il y a
une bonne brise fraîche. 🌬

        verse of the day 

"Behold , God is my Salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my Salvation"! 

From the Bible

Yesterday I finished reading my book in french from the  "toi et moi"  series. I am hoping to get some more from the same series, as they were quite easy, and not too long! 

Now I am reading a french detective story in french,  I am using my dictionary whenever I come across a word  that I am not familiar with. Hopefully will get through this one soon!

Today I am in the back garden under the evergreen trees. It is nice and cool in the shade reading my book.

Isn't it amazing I can now read a whole book in French and understand it all ! 

Thanks to the OU!

France is a country
I love to explore
With its mountains and valleys
And coasts I adore

The countryside beckons
As a place of retreat
Long walks in the forests
And a stay in the gite

Orchards and vineyards
With rows of ripe fruit
There's a wine tasting visit
If you follow the route!

Fields of fresh lavender
That smell so divine
And Walking through meadows
All bathed in sunshine


The mountains so high
Some have snow on them too
The air's so refreshing
And there's a wonderful view

In Paris the Louvre
Famous paintings to see
And Notre dame cathedral
On the Île- de -la -cité.

If the son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed!

1 John 8. 36
From the Bible

📖

                       🌍

Many people in our society deny the threat of Global warming. 

They are in fact in denial because they do not want to face the truth of the reality.

In a short time I am sure there will be many more disasters all over the world. The threat for survival is probably just as much dangerous as Covid 19.

The greed of the big corporations is limitless in using the resources of this  already exhausted earth ! 

In a little while God wil destroy those who are ruining the earth!

(Thats in the bible!)

The book of Revelation in the Bible talks about the waters turning bitter, the sun scorching people and plagues now does this sound familiar.?

God knows the righteous man and will save him but the evil doer shall perish.

Why not Making life better for people in the inner cities - post Covid19

There has been some significant progress made in cities with the introduction of pedestrianisation in parts of the city, but it doesn't go far enough there needs to be much more pedestrianised areas, also in terms of  ⛔reducing traffic and facilitating good social distancing. 🚧 🚶‍♀️🚵‍♂️  

By having Pedestrianisation in towns, it will enable the residents to move around and socially distance more easily from shop to shop, without being hindered by the sheer volume of people that are crowded together like cattle all in one area because of the volume of  traffic taking up all space along the roads. 🏢🏪🏠🌲

The closing up of certain streets to traffic, and the redirection of ⛔traffic flow together with out of town parking, will help with social distancing in the town centre areas, and make a very great difference to the residents of inner city streets, as well as shoppers in the town centres.🏙

Residents can have a more 🏡peaceful existence, without the constant noise of traffic hurtling past their windows, non stop for hours on end. 🚘🚙🚚🚛🚑This will also be more beneficial for their mental health. 🙂

Another bonus is not having to breathe in the poisonous fumes from the petrol emissions,⛽  which causes so many health problems in the population like asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema and other respiratory illnesses.🗣🌬    🤮  

Having less cars 🚗🚙around the town centre areas would greatly improve the health of its citizens. It would also create a more pleasant and safer shopping experience, with more space for social distancing, for those visiting the city. The town centre should  be a more attractive area, which could be a more desirable place to live and buy a property🌲🏪🏠🏡


Electric cars 🚙are becoming increasingly popular. They have less dangerous emissions and are less harmful to the health of the residents.
Unfortunately, at the moment they are still pricey £ and out of reach for most ordinary people.  There should be more  discount schemes to encourage people to choose to buy electric. Who can afford it!

An updated public transport 🚌🚍system will be essential, as this will encourage people to drive less. Buses need to be cleaned 🧽thoroughly on a regular basis and kept in good condition,  Hand sanitizers🧴 provided and spacing made for social distancing.  Public transport is particularly important for people living out of town, and for those living in the outlying villages to have access to shopping centres, for visits for days out, tourism, cinema, sports centres and restaurants 🚎 fares should be kept low and concessions for pensioners and those on low incomes.

It is better for the economy £ to have safer and healthier environments to shop in. The shopping areas need to be spacious areas, good for social distancing, with benches (spaced appart) to sit on, and green 🌲🌳areas with trees. 🌄This is better for the health, as the  trees will absorb  CO2 ,  good also for the well being of the towns residents.

There are some encouraging signs that things are changing for the better. However there are still much more improvements to be made within inner city areas,  to make more space for social distancing so that any infectious diseases are less likely to spread and ensure the future health of its citizens post covid19.✅

Hier il a plu toute la journée. 🌧🌫
Quel été ! Je lis mon 📚 livre un roman policier.
Je suis assise sur le porche, 🪑🚪🌲à l'abri de la pluie avec la porte d'entrée ouverte.
Je lis mon livre et de  temps en temps je chercher les mots dans mon dictionnaire.📖
Mon fils est allé se promener avec son père 🚶‍♂️👨‍🦯 au parc pour regarder un match de football local. ⚽️ 🥅 comment peuvent-ils jouer au football par ce temps?

Je n'aime pas sortir sous la pluie battante. Je préfère rester à la maison 🏡
parce que le temps est mauvais. Je regarde les arbres  et les fleurs dans le jardin, 🌻🌷🌼🌺🌾et Je lis mon livre en paix. Quand mes gaçons rentreront chez eux, ils mangeront un bon repas chaud. 🍜🥖 C'est un Spaghetti bolognaise !

🌻🌷🌼🌺🌾🌹

La Pluie  🌧☂️🌫

Mouille, mouille, Paradis!
Tout est à l'abri;
N'y a que mon petit frère
Qui est sous la gouttière
A ramasser des p'tits poissons
Pour sa collation.
La gouttière a défoncé
Mon p'tit frère s'en est allé
Tout mouillé

The prayer 🙏of the fellowship of life.🐇

Oh God our father, 🌅we thank you for the wonder and beauty of your creation.🌲

Forgive us, we pray,🙏 that we have taken it all for granted and have ruthlessly and selfishly exploited it in so many ways contrary to thy will  🐖🐑

In particular we pray for the animals and birds,🕊🦅sharers in your creation, that are powerless to protect themselves from the terror and anguish of ⚡slaughterhouse and vivisection 🐇 laboratory, and those that die cruel and often lingering deaths so that we may wear their skins. 🦊🐆

Let us cease to turn deaf ears to their cries and teach us how to live our lives mercifully and justly so that our ❤ love for you will be mirrored by our love for  All Thy creation.
