 WEEKEND 

Another cold, rainy weekend. I wonder if we'll at least have summer temperatures for Christmas ! So I got my papers in order, tried out my new phone, and the thing spoke ! I wanted to restart it, because Whatsapp had asked me to do so. I pressed the button to shut down, nothing happened. I pushed and pushed, nothing the phone was still on. 

Then appeared a messaged from "Gemini" (never heard of it) which asked me if I have a question. I answered angrily "shut down" and it did !! It even understood English, because Whatsapp is configured in French ! Next time if this Gemini appears again, I will ask him or her to pick up Rosie's mice ! I wonder what it will say then ! Or do, maybe I have a Harry Potter phone. 

In the afternoon we made a Quiz which was really funny and then it was already time for supper.

On Sunday it was cool but at least the sun was shining. In the morning I did my blogging and also tried to discover other strange things on my mobile. Of course it behaved normal. 

In the afternoon I was invited by a friend I had made here, she came each day for her husband who had Parkinson. We had a lot of interests in common and when her husband died, we stayed in contact, and she came each time for Rosie's pedicure ! As I was not sure if it was house nr. 25 or 35, I checked in my contacts. 

To my surprise a text appeared asking me what I wanted. I was so shocked that I hung up. But instead of hanging up, I suddenly heard my girlfriend's voice, even though I hadn't called her, asking me what I wanted. I was so startled that I stammered, "Do you live at number 35?" but she couldn't hear me. I tried to call her back, but the text appeared again so I closed everything in the hope that her phone didn't ring. Meanwhile I saw her in the street making signs and I finally arrived. What an adventure with this phone ! I was afraid that Whatsapp didn't work again, but it did. My son and family were in France and he wanted to call me when they arrived. 

When I entered her house I had to laugh ! It was like ours, another shape but the same style of furniture and ...... cats everywhere in all materials and all shapes, big and tiny.  

 
These are mine 

One shelf was full of them and the others were scattered around the living room, the kitchen, everywhere, just like in our house. When I told her that we had to laugh, it was so strange that we had the same taste. 

We had coffee and a lemon cake together and while we chatted who appeared .... the same tuxie cat like Rosie only a bit rounder. She wanted to go out in the garden.

The time flew by so quickly suddenly it was already 5 pm and I finally went home. I think this was not the first and not the last time we will meet !

  1. Dear Ingrid, I love ❤️ your photos. I wish we could get some rain 🌧 here in Montreal. It is so hot 🔥 🥵 😫 and humid and the air quality is very bad due to the wildfires.
    Lovely to see your post and beautiful photos.

  2. I have an elderly neighbour who has cats all over, four real cats and many many ornaments, pictures and even mugs with cats on them and one shaped like "Garfield" the cartoon cat. I'm glad my phone doesn't talk to me, I don't have a lot of apps on it.

  3. The third photo must be Toby and Arthur.
    I'm glad you met a cat soulmate.
    Samsung now seems to default to simultaneously press and hold the down volume button with the on/off button to turn the phone off or restart it.

  7. Oh my goodness. You definitely are kindred spirits. You'll have to introduce Rosie to her cat and make a foursome of it. That phone sounds most peculiar. I wonder if on checking her address you somehow pressed a dial button? If you can get it to pick up Rosies toys, then I may need to get one to help us do the house work!
