WEEKEND 

Normally I do my shopping on Friday's not to take the place of people who only have time for shopping on Saturday because it's a day off. But on Friday the air was not good for me and I felt like an old woman which I am but refuse to be.

Shopping done it was time for our game which was very interesting this time. Kim read us old laws in all countries of the world and asked if they are still in use or not ! That was so funny ! There were so unbelievable laws like here in Belgium, every car had to drive behind a horse, led by a man with a bell to keep people from getting scared! Back then, there were probably only three cars on the street.

In France women could not manage their own finances or inherit property without their husband's consent and a few more ....

You can imagine that we had a lot of laughter !     

On Sunday the sun was shining but it was really cold 10°C early morning.  Only reluctantly did I leave my warm bed around 9 a.m. because Rosie had sung me awake at 7 because of her apparently empty stomach. 

Then I devoted myself to my fading beauty, and suddenly it was time for lunch again.  

While cleaning up, I found a pair of shoes that were still in their box and that I had never worn. Probably I had forgotten them during my moves and was glad that I had bought new ones, which I wanted to do ! 

Our game this time was very amusing. I had to start with a sentence and my neighbor had to continue and then her neighbor at the end  we had made a very funny story without any sense ! From eating an apple we ended on a graveyard ! 

Then our two oldies who are always talking about wars in which they never participated or suffered, but if you listen to them you think they were both soldiers. And each day it is the same and then they start to fight. We always laugh because it is too funny. 

They are like two fighting cocks, one as round as a ball and the other as big as a beanpole. I have to admit, though, that when they're not talking about wars, we say three words, and then they start, and we have fun. So far they haven’t noticed that we do it on purpose.

Rosie gets a bit stiff to jump on the sofa !
