This was a strange week, I had to look on my calendar each day to know which day we were ! The weather didn't help either, because each day when I looked out of the window I saw everything grey and the trees were hidden behind a grey veil. Fog! Every day ! Even the happiest person could become depressed.
I didn't go out at all, this damp, wet weather was not good for the lungs. Luckily we always had a good time in the afternoons, Elinor and Kim were there every day, even on Christmas. On Christmas Eve I wanted to be alone and watched a film with Rosie, i.e. she slept and I watched the film and ate two kiwis and a mango. Then I went to bed and read.

On Christmas Day we played a fun game, "Merry Christmas" was said in 39 languages and we had to find out which country it was! Since I have heard so many languages in my life, I won. On Friday I felt fine and was finally able to go shopping. Even the sun came out ! But the city was completely congested and it took me an hour to get home. Normally it takes 10 minutes and besides the fruits I needed I couldn't walk a bit around to see if there was a still a Christmas gift (for me) to buy !
Once there was a big agitation in the castle because a resident had disappeared. Everyone went looking for him because the poor man was suffering from Alzheimer's and normally couldn't go out. Finally a Sherlock Holmes nurse found the man in front of the station which is very close, where he was waiting for a certain train in shorts and a suitcase. He was brought home and luckily nothing happened to him not even a cold. Apart from that we had two ladies who had fallen down and both had black eyes. They looked as if they came out of a boxing ring. Not the same day, first one and then a few days later the other.
And this was the last FFF this year, see you next year !
There is always excitement at the castle! I'm relieved that the man who 'escaped' was found safely.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
Sounds ike you got caught up in Christmas traffic. I'm glad the poor man was found and rescued. Well done for winning the language game. You are so clever.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad the poor man who was lost was found. Here, retirement homes keep Alzheimer’s patients in a separate place with the doors locked. It’s probably safer for them but not as good mentally. That’s too bad about the heavy traffic. I imagine it will get back to normal after New Year’s Day. Happy 2025!
