FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

We started the week with a concert by the Waterloo Choir. They sang very beautiful Christmas carols in French, English, and Russian. It almost put me in the Christmas spirit. In any case, it gave me the courage to do some Christmas shopping. I did that the next day. I was missing a few garlands and a bit of decoration; I couldn't do more that day. My breathlessness slowed me down, and I went back home, it was just coffee time so I spent the rest of the afternoon with my friends.

I finally finished decorating my room and was pleased with the result. Now I was finally done with the preparations. I don't know if it's my illness or my age, but I feel like a snail trying to compete in Formula 1. 



 

A bit of my decoration, Rosie for once sat still !

I still had no Christmas gifts, fortunately I knew what I wanted to buy so I didn't have to run around. Jeanine came with me, she likes to go out a bit and I like her company. She is 10 years older than me, but she's young at heart. She wanted to buy some slippers but couldn't find her size. I found everything I needed. I didn't need to buy anything for Toby, he prefers an envelope (with something inside of course).

When we came home our group was sitting at the tables and drank a glass of Champagne ! One of the nurses wore a Christmas Pajama ! It was a fun afternoon, the homemade cookies were a little hard, but they tasted good!

 See you after Christmas!
