WEEKEND 

On Saturday the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Unfortunately too cold to go out and we had to play our game inside. Now we have a special room for these activities, unfortunately we had to realize that the room was too small when everybody is present, then we would be +/- 20. Then we would be packed in like sardines in a tin. So, we need to find another solution. Furthermore, the room wasn’t soundproofed, and it felt as though we were speaking with an echo.

We had to find phobias and were very much surprised how many there are existing, and who of famous people had them ! Snakes and mice were classical but there were really very strange phobias as you see below. 

On Sunday we had a lot of fog, which cleared up around 11 o'clock, but it remained grey and wet nonetheless. Kim, who was supposed to lead the entertainment activities, wasn't there; no one knew why. However, since his wife is expecting a baby, I assume that’s likely the reason for his sudden absence. We’ll see tomorrow. Therefore we played Bingo, everybody loves this game and it's always fun.

As I forgot to make a picture, AI helped me !

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!
