FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

It had become cooler but it was still grey and humid. I slept long this Monday until 9.30 and was surprised that my breakfast stood on the table !

That's heaven when you just get up and can drink a cup of hot coffee ! In the afternoon we gathered in the restaurant for a game, which was very funny Kim our new "entertainer" played a song and we had to find out who sang and the title of the song !  The French songs I knew but not the singers or the titles, but when it came to English songs, I found them.

That it rained outside we didn't even realize !

We got a Circular letter that from 1 pm until 4 pm we would be without electricity.   First I thought I will take my car and make a tour, but then the weather became so sunny and warm that I also went out making a tour in the park.

 

I finally discovered the grotto with the Madonna that Vandals had badly damaged a couple of years ago. One of the residents had told me that people came here to pray. Now it's rather neglected, but our manager had told us that big renovations will take place this summer. 

I continued my way and met another resident who also walked in the park with her daughter and her 4 year old great grandson.

 

Our very nice girl which entertains us oldies also came along and we sat in the sun and posed for the picture

 

Then it became too cold and we went to the library with nice leather chairs and a lot of books, gathered around the table and played different games, and suddenly  the lights went on ! I could finish my post !

 

The sunshine lasted the whole day, only it was a little cool. As I will have my son and grandson coming this weekend, I wanted to buy some Brussels' wafers, because he likes them. Otherwise I didn't have a long shopping list, it will be the first time they both come and there is no bed for them. But I suppose that they will sleep at Dario's friend, which is not far from here. It was a bit cold for me outside, so I remained with the others in our restaurant and chatted together. The daughter of my 99 year old friend who is in her 60th, went in the same school as another resident 95 years old and they compared what had changed and what had remained. Was funny to listen to their stories. 

Tomorrow it will be warmer, maybe spring will move in !

Rosie doesn't care, cold, rain, winter, summer, she doesn't change her life style ....she sleeps in her basket during the day, and chases her fake mice during the night, and I have to sleep with earplugs !
