FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

A weekly routine had moved in ! Except that I started the week with work outside the house. Two men came put a new lamp with movement detector over the entrance door, and one over the garage.






They also replaced the wooden  border which was completely rotten. Now it looks nice !

We agreed that I am visiting every second day otherwise it is too tiring and I have no time to do anything else. I have to do the laundry, shopping etc.  On my "free" day I went to Myriam and we had a nice Scrabble. Laughing with my friends was real good for me, even if I lost as usual !

Mr. G. has gotten used to his new life and starts to feel better. He is still to weak to start the reeducation only a few movements and massages.



The view outside the window. In spring and summer it must be a very nice view. I even saw picnic  tables and benches.



Twice per day he has to wear this oxygen mask I don't know really why. Anyway something very positive came out of the whole story, he, who smoked like a chimney and since months had tried to stop or at least to reduce, doesn't smoke anymore and does not miss it either ! That's very good !
I only hope that he won't start again at home, then you will read in the Newspaper that a wife killed her husband by throwing lighters and cigarettes at his head !

Soon he will have his birthday and I created a birthday card for him !



Arthur says "Happy Birthday to my beloved servant"

The last time I was there I got into a terrific traffic jam, lost one hour and came home half dead ! I hope it won't happen anymore !

We have Easter holidays here and therefore I have no aqua gym and no painting course. Instead we went to an Asian restaurant which has delicious food and "all you can eat" formula. We were 5 and had really a nice time. I was almost exploding when I came out.



In the evening we watch TV together, one cat on each side.



and then go to bed, Arthur at my feet, Rosie at my head ! Normally Arthur sleeps with Mr. G and Rosie with me, so she was not so keen to share my bed ! But now they are used to.




more participants at Susanne at Living to tell the Story.

  1. As a smoker,Mr G's lungs probably need the additional oxygen. Hopefully, he's done with smoking. May he have a Happy Birthday!

  2. It must be hard for you as well as him. Its good that he has stopped smoking, hopefully for good. Take care on the road. Its a good idea to go every second day. Its good to socialise and have a laugh too. I guess the cats keep you company.

  3. I will keep my fingers crossed that he does not go back to smoking. After tending to my friend, dying of lung cancer, I am now an avid non-smoker. Oh, I too smoked years ago. But quit 20 years ago.
    Enjoy your quiet times because once he is home he will think you are his nurse! So it was with Jack.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  4. It must be hard to be on your own, even though it is temporary. But you seem to be managing ok. A visit every second day is good. He will look forward to your visit, and you look forward to seeing him.

  9. My mom had smoked for 50 years and finally quit. I hope Mr. G can stick with avoiding them when he comes home, and I hope and pray for a good recovery for him.
