WEEKEND 

On Saturday I went to the theater here in Waterloo with a friend. 

 

Town hall and theater 

There's a cultural program for seniors 60 and older at a very reasonable price of €7! And since there are quite a few oldies in Waterloo, there are four performances scheduled over two days. The first performance was at 2 p.m. and the second at 5 p.m. We got a very nice seat at 2 p.m. The play was called "La Grammaire" and was set in a family who wanted to speak French correctly and were constantly discussing the grammatical errors. It was very funny, and the whole audience laughed. The actors stay in Waterloo for a while and perform it for the "regular" audience. We all left laughing, and everyone said it was a really beautiful play.

I returned home right at coffee time and stayed until we all went to our rooms. I was very happy with my day, it really cheered me up. 

Sunday was my "beauty" day, and the chiropodist arrived just in time. The poor girl had her tonsils taken out, which is very painful for an adult. 

Now my toes are good cared for again. In the afternoon, we did a rather difficult quiz because the questions were quite abstract. For example, how can electricity, water, and air be transported together? After a long while, the answer finally : a "tube." Our heads were spinning. 

Over coffee, I learned what had become of the woman who was still very beautiful and had a Madonna-like face. 

Unfortunately she has her beautiful eyes closed which starred at you without seeing you. She reminded me of Rick in his last days. 

She never spoke, but whenever she saw me, she tried to smile. She had the final stages of Alzheimer's and had (finally) died. She passed away peacefully and hadn't suffered. That's the most important thing. In her life she had been a famous model.
