AWWWW MONDAY - WEEKEND MARCH 8

 

Of course these little birds are not mine, but they were on holidays in our guestroom. My cats had to see them, but besides looking they didn't move ! Nobody stretched out a paw and the birds didn't seem afraid

 

Linking to AWWW MONDAYS

The global warming was in full action on Saturday ! We had  19 °C (66 F). Of course in the sun it was really hot and we took off our jackets. 

Therefore I was happy that just on this day my son and grandson plus Leia (the dog) came for a visit ! 

First we went to the restaurant where they had the best steaks ! And for the first time this year we could eat outside on the terrace. Of course the restaurant was full ! Then we returned to "my" castle which made dog Leia happy because there she can ran around and catch her ball, the space is enormous.    

Since we had the gastritis epidemic, we had to stay outside or in our rooms. Of course a few were outside and Toby played chess with a retired doctor, and Leia played with the dog of Kim our animator. We had a very nice afternoon and at 5 they drove back to Amsterdam. Leia didn't want to get in the car at all.

 
Here is the nearly whole family together, Toby's mum was missing, she had to work. 

Here am I, the little "Nonna" besides her 14 year old grandson !

When they were gone I thought I will have a new problem, because from far they look like twins, only the hairs are different and fortunately they wore two different colored T- shirts !

On Sunday the weather was the same, but a bit cool to go outside in the morning, but at least it was again a sunny day.  

Because of this gastritis epidemic, we all had to eat in our rooms, and the food was not good at all. We all complained because we had to eat the same stuff as the sick people, but we didn't have anything ! 

Of course, there were no activities either. We were 9  who got together for a walk around our park. Then we sat down in the warm sun and chatted. When it got a bit chilly, we went into the restaurant where we got coffee and cookies. Somehow it was strange to see only 9 people in this huge room.

At half past four we went to our rooms. Somehow it was a strange day!

Supper was a diet again, 2 slices of bread and a slice of ham. Luckily I had cheese and fruits and wasn't hungry ! Tomorrow we should all be healthy and eat normally again! I don't know who had read that in the stars. In any case, I won't eat a diet anymore as long as I'm healthy. It felt like it was with the Covid, because the nurses were wearing masks! Why should that help, washing hands is more important!

  1. Wow, Toby looks like a giant in the last photo. It sounds like you had a great family time, and you didn't complain once about the weather.
