After she had packed out all her gifts, we sat at the nicely laid table and had cheese and rhubarb cake.
Of course we chatted the whole afternoon and suddenly it was 7pm and we all had to go home. Outside it was raining cats and dogs so it had been a very nice afternoon.
On Sunday we all wanted to go to the farmer's feast in the park of Waterloo, but due to the awful windy weather and rain, it had been cancelled. The weather forecast had even announced a storm and the parks and woods in Brussels were closed, but nothing happened besides a not so strong wind.
Sitting in the warmth while outside it rains !
Instead Nicole invited us and Monique brought the rest of the cake we hadn't eaten the day before. The rain was beating against the windows and to make the room more cosy Nicole had put a CD on which faked an open fire. Here she adds a log ! Cat Isis cross eyed into the flames, she had never seen that. When I think that Nicole next year will celebrate her 80 birthday, I think she could make publicity in how to age well, without doing nothing special !
It had been a nice weekend although we had to stay inside and couldn't do anything very special besides chatting of course !
I suspect you do chat very well. Did Isis move closer to the tv to get warm from the fire?
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid weekend! Spent chatting with friends. Mine was a busy one, as I did laundry and packed suitcases for our trip to Virginia Beach, Virginia. We leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow when our house sitters arrive.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely way to spend the weekend when the weather is so miserable.
ReplyDeleteIsis is a complete sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to have fun with friends. Such a shame the festival was cancelled.
ReplyDeleteWow, Nicole does not look like she will be 80 next year. One of the reasons I love winter is because we can all get cosy. Summer isn't made for fires and cuddling.
ReplyDeleteHaha we have same kind of fake fire place here :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing, Nicole does not look like she is almost 80!
