WEEKEND 

Saturday I waited for an interruption of the rain, which didn't come. I was still worried about how to organize my move into the retirement home, which I call "MY CASTLE" because it had been one years ago. And then everything was solved from alone ! My landlord had sent me an email to announce that after 3years he has the right to increase the rent. Not much because there is an index. I thought that is a sign to make my decision and give my notice. Then I have 3 months to empty my apartment. I had hoped that my son would at least come and see me because  I needed a bit of support, finally it's a big change in my life to go into a retirement home. But men never understand (only one exception and that was Rick) Oh well, he is good in practical things and I am sure he will help me with the move,  but he doesn't even get the idea to comfort his old mother. 

It's not just him, most of the sons, if I listen to  the widows around me are like him.  Daughters are different. I have to take him as he is, he probably hasn't changed at all, but I have ! He forgets that I don't live 10 years anymore and that time is pretty short. Except that a miracle happens and I turn 100! Poor guy, I think he still thinks I'm 40 or even 20! Mothers have no right to get old, they have to stay forever young. And men hate difficulties and problems.

Luckily I have Isabel who comforts me and always find a solution! So from November on, if everything goes well, I'll move. A room is already ready, even if it's not what I want, it's only temporarily.

Nearly the whole afternoon I spent with looking for an example to give my notice, I had never done that. But as always Google finds the answers !

 I had placed an ad for Rick's office. I also promptly got an offer that was so stupid that I immediately noticed that it was a scam. He wanted to have the money brought to me by the postman who would also take the furniture! I replied that he might be able to take a bedside table and that the post office doesn't have trucks, please contact another victim! That didn't stop him from asking again and I suggested he use a Toyota Aygo as the truck!

The rest of the day I spent on the phone !!

Sunday was dedicated to my beauty, or what it's left of it, I washed my hair read some posts and then it was already noon. In the afternoon a certain Janine came, I didn't know her at all, but apparently she did, because she reads my blog ! It turned out that she lives just on the other side of the street, what a coincidence. It was very nice to meet her, finally it was a vintage girl who also spoke English, and we didn't run out of subjects to discuss. She was also interested in Expositions, theater and photography. Just as I. Now in August she goes to London and I don't know yet what I do, if I go to Eastbourne or not; it all depends what the lung doctors says. 

The weather there is just like here maybe in the second half of August it will change. Hopefully !
