A stroll through a zoo
Linking to AWWW MONDAYS

WEEKEND
On Saturday we could sit outside it was warm with a mixture of sunshine and clouds. We played a Quizz and then Kim our animator asked me which song I liked. I was so surprised that I said "Jailhouse Rock" from Elvis Presley. They all laughed and then it started. He only played songs from the 60th !
Suddenly everybody woke up and tried to dance and then we talked about our youth. Many residents had lived in Brussels, just like me and we asked each other in which Dancing bar we had been, and found out that several of us had been dancing each Saturday in the same ! Maybe we met each other. Some told us that they had to climb out of the window because Daddy hadn't realized yet that his little girl had suddenly become a Teenager and was interested in girls.
We were so loud just as if we were still 20 so that people in the next street thought that there was a party going on, but not in the nursing home. The kitchen staff had to call us, we hadn't realized that it was already so late. And then we thought that all these famous singers who had created a new kind of music were all our age ! For Kim who is only 30 it was very interesting.
Sunday it rained and we had our coffee, and chatted still about our life 60 or 70 years ago ! And were sorry for the youth today.
It's best to not look up the musicians of your youth who you loved and thought were very hot. They have aged, just as you have. I'm glad you had such fun.
ReplyDeleteDear Ingrid, I enjoyed this post and beautiful animal photos. Thank you 😊 so much.
ReplyDeleteIndeed... Elvis is always a good idea. Edith Piaf or especially Jacques Brel. Maybe with "Le 🍬 Bonbon"?
ReplyDeleteA walk through the Zoo... yes, I enjoyed walking with you.
Have a wonderful week.
Love the zoo animals, I have never seen a spotted pig before. I wish I had been the type of teenager who went out dancing, but I was shy and childish, so never learnt to properly dance or how to be comfortable in mixed company.
