This week was quite eventful, so I don't need to write about the (still) bad weather. On Monday, we celebrated "St. Chandeleur (Candelmass)" and as in all families, we made crepes, and sometimes a few stick to the ceiling, because you have to throw them up to turn them over. Of course, not in our castle—the ceilings are much too high.
Anyway, Jeanine and Kim (top left) made about 400 crepes. I was impressed that they used 25 eggs. I suggested building a chicken coop next to the cat house. Unfortunately, a little fox lives with the cats. Not ideal for chickens. At least not a single crepe was left over, since the staff happily joined in the feast.
The next day came a young photographer to take pictures of the residents, with or without family. As my son is a professional photographer we have enough pictures from the residents and myself and the family, he was a nice guy and we chatted about photography.
My cleaning lady and I get along great and always have so much to talk about. She's from Rwanda but has lived in Belgium for ages. Naturally, she experiences the most unbelievable things while cleaning.
I had finally put my Christmas decorations in my rather large chest and was surprised that there was still so much space in it. Rachel said, "Yes, definitely. In room 13 lived a lady who kept her coffin in her room. There was plenty of space in there, too."
The idea of my coffin standing against the wall instead of my chest, filled with Santas, baubles, and angels, made us both laugh so hard that two more people joined in! You wouldn't believe the things you hear! I'd never heard of anything like it. I told her that she should tell me other black humor stories !
