more participants at Susanne at Living to tell the Story.
1. Since we came back from Amsterdam where we had celebrated Christmas, it had started to snow again and for 3 days we were litterally prisonners of our house !
2.
On TV they only talked about the snow, the chaos at the airport, people without electricity and of course car accidents just like in an action movie where it is normal that cars fly through the air and turn around. Car insurances suffer nightmares !
3. Dominique was able to get her car out of the snow and did the shopping for us and my other neighbor. She delivered everything and we took the opportunity to have a cup of tea together and I showed her our Christmas pictures.
4. Vivi my 72 years old other neighbor had needed cigarettes, which I have to keep, because officially she has stopped smoking because her 92 year old boyfriend doesn't allow that she smokes. So she came at 9 am to pick up her cigarettes and we had a cup of coffee together and chatted about Christmas etc until finally she left us at 11 and now we know everything what is going on in our street ! Fortunately nobody died, but the neighbor's son has finally found a girlfriend and left his parents after 29 years of commun life. I hope for them that he won't come back.
5. The rest of my time I spent with snow shuffling, sorting out my pictures, answering Christmas and New Year wishes and watched some crime stories on TV and of course with blogging.
To all of you !

ReplyDeleteI don;t know how much fun it was for him this year catching a cold from the airplane had him down and the -16C weather and now the trudge through all this mess back home
Sometimes the best holiday is the one you spend at home.lol
I think your weather situation has been even worse than ours! I curse all the snow and the cold, cold temperatures. Though tonight it's unusually mild to be New Years Eve - only a couple of minus degrees.
ReplyDeleteOps, I suddenly noticed that I had not sent this comment - it has been on my screen for many hours! I'm beginning to be demented... hi hi....
☆☆☆ HAPPY NEW YEAR CHEERS ☆☆☆
You've certainly been able to keep busy even though you have been housebound because of the snow storms. I'm glad your neighbor was able to get groceries for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Hi hi!!! Tu pourrais écrire un bon scénario sur la vie de ton quartier!!! Je suis sûr qu'on pourrait en faire un film à succès!
ReplyDeleteLe fils de tes voisins a enfin pris son envol!!!? Souhaitons que ce soit le bon!
Bise et bon 1er de l'an!
Your new year was MUCH more exciting than mine! I slept like Toby or Tyler -- all the way through!
