WEEKEND FUNNIES

With Gattina & Shakira.

Just do a funny post, something which makes us laugh that's the most important.

And of course there also is



here at Me & My Memes


This week I had lunch with a friend. At that stage of my life I realize that some of them just became old and we have not at all the same interests anymore.

When the drinks arrived she was enumerating all the people who had died around her. I thought it was a pity that I didn't own a funeral business.

When the starter arrived she told me that she is getting blind. I was horrified and asked her what desease she had. She said a complicated word, which sounded very intelligent and in latin, but didn't say anything to me. She explained that she would be blind in 25 years. Considering the fact that she is 74 I thought there was still hope that she would see for quiet a while. Next came all the cancers around her.

When the main course arrived, I tried to change the subject with the result that she started to talk about her guts. How lazy they were, and that she had to take pills everyday and sit on the thrown for hours. I thought too bad that she has no cats like my Arthur who loves to keep company to people in this special place.

During the meal I listened to all details, like having too much air and that she is afraid that she would release a fart. I send a prayer to heaven that it wouldn't happen and that people around us wouldn't faint.

When I asked about her daughter who is 34 hoping to hear some good news. She told me that she is fine, but that this and this and this friend of a friend of a friend of her daughter had cancers or accidents.

By the time we had arrived at the end of our meal and had coffee.

She sighed with pleasure, pointed out that the food had been excellent, that it had been so nice to meet me and that now she had to go to her "Health club", where she runs, bikes and lifts heavy things for re building her body. Which honnestly isn't necessary as she looks great.

Please tell me when I start to blog about my guts !

FRIDAY's FAVE 5

more participants at Susanne at Living to tell the Story.

1. Last saturday our son and DIL visited us from Amsterdam and he prepared a barbecue in the evening.



The weather was warm and nice and we were prepared to start to eat when a terrible thunderstorm came up and we had to run inside. Fortunately the meat was grilled !



It was late afternoon and it looked like night

2. The next day it was sunny again so I could ask my son to take a big carpet out of my room



which he did. Here you see a picture of "posh" people with oriental carpets on their terrace.

3. I rearranged my room and put a rag in, now it looks much bigger



of course Sir Arthur has to try it out.

4. Our neighbors are on Holidays in France and Mr. G. takes care of their cat with the nice name "Chou chou", which means something like Darling or Sweatheart.



So each morning when he calls "Chou Chou" my neighbor looks out of the window and shouts back "Yes !" You see there was sunshine in the morning but in the evening was a thunderstorm again and it rained cats and dogs. Mr. G. put his Australian raincoat on his shorts to cross the street, of course followed by Sir Arthur.

5. In Belgium there are only two periods of "Sales". One winter sale which starts on January 2nd and one summer sale starting on July 1st. During the year sales are not allowed. You can imagine the rush on the first days !



I also looked a little around, but didn't find anything not even a little cat figure. I quickly lost my patience when I saw all these people bargain hunting.

THURSDAY THIRTEEN - Summer quotes

I am happy to announce that the warm and sometimes hot summer continues even in Belgium. So here are

13 quotes about summer

1. A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.

2. I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the buses inside in rainbow clouds.

3. Summer is the season when the air pollution is much warmer.

4. Summer is the season when a man thinks he can cook better on an outdoor grill than his wife can on an indoor stove.

6. Do what we can; summer will have its flies.

7. Tears are the summer showers to the soul.

THE MUFFED TARGET

During my holidays in Egypt, I wanted to take some pictures of the camels which were standing there waiting for tourists who wanted to do a little ride. My camera was ready



to shoot and I took pictures of the camels. When I saw them on my computer, I discovered this one representing what they had eaten in an already digested form.

I really wondered how this could happen ! The only explanation is that I had pointed my camera to the ground and had accidently taken a picture of camel poop.

Fortunately I didn't walk in it.
