FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

On Monday was our National Holiday and usually it rains 98% of the time on this day, and we call it "national shower day." This time it was mixed but more sun then rain and we gathered in the restaurant, which was decorated with Belgian flags, and talked about all the folklore festivals in the different regions. It was quite a lot, and it was quite fun.

 

I suppose that because of our fancy antique air condition, I was sick the next day and felt lousy. Fortunately I had all necessary medication available and spent the day laying on the sofa and watched TV.  

I spent the night with coughing and Miss Rosie checked all two hours if I was still alive sat on my belly and stared in my face. Of course I thought a rock had fallen on my stomach and woke up ! After having washed my nose she meowed for food. Despite her 19 years she has a good appetite only now she has some difficulties to jump. I put her cat tower closer to her basket so that she can with a little jump land on her tower and look out of the window.

I watched our games but didn't participate, I felt too weak but I didn't want to stay in my room either. Anyway the majority of us had red noses and coughed and one was even brought to hospital with a pneumonia. 

Finally I told myself that I am stupid that it lasted now far too long and I called my doctor and asked for a visit, because I had one food in my grave. When she came the next day I was feeling real good. I wasn't sick anymore. A real miracle, but she knows me, that strange things can happen to me. So I had a perfect blood pressure, a good % of oxygen in my blood, and when she checked my bronchia and lungs, everything was fine there, too. It was really unpleasant for me, I was sick for three weeks and the day the doctor came, I was completely healthy. At least she gave me  a prescription for a blood test.

The rest of the week we played a quizz, we had to find out what our forename meant !

I won't tell you what my name means, otherwise people will think I'm conceited !

We ended the week with playing Bingo, which is always very funny

 Now I hope that we will have a dream Weather over the weekend and the week which follows !!

FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

This week wasn't very good for me ! On Monday I woke up with a cold, my throat hurt, my nose ran, and I felt really lousy.

On Wednesday I felt a bit better and put my computer at the wide open window and watched the residents playing Mini Golf for the first time. It had been nicely renovated and everybody seemed keen to play ! Wheelchair or not. And I watched them from my window.

 

I couldn't participate I felt too weak. I slept not very good and on purpose, there was a full moon shining I had never seen such a big one. Unfortunately the photos weren't good. 

Each morning when I look at the sky I see the same bird sitting on the electric wire and look around. 

 

 

 

That's funny because it is always at the same place and always alone. It is crow, there are lots in the park and they make a terrible noise in the morning !

On Thursday it was so nice outside that I decided to join the others, just to watch them Diskus throwing ! 

They all did their best and the disks  

The next day I picked up my new phone, but afterward I was so weak that I put it in a corner. I'll configure it tomorrow. I sat down with the others and watched them play Boccia. A 96 old lady won and was very proud. 

 

Then we had our coffee together and the manager (the lady in the back) also came and sat down with us, saying that she also needed a break. She is very nice and always has an open ear.

 

Being sick and not feeling well because of this cold, I realize how happy I am to have found this nice place where you almost feel on holidays, where the air is good, no cars, only the crows making noise and sometimes two cats who don't agree on something.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

When the weather is nice and warm we are always outside on the terrace of "our" castle. We planted flowers and we learn games we didn't play in our childhood. Our minds and our agility are encouraged.

One of the castle cats think that we are too loud

 

We do Yoga exercises and have our coffee and cake on the grass and we feel like being on holidays 

Our staff too take their lunch break on the picnic tables in the park.
