WEEKEND 

Saturday waking up I thought I stay in bed whole day ! The wind whistled around the building and the rain knocked at the windows. Although my apartment is very silent, there suddenly was a lot of noise.

After a cup of coffee I thought I just will watch some sunny places in the world, when suddenly I realized that my friend Dominique would come after lunch ! I quickly prepared Rick's room for her and checked my fridge for eatable things, fortunately she is an easy uncomplicated girl and I just didn't have to make any special arrangements. 

She arrived at 2.30 pm, and told me that the driving had been awful because of the strong wind and the rain, and she almost cancelled our appointment. But once arrived, we studied all travel agencies which offered River cruises on the Danube. 

Finally we found the ideal one, a wonderful cruise on the river, with everything included from Brussels to Bucarest and return, and on Monday I will see if there are still a cabin available.

We both felt better immediately and I looked on YouTube to see if anyone had filmed this cruise. And then we saw our journey and could already start dreaming about it. Suddenly we didn't see the awful weather outside anymore. 

For supper I had gnocchi with mozzarella cheese, spinach and cherry tomatoes. Dominique had never eaten this Italian dish and liked it very much.  After supper we watched a funny movie and went then to bed. 

Rosie was so pleased about this visit that she sang out loud all night and raced around the apartment distributing her mice. Poor Dominique woke up several times! I didn't hear anything as I had my earplugs. 

On Sunday morning we had agreed that she doesn't have to wait for breakfast for me or the other way around so she slept until she woke up and I did the same and then we met in the living room, both in our bathrobes and I had my coffee. Then we dreamed again about our cruise and chatted until suddenly it was noon, and maybe time to get dressed. Which we did. Outside it was the same weather as the day before and we were happy to stay in the warmth and had lunch in front of the TV, cheese, rice biscuits, grapes and tangerines while watching "Johnny English" and laughing terribly, which was good for us. 

Before heading home, Dominique lay down for half an hour, she gets tired quickly with her Parkinson's. Since she is the ideal guest who doesn't do any work at all and eats what's on the table, I didn't have to clean anything up and wrote this post.
