FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

I had a bad start into the new week ! I had such strong breathing problems just like two years ago when Rick passed away. So I had no other choice then sitting at my computer and creating Christmas cards and other designs. 

But in the afternoon I went with the others and watched them playing Ping Pong, 

It was Jeannie the nearly 100 year old who played against a student (20) and she really played very well, the young man couldn't believe it !

I had to bring my car for a check up to the garage so that they could take it to the technical inspection (that's the French word) so that I could get a certificate that was valid for 2 or 3 years that my car was OK. The garage owner was very friendly and even drove me back. Funny was that he played in our park as a little boy and knew the castle very well.

We won the games between the 6 retirement homes of Waterloo and the neighboring city ! Here I stand with the beautiful silver cup that has now a place of honor in our restaurant.

For a change the alarm announced us fire, but of course there was none, for half a day it went on and off 5 times. They apparently haven't found yet what causes the alerts. My poor ears !

We played table hockey with the means we had which were two broomsticks, two toilet papers rolls and two tennis balls. That was very funny but also difficult. Below you see how the game looks normally

 

and our creative invention ! Fortunately it worked very well with the toilet rolls ! 

The next day we had the second meeting with our female manager. Before it started a few residents and the two animators named me their "Delegate" because I spoke so well (?!) I didn't care I had only two requests, to buy dishes, because a lot of it was broken and to keep our two animators because they were so responsible for the good and warm atmosphere. I also told her that I called her "The ghost" because I never saw her amongst us, unlike our previous manager. She laughed and introduced herself: My name is "Charlotte". The others were happy that she didn't say "my name is Madam Smith. The others complained about the food, but I disagree because everyone likes something different. After a good hour we parted in a happy mood.

 

The first snow this year !
