FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

The FFF started or rather ended in a catastrophe ! I had just finished the whole post and must have touched a misterious key, in short, my whole text had disappeared except the title and the link to FFF !

I really don't know what happened so I just do a little resume of the already little post ! Can't invent an exciting life in a still lasting half lockdown. Everything which is distracting and amusing is still closed. 


Myriam had asked me to switch scrabble turn with me and I was glad that I had bought a Bresilienne cake at Carrefour supermarket, they have the best and I had put it in the freeze, so I had always something to offer and didn't have to go out. 

I had my pedicure coming, as my footnails started to look like Rosie's claws, she is a nice young woman and comes to people's house. The poor girl has a 12 year old boy who has Asperger a sort of Autisme, like the famous Greta who wanted to change the world but didn't succeed, and has now disappeared. Hopefully not with the Coronavirus. 

The poor young woman has a son of 12 who was diagnosed (already !!) with the Asperger syndrom, which is a little similar to the more known Autists. 

And while the pedicure worked on my feet I listened to her story and the difficulties she has everywhere when she askes for some help. 

There is no special school for these children here at least not public once and the poor boy was bullied in his school because he was different then the others. It came to a point that he refused to go to school ! He is very intelligent as these people are often and now she will try another school. Can only wish her luck ! 

As Mr. G. is well taken care of in his Reha clinic I had finally time for my appointments. I also had to go to the dermatologist for a check up, ever since one of my painting class had skin cancer I am watchful ! Everything was OK. Next doctor is for the eyes ! Hanging so often in front of PC and TV must have changed a little my view. 

Besides that we had a water tube broken in the garage, 3 floors under my flat and I only noticed it when I read the paper somebody had put under my door that from 8 to 3 pm we had no water. Apparently they were late because at 8 am I had water and when I took my car at 2.30 pm and they were already gone.

My son will come on Sunday to see his Dad, he has to do a test just for being here not even 24 h because he will return to Amsterdam the same day.


Before collapsing in her lockdown sleep, Rosie meditates about what she could do during one hour when she doesn't sleep ! Fortunately I have her, since Mr. G. is away, I talk to her and she has always the same opinion as me. It's less ridiculous to have a conversation with my cat who even responds,  then talking against a wall.

  1. Greta is a couple of years older now and no longer a child. She was on our screens last week, quite mature. I like her passion to change the world for the better. We comfortable old people do little.

  2. It is good you are getting to all your appointments now and making sure you keep yourself healthy. It is sad when you hear of a child with special needs and how cruel other children can be.

  3. Rosie snoozing all day and night is a good example to follow.

  4. That dessert looks good! I always try to keep something in the freezer in case of unexpected guests. It's good that things are gradually easing for you. Same here. Rosie looks very comfortable. Have a good weekend and enjoy catching up with your son.

  5. That's a good idea to have a dessert ready in the freezer in case of surprises. That's too bad about the little boy with Asperger's. A lot of people here who deal with that home school, but that might not be an option there, or an option for her if she has to work. But a lot of them do better with one-on-one attention tailored to their needs.

    I am thinking of going to a dermatologist to check for skin cancer. My father and grandfather had it. Unfortunately, I got badly sunburned all through my childhood. My primary care doctor doesn't check very well, but we have to go through him to get a referral for a specialist like a dermatologist.

  6. It is so frustrating when everything you've written is lost! Fortunately, you have a sharp memory to recreate your post.
    The best part is that your son will be visiting his father, even if it is only for one day. I'm glad he will have that time with Mr. G.
    Good morning to Miss Rosie!

  8. Oh, that is annoying. Writing a whole post and it then disappearing. Is it not a draft somewhere?

  9. Oh dear, losing a post is most frustrating! Glad you were able to remember enough to do up another! How very sad that the special needs little boy is unable to have some kind of help with your school system. Nice to have a person come right to your house to do that nail service. Glad that your son is able to have a visit with his Dad.
