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.

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.
Dear Ingrid, I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful day! The photo of the lady who passed is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe cat photos you are sharing are really beautiful! Thank you so much for your post!
I haven't been to a theatre in a very long time. I did go to see Cats, when it was here back in the 90s and I have seen a couple of comedic versions of Gilbert&Sullivan plays. I htink a play about correct French would only be funny to people who understand French and I don't. English is my only language.
ReplyDeleteThe play sounds fun. Laughter is good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteAwww such a beautiful kitty. Love all that fur and beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed your play. She was a beautiful woman.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Rosie. ♥
Isis is SO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice that you were able to have an enjoyable time at the Theater.
Too sad about this lady...Alzheimer's Disease is such a horrible scurge...I sure hope that someday they might find better help for it, or even a cure.
Isis is such a beauty, but of course with such a name she could be nothing less. Our thoughts go to that lovely lady who's spirit has moved on. May she have a wonderful rebirth. Ah, the theatre, we have not been for years and long for safer times to do so in the capital.
