On Monday the weatherman announced that the air quality was bad, so I stayed home and we played bowling
My car was really dirty and I went through the car wash. The man asked me how old I was, made big eyes mumbled something, smiled and reduced the price, which of course I didn't contest, I felt rather flattered. I also had to go to the pharmacy, but it was closed, so I ended up visiting a Facebook friend who lived in the area and was very happy to see me as she has recently lost her husband and was glad to have somebody talk to. drugstore.
I was in no hurry as they had drawing as activity, and that bores me. So I arrived for the coffee and that was good.
This time, the result wasn't so bad. Everyone was given a leaf and had to paint it, and then the leaves were glued to the tree trunk.
My friend Pauline is in hospital for a check up, lately she had heart problems, I think she will come home on Saturday. That made me think that my doctor had told me to also go to a heart check up, I have no troubles, but I have never been at a cardiologist !!
After lunch I always make my little tour around the park, not the whole, as it is too big, and I noticed that the first bushes bloom.
Our man for everything had cleaned now all the garden furniture and the benches in the park, that looks very nice. Now we wait for warmer weather ! I can sit in the sunshine but warmly dressed.
Our students are still here, I think this is the last week, they are so kind and funny, I think we will miss them. A girl told me that it had been very interesting for her, because now she knows what profession she will not do ! It was very hard for her to see all the people on the 4th floor, who have lost their mind, who have to be fed and who lay in their beds. Some of them are dangerous, fortunately not many and they have to leave the home.
My son called me and told me that Toby my "little" one (14)
wants to change his basket club, because he is now so tall that he can go with older once.
Nothing special happened this week, and I still feel very lazy and without energy. In a few days we will start April ! When we moved to Waterloo in 1975, it snowed and it was difficult to get the furniture in the house which also was ice cold ! Nobody had thought that it would snow in April !
on the street
In most of the small streets in Waterloo, Japanese cherry trees had been planted, and are blooming now, which is beautiful.
Wow, your grandson is so tall!!! I'm glad the weather is warming up a little, at least, and the outdoor furniture is cleaned and ready.

Your grandson is so tall!! The blooms on the trees are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour car washing price was reduced because of your age? Can I move to your suburb?
ReplyDeleteAn interesting and newsy post, and my goodness, Toby must be over 185.
ReplyDeleteYou really do live in a beautiful area and of course, the castle is very special.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that Toby plays sport - it's important for very tall people, so that they learn to coordinate properly.
Oh my! Toby is very tall! (like my Tall Boy who is more than 6ft 3in now)
ReplyDeleteI think all of us in the Northern Hemisphere are very excited for the warmer weather and spring flowers and blooming trees. Enjoy all the daily walks in the beautiful setting of your castle.
Toby is definitely tall - very useful for a basketball player. I hope your weather stays good so you can get outside, I'm sure it must help with how you feel. Enjoy the weekend.
