FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

The week started with the repair of our radiator in the living room. It had been two months since I asked to fix it, but the guy who showed up said everything was fine after having checked the heater and confirmed that the radiator was cold. On top of it he was rude too. 

Now I got angry and I wrote an email to our landlord with photos of the thermostat's temperatures and how the guy had left the radiator. Fortunately most of the time it was not very cold.  On Monday then a very friendly young man arrived, checked the radiator from head to toe and finally found what was wrong! One pipe was completely congested and a black liquid squirted out from the pipe when he removed the screw. Dreadful ! It went everywhere ! On the parquet on Rosie's armchair etc.  Two buckets of black water came out! The pipe was completely congested and therefore the radiator did not work. In fact an easy job if you know where to look. The young man was happy that he had found what was wrong apparently it doesn't happen very often. I was happy too and he was so nice that he cleaned up the room and left me with a warm radiator and a clean living room !

It was now 6 weeks that our young hairdresser girl had come, and it was time to cut our hairs again !

Due to the lockdown the hairdressers are still closed and everybody tries to find hairdressers who comes as a friend to your home. Ours only works in people's homes and has no private saloon. Even when there is no lockdown. She came and now I look again normal if ever that is possible, and not like a mop. She cut Mr. G's hedghog hairdo into a nice short cut, and now we could even go out, if only it was allowed, but restaurants and festivals where we could show our new heads are all closed or cancelled.

On Wednesday it was again Lockdown babble meeting day and this time it was here ! Mr. G. didn't feel well, he had problems with his balance and his head was spinning. The best for him was to lay down that's what he did, while we experts discussed how we could change everything to make a better world !

It was so interesting that Nicole fell asleep for a short moment, but it was because she had just finished her chimeo and despite this hard  treatment she insists to attend our babble club, it does her good she says, and we don't care if she falls asleep, we are content that she is with us. 

As I don't like to go into shops to buy a cloth I go shopping virtually in the Internet shops ! At least there I don't have to line up until a place is free, because one customer needs 10 m2 space ! I have always been bad in calculations and I don't want to wear a crown with 10 m  long spikes to assure my health. I found a shop with very special sweaters, cardigans, dresses, etc and I liked two pullovers very much and also a coat for spring.

As the prices were so cheap I jumped in the cold water and ordered two pullovers and the coat. They arrived today and I am really happy ! The size was OK (which you never know) the fabric was a little less thick as I had thought, but that doesn't matter, I keep them for spring. It was the first time that I ordered clothes on Internet and fortunately I was really lucky.

As Mr. G. was still not feeling well I called his kiné who is specialized for balance disturbance and he told me that probably it's due to the last exercises he has done with him and that he should rest. Anyway he hardly can walk and I always fear that he will fall. 

Therefore I had to do the shopping in this awful rainy weather and I bought as much as I could as stock (not toilet paper) so that I don't have to go out again so quickly.

The only one who has no worries and enjoys her lockdown is miss Rosie !
