FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

What a terrible week! The renovation work is happening right above my room, and my head is pounding; it’s impossible to talk on the phone, and the TV is turned up to a maximum volume. The only one who doesn’t seem to be bothered by it is Rosie the cat.

 

They’re tearing out the parquet flooring, and it sounds like a dentist drilling with a high-powered, amplified tool ! That’s probably why I’ve been feeling so unwell, too, there’s so much dust everywhere, even if you can’t actually see it and that is poison for my lungs. Personally, I find myself completely out of breath after just five steps and can't do no physical work at all not even my bed ! Fortunately I still have the strength to push the button to make a photo of our beautiful park in it's autumnal dress !

 

I found a brochure from our castle at the reception, and to my great surprise, it contained this picture of me and Rosie! I don’t even remember this photo being taken!

Despite the renovation works, Kim had decorated the whole Restaurant and also the reception
 

If you arrive you are received by this charming lady ! 

and the bar has its Halloween decoration too

 

 

On Wednesday I woke up because someone was trimming the hedges and bushes with a chainsaw!

I thought to myself: if the "dentist" starts working on the floor above my room, I’m going to jump right out of the window and strangle whoever is making such a racket! And then, when I looked out the window, I suddenly realized the hedge, which had grown halfway up my window was gone! For three years, I’d been complaining that the hedge was too high it hadn't really been a hedge anymore for a long time! The ground-floor rooms were completely hidden from view, and the terraces looked like a jungle.What a difference! For the first time, I could actually see the whole lovely white house, not just the windows!
