FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

After our Scrabble game these delicious "Merveilleux" (Marvellous) called cakes comforted us about the rainy weather ! Nicole's uncle is a retired baker and was only too happy to show us ladies his talent. He had made 6 merveilleux and one chocolate cake with cherries the day before and they were absolutely delicious.



I have to confess that we ate them all (we were 5) and not one little piece was left !!

Poor cat Arthur needed some litter and I went to the pet shop, I really don't know what happened but suddenly my feet disappeared I fell on my knees and then with the forehead on the floor, not that I heard angels singing but I was a bit KO. Somebody helped me to get up and sat me on a chair.
Besides my knees nothing hurt and I refused the ambulance. I felt good enough to finish my shopping and went quickly to the drugstore to buy a special creme.

In the evening I had difficulties to walk but the next day it was better and thanks to the creme my knees were not blue. I even went to aqua gym. Our trainer was a happy man, he had become Daddy of a little boy after 5 years of waiting ! Of course he got a lot of advices which he probably immediately forgot.

After aquagym parts of my body suddenly hurt and I kept quiet the rest of the day. Today I am feeling nearly normal.

Mr. G badly needed a new haircut but also a new hairdresser. After 30 years I thought it is necessary. Unfortunately Mr.G. hates changes, even if his hairdresser had become an alcoholic and between the haircut had quickly to go outside to drink a bit to keep him in shape. Poor guy. With my hairdresser Mr. G. was very happy because she listened to all his miseries after his surgery and did a real good haircut. And it was even better when the women in his Whist club told him that he now looks much younger !

I am very productive in our painting class, I started a new painting and was surprised how nice the one I had done last week had turned out once dry.



Since Myriam and I took over the class we have 5 members more and it starts to become full. We probably can still accept one or two but not more ! Good for us, we are really happy because at the end of the school year we just had enough to pay our teacher but no extras ! Now we bought a little coffee machine, have enough money for coffee and other extras.



We have accepted one very young looking mentally handicapped woman, because to our surprise she is already 50 ! She was so proud that her pouring came out so well, it was really touching, because painting or drawing is difficult for her. I forgot to take a picture of my new painting so I will see it next week when it is dry.

After class 6 of us went to an Asiatic restaurant "Le Jardin d'Asie" where we took the lunch which was excellent. I took one take away for Mr. G. for supper.

And another week went by !
