AWWWW MONDAY - WEEKEND MAY 2

WEEKEND 

Saturday was the last sunny day as Sunday morning I woke up with a grey sky and it had rained. 

We had gathered on the terrace on Saturday and played a game which was really funny, It was called "the exact price" ! Most of the residents had no idea about today's prices, so it got really funny. A car, for example, a VW Golf, cost as much as a Ferrari or a tiny Fiat. We were supposed to guess the average price. Washing machines, refrigerators, TVs, etc., which used to be very expensive in the past, sometimes cost less than half the price today. The women were able to guess these fairly accurately, but it was a disaster for the men. We couldn't guess gas prices because they change every day. It's a real lottery.

I discovered a new hobby and worked on it all morning until I finally figured out how the program worked. And then I was proud of my result!

From a very old album I choose my grandma and me when I was 3 years old ! 


and this is me 80 years ago !

Until 3 pm I worked on these programs to learn what I could do with old pictures. This was the easiest way. You can also change the background or add another person. Time flew by and I had to join the others for an interesting game. From A until Z we had to find a country, a town or village, and a famous person. To find a town starting with Z was quite difficult, finally we had to look it up, none existed. We played in French of course.
 
After our coffee it started to rain, first a bit, but then buckets of water. And just at this time my friend Isabel came to say hello, and when she arrived home she called me that she was wet from head to toe, she had nothing with her to protect her from the rain.

  1. I love the photos of you as a toddler and the guinea pigs and bunnies too. The games sound interesting. I have to say fridges and washing machines now are way MORE expensive now than they used to be in Australia.
