I was locked up all week because we had terrible weather. It rained, which made the farmers happy, but not me!
Luckily, we had our games in the afternoon, at least that was fun. The renovations on our floor were finally finished, and the people could move into their new rooms. We have three new residents.
Because I had lost 11 kg, my jeans were way too large around the waist, and I almost lost them! My new girlfriend had to learn to sew, even though she wanted to be an accountant. But her father, a farmer, thought girls should get married and therefore should learn to sew. Behind his back, she managed to go to evening school and got a job in accounting department for pensions of the government. She skillfully made my jeans tighter and was even happy that I asked her! And I was happy that I didn't swim in my Jeans anymore.
We finished the week outside on the terrace in a warm sunshine and played a question and answer game which was very funny. The two newcomers were very shy at the beginning and observed us with big eyes because they probably thought that they were in a Kindergarten ! At the end they opened up and were happy that we have such a familiar atmosphere.
Warm sunshine on the terrace may not help with a broken ankle (mine) or a golfing shoulder (spouse's) but it sure helps with the sense of well being. Enjoy every moment!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope you get some nice weather soon! 11kg, wow, that is a lot!! I *should* lose close to that amount, LOL! Glad one of the new residents could assist your jeans to fit better!
ReplyDeleteNew people joining your community. I hope they settle in well and happily.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had someone there who could help with the jeans! And that you had some fun games during the rainy days.

Off topic, and I don't know if it is new, but your blog profile photo is very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment ! The photo dates from March this year.
DeleteReleased at last. And such fun being had, too. I bet your new residents will have a great time once they know you all and get into the routine. That is a lot of weight loss, I do hope it is all good for the figure kind of loss. Though clearly not good for the wardrobe, it is great you have a seamstress friend to help.
ReplyDeleteStay well, and hugs to Rosie....

Wow you have lost quite a bit of weight. Good that you have someone who could fix your jeans. Perhaps when the weather is a bit better you'll be able to shop for some new ones.
ReplyDeleteGlad those renos are done and things can get back to normal. Being inside because of the weather is hard! We had a week of rain too but finally yesterday the sunshine is returning. Have a great sunny week.
