WEEKEND 

On Sunday we had an unusual strong storm ! The chairs flew over the lawn, branches broke, and twigs with or without leaves were flying around. 

While we tried to find capitals, countries, continents, cities in alphabetical order, suddenly a policewoman showed up and asked for the responsible. I told her we are all responsible as the office is closed over the weekend and there are only the nurses here.

What had happened branches of one of our trees had fallen on the sidewalk and needed to be removed otherwise nobody could pass. I imagined our men in wheelchairs, or still walking but frail removing the branches ! Sometimes they looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger without muscles, but could hardly hold the basket with biscuits. So we joked with the policewoman who fortunately had a lot of humor !  

Isabel who takes care of me came for a a short visit with the little girl she takes all two weeks over the weekend. Inaia is 11 now, and has still difficulties to read and write. She had been taken away from her parents because they were both alcoholics and drugs addicted and neglected the little girl. What a chance she has to spent weekends with Isabel, who takes her on holidays and is really wonderful with the little girl.

When we started our activity in the afternoon, the branches were gone and the sidewalk was clean. This time gymnastics was on the agenda, but I didn't participate. I still do my yoga exercises in the morning when I get up, and it's too much for me to do gymnastics again in the afternoon. So I watched, took pictures, and tried to make them funny again, but I couldn't find the app! Finally, I managed it, and here are two examples!

They all laughed and wanted to know how I had it done, but they didn't recognize themselves !

It was still very windy and quite chilly outside. And that was the end of the weekend.

WEEKEND

Unfortunately  we had a lousy weather over the weekend ! There was everything on the menu, rain, wind, cold, dark clouds, white clouds, sunshine, thunder etc result, we had to stay inside

Luckily, we enjoyed a fun game and then had a good laugh over coffee time. My friend J had informed me that a new pair of lovers had been formed : my neighbor, who lives next door to me with her husband, has fallen in love with a "young man" of 98, whom we call Mr. Wikipedia because he wants to share his knowledge with everyone, even if it doesn't interest us. He used to be a physics, chemistry, and math teacher, all subjects I hate.

Anyway, my neighbor listened to him with wide eyes, and we noticed that she was wearing makeup for the first time!  J. also reported me that they were 3 sitting at the same table at lunch time, she, her husband and the new love. The husband was annoyed and ranted; the couple, both hard of hearing, sipped their soup and smiled lovingly at each other.

My friend and the others had a great time. The husband quickly disappeared after the meal, while she followed her new love in her wheelchair.

I saw them in the afternoon he showed her something on his tablet which he only can use for showing photos. Suddenly the husband showed up after an hour and looked for his wife and then they argued again, the husband gave up and returned in his room. I hope he will not try to come into mine, which had happened once when he suddenly showed up and declared that he wants to stay with me, because his wife is naughty. I pushed him out of my room and told him that he is in the wrong room. Then I closed my door. This couple is here already a long time, nobody likes them and they are very rude with the staff. 

Sunday it was even colder and we played several games, my group played cards.  Those who weren't in the mood played another game, and those who were quite brain-damaged built towers with wooden blocks. It was a good idea, to play different games and everyone was happy. Our Nightingale wanted to sing again, but we were able to stop her.

Afterwards, I thought that I was meeting so many interesting people and I am never getting bored. One of the people who played cards with us was a cemetery administrator and could tell us incredible anecdotes

WEEKEND 

Normally I do my shopping on Friday's not to take the place of people who only have time for shopping on Saturday because it's a day off. But on Friday the air was not good for me and I felt like an old woman which I am but refuse to be.

Shopping done it was time for our game which was very interesting this time. Kim read us old laws in all countries of the world and asked if they are still in use or not ! That was so funny ! There were so unbelievable laws like here in Belgium, every car had to drive behind a horse, led by a man with a bell to keep people from getting scared! Back then, there were probably only three cars on the street.

In France women could not manage their own finances or inherit property without their husband's consent and a few more ....

You can imagine that we had a lot of laughter !     

On Sunday the sun was shining but it was really cold 10°C early morning.  Only reluctantly did I leave my warm bed around 9 a.m. because Rosie had sung me awake at 7 because of her apparently empty stomach. 

Then I devoted myself to my fading beauty, and suddenly it was time for lunch again.  

While cleaning up, I found a pair of shoes that were still in their box and that I had never worn. Probably I had forgotten them during my moves and was glad that I had bought new ones, which I wanted to do ! 

Our game this time was very amusing. I had to start with a sentence and my neighbor had to continue and then her neighbor at the end  we had made a very funny story without any sense ! From eating an apple we ended on a graveyard ! 

Then our two oldies who are always talking about wars in which they never participated or suffered, but if you listen to them you think they were both soldiers. And each day it is the same and then they start to fight. We always laugh because it is too funny. 

They are like two fighting cocks, one as round as a ball and the other as big as a beanpole. I have to admit, though, that when they're not talking about wars, we say three words, and then they start, and we have fun. So far they haven’t noticed that we do it on purpose.

Rosie gets a bit stiff to jump on the sofa !
