FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

For exactly four days we had summer temperatures even a bit too hot because sometimes it was over 30°C

 Even for Rosie it was too hot !
 

Those who had put their summer clothes away, if ever they had taken them out, did a useless job. In fact as we have mostly spring and autumn temperatures the winter clothes remain unused. 

I was still not fully recovered from the walks in the animal park, so I sat on the balcony with my computer and sorted out the pictures. Late afternoon Isabelle came to transfer my covid vaccination stamps into my new Smartphone, unfortunately there was a bug and the page got stuck. We then got an email that they are overloaded with work !! I am sure they don't know themselves how to do it.  It will wait for another day. The vaccin still is not obligatory, like in France when you want to eat in a restaurant you have to show your vaccin certificate. Anyway for the moment I can't travel, because  of Mr. G. 

This time we were only two from our Scrabble club, so I invited my neighbor who is such a nice girl of 84 and as it was too hot we had no energy to scrabble. So we had "Champagne" without alcohol and cake. My balcony is quite big and there is always a little wind so that we didn't feel the heat and spent a nice afternoon. Just before arriving Myriam had visited the apartment which was for sale in my building and it turned out it was on our floor ! We would have been three friends on one floor. Unfortunately the apartment was not big enough and not at all the same as mine (what she thought) and very neglected and dark. On top was an excessive price and I am sure that if the owner doesn't reduce the price the apartment will remain empty for a long time unless he finds a  fool who buys it ! 

Mr. G ran out of waffels he eats tons of them so Myriam and I went visiting him with enough waffels for a whole army. It was warm and sunny and when we arrived we saw a small bus selling icecream and all the vintage ladies and gentlemen were gathered around in their wheelchairs or not and a nurse took the orders ! It was just like a Kindergarden only the toddlers were a bit older. And they were so happy with their ice cream. It was such a warm an familiar atmospere that we all sat in the beautiful garden under the huge trees ate our ice cream and had a lot of fun. Mr. G was  feeling better and even managed to laugh. Myriam wanted to stay but we left because they have their supper very early at 6 pm

A beautiful place to sit outside

To finish the week I had an appointment with our Doctor. She had had  made a blood test with me and wanted to discuss the result.

Of course I had NOTHING, everything was normal (except myself) and the lack of energy is the result of  our move, Mr. G's Parkinson and of course the lockdown ! Even blood pressure was normal. Conclusion I am a healthy sick person !
