He was born in April 2002 and arrived at the same time in a shelter near our house when we arrived too. Rick wanted so much a white cat again, as the first Arthur passed away after one year, he had a heart attack. We were standing there when a young man came carrying a carton. Rick looked inside and picked up a white little furball ! And then he declared "we take it" and left me there ! The receptionist called him back and told him that he couldn't do that, the cat had to be checked by a vet, papers to be filled in and then only he could leave. Rick saw only the little white kitten and replied, that we will go immediately to the vet, and wife will fill in the papers, good bye and he left with his treasure.</p><p>I filled in the papers, payed 50 € and promised that we will go to the vet as soon as we will get an appointment. Arthur was healthy, 6 weeks old and we got the visit of a person from the shelter to check if he had a good home. And that he had ! He was Rick's personal cat or rather Rick was Arthur's personal human, and could do with him whatever he wanted.One day Arthur slept peacefully in the kitchen on the table, and never woke up again. It was the 6th March 2020, the year which also changed our whole life. It was also the first time I saw Rick crying.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnITPlWqfKxpdGXmgLfTG_04QWwNU42q7GNEad2oSiZlc4R7mh1X3gRONDuRGNGQdIU7HueY4bRBVLSMozXLqKw_DOzz_MTy9k78EFqVsgHEOoNbljo7xSbLzhUiG6BySvxG8pIYIriOJwNA7RMT83d3NByYpKGhQXpQGSQLWKclBfCMqcgxIXzzrzg578/s640/A_17.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnITPlWqfKxpdGXmgLfTG_04QWwNU42q7GNEad2oSiZlc4R7mh1X3gRONDuRGNGQdIU7HueY4bRBVLSMozXLqKw_DOzz_MTy9k78EFqVsgHEOoNbljo7xSbLzhUiG6BySvxG8pIYIriOJwNA7RMT83d3NByYpKGhQXpQGSQLWKclBfCMqcgxIXzzrzg578/s320/A_17.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">as big a our remote control !<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>

We didn't do anything together, some people had visitors but a lot lay on their beds and watched TV. </p><p>I prepared my papers for the judge tomorrow, but I put everything on my tablet so the judge can see when I have taken the photos. My landlord probably doesn't know that. He had already found somebody who wanted to rent the apartment, and they were ready to sign the contract, when somebody told them that the owner is not allowed to rent the apartment until the affair is settled by the judge ! I am purring like my cat ! It's a pity that I didn't know that before, then I would be sick for a couple of weeks or months ! My doctor fully agrees to give me a certificate.

Like in a boarding school I have now my name ironed in each cloth, even in the socks. That's really practical, it's not sewed it's really glued, anyway it stays put. Nearly at the same time came Betty, the assistant manager and brought me a parcel with some clothes I had ordered and also an USB stick which fits in a computer and a tablet or mobile phone ! </p><p>In the afternoon we played Bingo, a little more complicated then the first time, I think now I got it because I could help my neighbor who always wanted to add the numbers, or mixed up the colors.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqq2RxoH_9btJbzDhE_DMsJ_2d5wF1NL0rvVFEpGlypwk0bwH5ZRwArKwYz3DOwC4nkQmSxS1iUOcDC9UaXSLmHXFqIWTmxGprs2A_kuP3YNsBXfvXX_4WYzyIq0-MYAHoCUbptH7Mwhep0G4M7DoVikDgjEiK8MhCQBiaNBGwL95K4ORw-CddnZL94bvr/s1600/Games%20March%202024%20(3).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqq2RxoH_9btJbzDhE_DMsJ_2d5wF1NL0rvVFEpGlypwk0bwH5ZRwArKwYz3DOwC4nkQmSxS1iUOcDC9UaXSLmHXFqIWTmxGprs2A_kuP3YNsBXfvXX_4WYzyIq0-MYAHoCUbptH7Mwhep0G4M7DoVikDgjEiK8MhCQBiaNBGwL95K4ORw-CddnZL94bvr/w400-h180/Games%20March%202024%20(3).jpg" width="400" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7GW8aWVspM8R9N0EW9XayiD_Lh4rzWe-jGUADCrTTwaW6y_8VE1FXxXRk2rYMKAWZQojVe8nVtDpvBcGYbxgxzLLx4E1G0oUx74jRzwkZzDP0Hm525_U2kBaUXNJRnZ_BMz7R4zs68rNnndh2qJHgnCSyF5ml7OcbCeXgnp_HMNv0LYOLaJ8-aX3dULA/s2000/Games%20March%202024%20(4).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="2000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7GW8aWVspM8R9N0EW9XayiD_Lh4rzWe-jGUADCrTTwaW6y_8VE1FXxXRk2rYMKAWZQojVe8nVtDpvBcGYbxgxzLLx4E1G0oUx74jRzwkZzDP0Hm525_U2kBaUXNJRnZ_BMz7R4zs68rNnndh2qJHgnCSyF5ml7OcbCeXgnp_HMNv0LYOLaJ8-aX3dULA/w400-h180/Games%20March%202024%20(4).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now on Tuesdays when there is mass, the new animator makes games with us who don't go to the mass.

We were quite good and laughed a lot ! As most of them don't hear very well, there were a lot of misunderstandings sometimes really hilarious.

<p> </p><p>1. Thursday is National Pi Day...are you good at math? What was the last
thing you had to calculate? Did you use your head or technology? Last
slice of pie you ate.</p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><i>When it comes to math or something like that, I run away as quickly as I can. I am not at all gifted for what concerns math and even need a calculator to add 1+1. Rick was my calculator when he was alive, he was incredible, he calculated faster then a calculator ! I wonder how I slipped through math at school, can't remember. I probably slept and compensated with good points in German, writing, languages, and history. He was scientific and I'm more literary. So we complemented each other. </i></span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><i> Last week we had a slice of apple pie as desert. Love it.<br /></i></span></p><p></p><p>2. What makes a house a home? </p><p><i>For me it's the furniture, the decoration and the colors. There are homes with expensive furniture and the house looks as cold as a picture from a catalogue ! And there are rooms with all kind of furniture and decoration but which feel homely and cozy ! </i><br /></p><p>3. Your current favorite green thing? </p><p><i>Green is a color I only like in nature, not as decoration or clothes. I have nothing in green in my wardrobe. So actually I like the green grass and the fresh green leaves on the scrubs when I look out of my window. For the moment it's still a bit poor only the grass is real green. </i></p><p><i> </i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><img border="0" data-original-height="1090" data-original-width="1600" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfr9Op2xya9R-jaliAbG5VOHubDvBVVLAQErxAVARKxStbV7GmzRXhpmYlPw6l6Oc7R4Dsev7IFdXZPwWRPAKdA7MLzRD_WOVbeclQV9TTgsg48EDAHrtmrIQW18qfw0QRuZkf4hDJzttSjNWuSDYV-p8espBO2RNukAAvxNjpKW37V7IJsnnDKUvaS8-H/w640-h436/20240313_110322.jpg" width="640" /></i></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">all this will look green in one month (I hope)<br /></p><p>4.
How do you define achievement? How does your personal definition look
similar to, or different than, society's definition? What's something
you think is worth achieving in life? </p><p><i>For me it means something good and difficult that I have achieved, for example all the worries, difficulties, moves etc I have accomplished in the last 4 years. I still wonder how I have managed all this..</i></p><p><i>The most important thing to achieve in life is happiness.</i><br /></p><p>5. What song is a good soundtrack for your life right now? </p><p></p><p>

After 4 months of rain I don't sing anymore ! </i><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">6. Insert your own random thought here. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Despite they grey weather I feel quite good. My female Doctor visited me today to make a blood test and a little check up. I think the worst is over I am feeling good. I didn't fall anymore and I don't have to sit down all 5 minutes.

Has March come in like a lion where you live? If not a lion then what
animal would you use to describe the weather in your area this first
week of March? Does the weather affect your emotions? When did you last
feel 'under the weather'? </p><p><i>Certainly not a lion rather like a goldfish which turns around in its bowl. I live in water !</i><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_OUAIFXnEI4SEQeBsA0LBmqxydpVUgY3-36Og9ncsxPQwsIMV3gKa_dI1m-e83mhZzHtkJJpsAwoXhTFrh9rZYwz8Bjt5Gr-bpgwpRSiWkPh3quu5rCYZBZmQ-UdFGTwwHnqU47-F5QDRuDKFcCirug_Uq08-_uqxpqVmN27UAmP8raf1pgx8pteD1Af/s1200/pngtree-goldfish-clip-art-goldfish-cartoon-clipart-goldfish-fish-picture-image_3425366.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="673" data-original-width="1200" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_OUAIFXnEI4SEQeBsA0LBmqxydpVUgY3-36Og9ncsxPQwsIMV3gKa_dI1m-e83mhZzHtkJJpsAwoXhTFrh9rZYwz8Bjt5Gr-bpgwpRSiWkPh3quu5rCYZBZmQ-UdFGTwwHnqU47-F5QDRuDKFcCirug_Uq08-_uqxpqVmN27UAmP8raf1pgx8pteD1Af/s320/pngtree-goldfish-clip-art-goldfish-cartoon-clipart-goldfish-fish-picture-image_3425366.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i>Of course weather influences my mood. When you have always a grey sky, no sunshine, or at least a bright day, my mood is rather "under water"! But I try to bring some sunshine into my heart, but it is very difficult. I would describe my feelings like a roller coaster, there is no "last time" it goes up and down the whole day ! </i><br /><p></p><p>2. Do you know what your name means?
Does the meaning of your name fit with your personality? Do you like
your name? If you have children did you consider the meaning of their
names before choosing them? </p><p><i>My real name is <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Ingrid and means “the beautiful” and “the beautiful goddess”. Ingrid is a Nordic two-part name that was adopted from Scandinavian into German at the end of the 19th century. The Swedish variant of the name is Inger. I learned something, didn't know that but Google knew ! I have some doubts about being a "beautiful goddess"!</span></i></p><p><i><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">When we choose the name of our son, we payed attention to two things. The first name had to be short and impossible to translate into another language. Therefore we choose Dario, which remains Dario in all languages and is short too, because our name is very long and I thought the poor boy when he has to learn to write his name the first one has to be short !<br /></span></i></p><p>3. It's National Sauce Month...what's your favorite sauce? Last thing you ate that used a sauce? </p><p><i>Here in my "castle" we always have a sauce. Mostly French or Italian, our chef is excellent, yesterday we had <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Piglet confit, </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">leek risotto, </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">sage juice and today </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">cod fillet</span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">, Vincent Sauce, which was delicious but I cannot explain what sauce it was. French cuisine claims that there are five foundational mother sauces from which they form all other sauces. Each mother sauce has a unique liquid, thickening agent and distinct flavorings.<br /></span></i></p><p> </p><p>4. Something you've seen, tasted, done lately that you'd describe as 'awesome sauce'? </p><p><i>There are so many awesome sauces in the French kitchen, it is unbelievable ! I think they had to create the best sauces to hide the bad taste of meat and poultry (sorry not everywhere) but that's what people say ! </i><br /></p><p>5. What kinds of things do you love to collect? <br /></p><p><i>The people who know me will laugh ! Cats of course.

Insert your own random thought here.</p><p><i>Sometimes, when I see my breakfast on the table, I think, one day my holidays are finished and I have to return home and think about shopping, cleaning, filling in and out papers and be alone in my 4 walls. But then when I get up and look out of the window, see the cats waiting for the man who feeds them, and hear the noise of the cleaning machine which cleans the long corridors, the shelf on wheels which the nurse pushes to distribute the medication to those who needs them, and then I feel a relief. I don't have to bother anymore about shopping or cleaning or thinking the only one I have to take care of is little Rosie, she eats like a horse and becomes more and more skinny. But as long as her fur is shining, I am not worried. </i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfimNMcDMb2cSKNYvRs8tMCMBY8f-vE6rpp3pCYnI15OIl-Q2MBUoa-u8PQZYNpy8cnviWrxymjmccLTUkGzUZFZE90s6w8Ijw-JuLKPggUpcv-ZMgNQYWoxTIzLuJkdZ3JPYMnQOykXtLcJeSS0Wppm3B1K2N-Uj42frcDgHwhAXFUT-nWozdGuuq54Ok/s1600/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-02-16%20at%2019.55.36_3010f805.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1403" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfimNMcDMb2cSKNYvRs8tMCMBY8f-vE6rpp3pCYnI15OIl-Q2MBUoa-u8PQZYNpy8cnviWrxymjmccLTUkGzUZFZE90s6w8Ijw-JuLKPggUpcv-ZMgNQYWoxTIzLuJkdZ3JPYMnQOykXtLcJeSS0Wppm3B1K2N-Uj42frcDgHwhAXFUT-nWozdGuuq54Ok/w211-h252/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-02-16%20at%2019.55.36_3010f805.jpg" width="211" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

I am improving in wheelchair pushing because I discovered the brakes. Somebody had pushed a wheelchair in the middle of nowhere and a lady sat in there, not moving at all. She had a pretty face and looked completely normal, but her eyes stared without expression, looking like Rick's eyes in his last week. She didn't speak or move, so I pushed her to the others and they made space so I could put her at the table and then suddenly she said "merci". As she didn't move, I looked for the breaks found them and fixed the wheels. I have to ask what she has. She is always dressed very elegant has shoulder long black hairs, which frames her pretty face. </p><p>On Sunday I was invited by the son of my 100 year old friend, to her birthday, but she did celebrate her 99th which is not bad at all either !

Often translated from English into French, we remembered our youth, although I knew more English songs then French as I still went into the German school, and there were no French songs. I learned them later. We had a nice afternoon with coffee and a birthday cake.<p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy9D9ninrRshZXRVOBRdxyRQodItWxfJmtKo4eRlP1pzYjTHGrtFb-0J5xsNtm8et_FrJk3bvcBjz2B9j1ivA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><p></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">This lady is 96 years old and loves to dance.

And since we all depend on the same source, only the management had special access ! Of course I complained, but unfortunately no one could help me because there was work being done on the street to improve the internet. Then I realized that I couldn't live without the internet! I couldn't read, the books are on my tablet, I couldn't pay bills and really only scrabble and make phone calls. My mobile is already pretty old and I'll probably have to buy a new one !</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">When I came back we started a game with the funny name Tic Tac boum ! Very interesting. One fished a card and there were 3 letters written and we had find words starting with the 3 letters ! I was amazed by the result because actually we were all very good. I had to rake my brain which is certainly a good exercise. Again coffee and cake</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">I wonder that I haven't put on weight, with all I get to eat here, it's the contrary, I lost 2 kgs ! Once a month w</span>e are all weighed. Two people brought a chair into my room, so I had to sit in it and was weighed. I had never experienced anything like that! When I saw the chair I was very suspicious, I didn't know what they wanted to do with me and I was already putting out my spines ! Then I had to laugh ! How posh is that to sit in a chair and then you get your weight result ?</p><div class="tw-target-rmn tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" id="tw-target-rmn-container"><pre class="tw-data-placeholder tw-text-small tw-ta" data-placeholder="" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-rmn"><span class="Y2IQFc"></span></pre></div><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Next day to publish my post I went to my friend Laura and there I could connect to Internet and just publish my post.

It rained and we couldn't go out. Fortunately there were some of us in the restaurant, so we chatted a bit and then I returned to my room, and answered comments on my blog. When you read that in Australia they suffer from heat and I sit here in my rainy Belgium, I am not happy at all. The worst is I couldn't even visit some friends abroad which would be Germany, France and the UK, because there the weather is the same or worse. </p><p style="text-align: left;">After I had my supper, which is mostly cold, cheese, ham or salami, sometimes also scrambled eggs I listen to the News, which are on all channels same always sad things, I finally choose a film a funny one and watch that. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I didn't sleep very well, so I was tired on Sunday. My son called me, he had come back from <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">the Italian Dolomites, where he was with Toby skiing, they had very nice weather but then it started snowing on Friday and they went back to Amsterdam a day earlier, unfortunately the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenner_Pass">Brenner</a> was closed because of all the snow and it took them 20 hours to get home. Usually there are around 7 h He couldn't even stop all Hotels were full. Of course he was exhausted.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vT2PP6tpUlEKkT9R8AxTv5DHzXqxtw0bL7cz__J0hs5Lc7GBHs1Yd_p1mNoOuflUuXPpDF_0_Vhyphenhyphen9dzNdX4wuTfCWKbtNDRYosQ3LyskW_vNbqR3RH4PJqeNgFksWAL8smIS_X-7VH_oMMdS1FmeTxA0oQU9NKkyQOPspp0sOdQ__j_x6t9c2xEa_Zu8/s1600/Alto%20Adige%20Feb%202024%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vT2PP6tpUlEKkT9R8AxTv5DHzXqxtw0bL7cz__J0hs5Lc7GBHs1Yd_p1mNoOuflUuXPpDF_0_Vhyphenhyphen9dzNdX4wuTfCWKbtNDRYosQ3LyskW_vNbqR3RH4PJqeNgFksWAL8smIS_X-7VH_oMMdS1FmeTxA0oQU9NKkyQOPspp0sOdQ__j_x6t9c2xEa_Zu8/w400-h300/Alto%20Adige%20Feb%202024%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"> Toby (grandson)<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Sunday afternoon I thought I would visit Nicole, but in her Residence was a gastro-enteritis epidemic, and guests not allowed !

I tidied up my room, and then I watched TV and read Blogposts. Later in the afternoon I went to the restaurant for a coffee and found some others who had the same idea and then we played UNO again, because we all like this game and for once I won ! A miracle !<p>The next day I finally went to the Charity Shop with the two bags full of pullovers, T-shirts and other things which I would never need here because it is too warm everywhere and it only takes space, which I needed for the "replacements" I bought ! Now I have new feathers ! <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">I also bought games for us when no entertainment is organized so that my roommates don't get bored! I found 5 decks of cards for €5, you can be generous for that price ! In a normal shop you wouldn't even get one game for the same amount. When I came back with the cards they were all very happy and wanted to try out one game, but it was too late.</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">My ancient neighbors had asked me to come one afternoon, which I did and they told me that the owner of my apartment had put a poster in front of the building that it was for rent ! I wonder then when he had done all the renovations which he claims me to pay ! I had told him I just give him back the 2 month rent which were blocked in my bank as guarantee for eventual damages. He had written me miles of emails and</span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"> threatened to take me to court but I didn't give in, I hadn't broken anything, how ? Living alone with a little cat ? I swear I had no elephant living with me who could justify the invented damages. </span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">I wrote this to him, and so far he hasn't contacted me again. My neighbors then told me, the apartment was already rented ! I found this </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">really outrageous. He really takes me for an old stupid woman. I don't move, he will see. </span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">This is the only thing which could bother me, but meanwhile I only laugh. Despite the bad weather I feel good and the afternoons with our games are always very funny and we laugh a lot. </span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">But at 5 pm I return </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">into my room and then eat my supper in peace in front of the TV. </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Sometimes I think, especially in the morning, that I'm just on vacation here and will be going back home soon, and then I remember that I'm home!</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgchdOnNQnWkyvbjyss2nyl7A92rPX9u0SGHp0ql6oVCrM4-8TJXfwaIsc0rVH1g6b-G5y-6yCXK-NfFQGpUNHBIdfJhwGyqaePemnVV2ZI9lfpnimcYunZfwwK_n8HzrNWOiwStk7ASyAtXbOYRbkJScFBIrUPMKy0IjMsHd1OcpQYXXLKQ20bCwd-VU3u/s1600/20240202_091416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgchdOnNQnWkyvbjyss2nyl7A92rPX9u0SGHp0ql6oVCrM4-8TJXfwaIsc0rVH1g6b-G5y-6yCXK-NfFQGpUNHBIdfJhwGyqaePemnVV2ZI9lfpnimcYunZfwwK_n8HzrNWOiwStk7ASyAtXbOYRbkJScFBIrUPMKy0IjMsHd1OcpQYXXLKQ20bCwd-VU3u/w400-h300/20240202_091416.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Rosie's favorite view !<br /> </span></p>

(imaginative thinking) or original thinker (creative)? What makes you
say so? You can try this little quiz <a href="https://psychologia.co/types-of-thinking/">(link here)</a> to help with your answer. </p><p><i>I didn't read the link because I got a warning not to open ! So I answer without. Honestly I seldom think, I guess, I <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">act immediately and think later. </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">So far I've been lucky and haven't fallen flat on my face. But there are different kind of thinker in one person, decisions or thinking about an event or a book or whatever. <br /></span></i></p><p> </p><p>2.
Do you own a crock pot, air fryer, and/or instapot? Do you leave said
small appliance sitting out? How often do you use it/them? Favorite
thing to make in one of these? </p><p><i>I am happy that I am not concerned about these appliances, I don't have one and I don't use one, for the simple reason that I am happily living in a Retirement home, and get everything ready for eating on my table ! </i><br /></p><p>3. What's something you hold a strong opinion on that matters not at all in the grand scheme of things? </p><p><i>Nothing comes into my mind, I think I am rather flexible </i><br /></p><p>4. Describe the view from your window. </p><p>My view is absolutely gorgeous, I can overlook a part of an enormous park belonging to the castle in which I live, <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">it has been converted into a senior residence.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSS3zB-tcDU4lV-P_W6tN-rK-m5Jh6qke99qIdn01IjltyhqACwmQDbt4_OEjovliYgLNW7Qd2SjUozVMcnVVzfZWgdBMV5p7fiPaxnyfmxYG3cZ3bgAYLkrwnv2mS6gm2me3s-vTd1Y4qHn03irc9WtqjnCe-XKWaB0ft48HDWTChyphenhyphenTUwFKyXm9H9LNaM/s4000/20230712_151110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSS3zB-tcDU4lV-P_W6tN-rK-m5Jh6qke99qIdn01IjltyhqACwmQDbt4_OEjovliYgLNW7Qd2SjUozVMcnVVzfZWgdBMV5p7fiPaxnyfmxYG3cZ3bgAYLkrwnv2mS6gm2me3s-vTd1Y4qHn03irc9WtqjnCe-XKWaB0ft48HDWTChyphenhyphenTUwFKyXm9H9LNaM/w640-h480/20230712_151110.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>5. Do you have a favorite brand? Explain.</p><p>I am not at all looking for a brand and therefore have no favorite. I don't care about brands I wear or use what suits me or what I like. For example I choose a dress even on a market or in a second hand shop and if I like it I buy it and realize later that I was "lucky" it was from X brand. I once bought a raincoat on the market which I liked very much, and which reminded me a brand, and when I had a closer look I saw that I had bought a real Burberry coat ! <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">My motto is, it's easy to dress smart and expensive but difficult to dress smart and cheap! And I have no regrets to give it away when I don't like it anymore. <i><br /></i></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7CuBZr1baaisAQ9ZAXKVYVcmR2bEyL1hFnbtQbLyHbWwSFDmJ5__-m8Bq8L6HMrp2fViQaSgXlR7mMeXmGH90aamI5xB4UfqsU1KayhZz7Azqzhk4U0h5JvEiRqo-0q6XaOyM4KGhXwmSsGE-3SPLS5xWUxJho7wpLUKa1XZECZj_6DoSYjVl4JZwy0EA/s283/Burberry.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="178" data-original-width="283" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7CuBZr1baaisAQ9ZAXKVYVcmR2bEyL1hFnbtQbLyHbWwSFDmJ5__-m8Bq8L6HMrp2fViQaSgXlR7mMeXmGH90aamI5xB4UfqsU1KayhZz7Azqzhk4U0h5JvEiRqo-0q6XaOyM4KGhXwmSsGE-3SPLS5xWUxJho7wpLUKa1XZECZj_6DoSYjVl4JZwy0EA/w400-h252/Burberry.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>What a bargain, I paid 20 € instead of 200 € for the same model !

Then I collected the mice which Rosie had distributed all over the place during the night. This beast sleeps during day !

As usual I started with my Blog and phone calls and then came the cleaning woman and we chatted again about her MIL, and the two houses she and her husband should inherit. And finally the cleaning went very quick but I had done my job as advisor.</p><p>Meanwhile I had become <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">counselor, comforter, confessor, and storyteller from my youth, etc. I have to pay attention that my room is still cleaned even when we are speaking. Apparently it has made </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">the rounds that people could talk to me and especially laugh. But actually I only laugh on the outside, inside I don't feel like laughing at all, and I'm often depressed, especially in the mornings. But laughing feels good, despite everything.</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">We had a nice activity program starting with </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">pre-printed drawings for Valentine's Day of course. </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">I really didn't feel like doing that, I hated it aleady at school, and the pens were half dry. So I made a few strokes and then I told Amandine that I would rather look at what the others are doing. She knew some of my paintings and had to laugh. The others more or less filled in the drawings and I started to calm down my Italian friend, who when she is tired claims her mother. I told her that her mum is traveling and she will get a postcard soon etc etc. It worked and she continued.</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">I try to help Amandine more and more, I like it, and we are starting to make a program for Saturdays or Sundays, because there is no activity during the weekend. I don't mind to play games with them, because I never was for playing cards or Monopoli or other things ! </span><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Now at 80 I'm making up for it ! But it's also funny because most people have all the marbles in their heads and make the others laugh. One played piano like a professional, and it turned out that she had been a teacher ! When she played a song of Edith Piaf we sang all together and it was not bad at all.</span></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwdiaIcQD83o4Srm9ruPxk7a9gIKXbrLwy6yjxDFW_qYgBvg2rPU201Jro-k2gDgqpVL-vR59vib6okhsVbdw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">That's how it is, even if the hands of the 100 year old Jeannie are shaking, she still sings very well !<br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhphjH8NPMBsSBuKhP9qQgIjX4o1nAfE23eM19X_l6a_PuxAn7Wno5hev-xH-C9U7n7EaqKlO4T4OO3037duLJ2hxDViuaPUsgKShb1egzl7nodIRfga7KjPJlEwvRx9REjxtbAOsPsqpxl2qINnOvqs5SDlso82FJBa0q92M45bLxHamtCAQlkhge2d_sA/s4000/20240212_152837.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">µ</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhphjH8NPMBsSBuKhP9qQgIjX4o1nAfE23eM19X_l6a_PuxAn7Wno5hev-xH-C9U7n7EaqKlO4T4OO3037duLJ2hxDViuaPUsgKShb1egzl7nodIRfga7KjPJlEwvRx9REjxtbAOsPsqpxl2qINnOvqs5SDlso82FJBa0q92M45bLxHamtCAQlkhge2d_sA/w640-h480/20240212_152837.jpg" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"> filling in the drawings</span><br /></div><div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3TwIIs-e2XAp_GRGRDQmPWJyJIMDAj1VDCXWTGzojCzbkQ31ElhOXOdWtpCae0ghs3Ke3qokUs2mYwMEXCGcWpMviM5kujIf3OyOmNhlZT-ADHWIWMFgHMOewPesguX0oz-Xud7srBJNb1oTwulXqCgccWVr4zqfcHM8Ob3wc5lWnGUjnQpDigM2-7oN/s4000/20240214_154351.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3TwIIs-e2XAp_GRGRDQmPWJyJIMDAj1VDCXWTGzojCzbkQ31ElhOXOdWtpCae0ghs3Ke3qokUs2mYwMEXCGcWpMviM5kujIf3OyOmNhlZT-ADHWIWMFgHMOewPesguX0oz-Xud7srBJNb1oTwulXqCgccWVr4zqfcHM8Ob3wc5lWnGUjnQpDigM2-7oN/w640-h480/20240214_154351.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Jeannie and her son preparing a photo with a frame !</span></div><div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"> </span></div><div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">And so it goes on and on every day at 3 pm after the afternoon nap. </span></div><div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">For the first time I could walk without difficulties, a bit slow but I am not 20 anymore and said hello to</span></div><div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Jesus, who holds his hands over us and besides is the little house in which the "homeless" cats live</span></div><div><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihnouCjzDI8yoPbK25809GFmKi7wE2bVcZAD1P_dhcOnMzGO9B4WIdZDmp9xAIqkyJO4cJ8jCidMS2aOV50Uu5Fl_w7pbJniAvLe8S1m7KD7ZAPV_ufXUBQPW2jqu8Fu2udk_LjbumMyfKjETmJag_saP5a3Chf88rglQBy9-foIh-kqO6-tDUtYU3WN9D/s4000/20240215_150146.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihnouCjzDI8yoPbK25809GFmKi7wE2bVcZAD1P_dhcOnMzGO9B4WIdZDmp9xAIqkyJO4cJ8jCidMS2aOV50Uu5Fl_w7pbJniAvLe8S1m7KD7ZAPV_ufXUBQPW2jqu8Fu2udk_LjbumMyfKjETmJag_saP5a3Chf88rglQBy9-foIh-kqO6-tDUtYU3WN9D/w640-h480/20240215_150146.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Besides the castle was a convent, with nuns, but had been converted to a retirement home.

Now she is used to them and also allows them to pet her. Only the one who dared to vacuum, when she sees her she runs away under the bed or other places. And at beginning she liked her, but since the woman has used sometimes the vacuum cleaner she dislikes her !</p><p>In the afternoon as there are no activities on weekends, I had proposed to scrabble, unfortunately not all had heard it, so we were first only 3 people but then came Jeanie the 100 year old with her son and a new one with her granddaughter. We talked about the life today which is full of interdictions, and that we have the impression that we go back to the past with their Bio and green things, even the singers are still the same they are as old as we are, the Beatles, Elton John, Mick Jagger etc, whom even Jeannie knew. And then we talked about learning languages and suddenly Jeannie said a long poem from Lafontaine, the fox and the crow, (Le corbeau et le renard) then they asked me to say it German but I had long forgotten, but the granddaughter had learned it in Italian, we all admired Jeannie that she could still say this fable at 100 years. She had also learned Greek and Latin, which at that time was quite unusual for a woman, they were kept ignorant future housewives didn't need that (she told us) and then her son told us that she even did parachuting !! She probably has to tell a lot of other stories of her life.</p><p>Before they all arrived, I went two steps outside and the automatic door closed behind me. I turned around and wanted to go back but the door remained closed and I only had on a light pullover and it was 10°C ! I knocked and knocked but nobody heard me. So I went to the main terrace where another door was. But here you had to ring the bell. Of course on Saturdays nobody was at the reception and I rang and rang and rang, without success then I took my shoe off and banged against the glass ! Hopeless, apparently there was nobody. Then I had an idea, I fortunately had my mobile with me so I called and oh surprise somebody answered. Meanwhile I was really cold and upset and when the woman at the door asked me who I were, I said nr 14 ! let me in. Finally somebody came and opened the door. Otherwise I had to walk all the way around the castle and the convent which was quite a long way !! </p><p>Sunday it was grey and cold. I used the opportunity to try to make a the spring cleaning of myself. Washing hairs, cutting nails taking a shower and put creme on my skin. Suddenly it was already time for lunch.</p><p>In the afternoon at 3 pm the sun came out, I jumped in my coat and boots took my mobile to take photos and went out in our park. Others had the same idea, and I was surprised when suddenly they all returned. I continued walking a bit but suddenly it became too cold so I returned too. And as we were a little group, we stayed in our restaurant which is also the game and action room and gathered around a table to chat. Beside the bar was coffee, tea, and orange, apple, and another juice, cookies and fruits. What a service ! We spent a nice afternoon together and the weekend was over. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_0Cu_aNv5U7u5ksKRdUfTNfjaDh0gon5y4yEvSHDXrOFGD9YligHumCofJ6Du1-3j_MbDCceGrIO2pHtsLcbWjkzTX-76HthEZJPzstBY2drZ6TJEE8i14bfoVVL1YzKVnBzd_aXDQPvDkJSFsLqw2-RvHA33ZpnL1JUGEvwygMJ7sDzqqbO7AlQ6C6a/s4000/20240211_160825.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii_0Cu_aNv5U7u5ksKRdUfTNfjaDh0gon5y4yEvSHDXrOFGD9YligHumCofJ6Du1-3j_MbDCceGrIO2pHtsLcbWjkzTX-76HthEZJPzstBY2drZ6TJEE8i14bfoVVL1YzKVnBzd_aXDQPvDkJSFsLqw2-RvHA33ZpnL1JUGEvwygMJ7sDzqqbO7AlQ6C6a/w400-h300/20240211_160825.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">And I had discovered the first flowers of 2024 .....

We played a game with a strange name which I have forgotten of course. When we had finished we helped Amandine (our animation girl) to cut out hearts for the Valentine's Day, and as our castle is quite big we also needed a lot, in all shapes, for garlands or to hang on the lustres. Those who had difficulties to cut out the hearts watched and were amused ! I listened to Valentine's stories which dated 70 or 80 years ago. They all agreed that it was much simpler only couples were concerned and all the decorations etc came over to us from the USA. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFiG9nHglwRt1Ch5ekKw2hL8gNd_hyphenhyphenzCMLY7qe-IFd5q13Ua46EW0Xnn47G8XLqbqOqbzKIraBgi-2yp17e-Xhk8v3etfc-0X9rUZeVLk9K1FmEpF3XtpxjJWD94HnPm9NcqU-0Q78fb4lIw4fjAKD4Id0UTwgtlzfFSX4M9YQKyMy7VZlQNVLtNg-nmUj/s4000/20240203_152024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFiG9nHglwRt1Ch5ekKw2hL8gNd_hyphenhyphenzCMLY7qe-IFd5q13Ua46EW0Xnn47G8XLqbqOqbzKIraBgi-2yp17e-Xhk8v3etfc-0X9rUZeVLk9K1FmEpF3XtpxjJWD94HnPm9NcqU-0Q78fb4lIw4fjAKD4Id0UTwgtlzfFSX4M9YQKyMy7VZlQNVLtNg-nmUj/w400-h300/20240203_152024.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Only the beginning<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjkorHbI3pImTeXGrdVX-3JUhu70QWV7qVUlN03-ZY-DKS4z7FRB20HLeDz8X2_ZXfGO7Ja3Qb2eTgvKW0WKfj6sDsZABfKVaa2O_l4Lbgyck3y3r0q5MDzvb1F5JUTmRYCpaxRG9bA_ZqyjqHioPJQ5URKU7RlhyphenhyphenpzRCLWcS6F2Xz8SNq_Wj8FCs-aHJD/s4000/20240203_152041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjkorHbI3pImTeXGrdVX-3JUhu70QWV7qVUlN03-ZY-DKS4z7FRB20HLeDz8X2_ZXfGO7Ja3Qb2eTgvKW0WKfj6sDsZABfKVaa2O_l4Lbgyck3y3r0q5MDzvb1F5JUTmRYCpaxRG9bA_ZqyjqHioPJQ5URKU7RlhyphenhyphenpzRCLWcS6F2Xz8SNq_Wj8FCs-aHJD/w400-h300/20240203_152041.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHGnClOQBrpWd0TjkN0zlqEZLQHEJpgpPgCJPA6uvYC5mJ2SQzGt9nDgY4VJ0nqjvruTUoXWzabzceq6OhupNiBpTRxzo1keAkJhwbqSFIbNwuRBrLf9r_xynT66P2HGoUR1-b9CvGHwozVbee9av3DGrhurQm7LZAzVPlAH7N3t82F3jGtrN4LluUD4D/s1920/heart-gettyimages-1439973042.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHGnClOQBrpWd0TjkN0zlqEZLQHEJpgpPgCJPA6uvYC5mJ2SQzGt9nDgY4VJ0nqjvruTUoXWzabzceq6OhupNiBpTRxzo1keAkJhwbqSFIbNwuRBrLf9r_xynT66P2HGoUR1-b9CvGHwozVbee9av3DGrhurQm7LZAzVPlAH7N3t82F3jGtrN4LluUD4D/s320/heart-gettyimages-1439973042.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>The next day we played a game which is called "UNO" it is very easy to play, grandson Toby tried to explain it to me when he was 5 and there was nothing to do, I didn't understand. So I thought it would be the same this time with me the youngest at 80 to the oldest at 100. Guess who won, once the eldest and once the youngest. We made a lot of noise, my neighbor always mixed up yellow with blue and another was in war with the numbers. Therefore we laughed so much and were so loud as a group of youngsters in a pub ! If somebody came to visit would have thought that he is in a mad house and not in a retirement home. <br /></p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizZLzGG6vs5xlF8FINILDmvPFYs7ETGOoF493dDm9mCfDVRg3CRv2NF2FNtfPgJCCI-fZTbYYmAosg8DhaqbEXc1gIOWUMA6gbTbZxwo1xVE_IndbVMwrQuxDwwPz2l_DGudS6H6dLDOXubsHDdgEBpNTu5wFPv37daR6DB7shlA343RW1lJA8EyEhHXsb/w640-h480/20240208_152642.jpg" width="640" /></p><p>The lady in red fell and had a blue eye and a blue cheek at both sides, so we asked her if she is already ready for carnival.

But now she told me that she loved it so much here that she is hesitating to go back home, where she is alone, while here she has so much fun.

She was from Rwanda, or rather the parents, because she was born in Belgium. Despite the enormous age difference, we chatted and she was so interested how I lived in the 60/70. She was 25 and loved to travel and see the world. Then I got my lunch and she had to go, she had completely forgotten that she had to work !</p><p>Tuesday is usually my shopping day or visiting friends, as the activity was mass and there were not many people going to the third floor where it took place. One lady told me that she goes just to see who is going and watching them. I often have to laugh !! It rained again cats and dogs and I preferred to stay home.</p><p>My nagging neighbor the Dutch man who rings for a nurse all the time, so that finally they let him wait a bit, always leaves his door open and his TV is so loud, that I can hear it in my room. I just close his door, he doesn't hear me anyway.

As she is 96, I wonder if the mother is still with us. I told her that her mamma was now in a better world, where she has a better life and that she doesn't has to worry.

She was born far too early, in 1894 ! She started as a cooking help in a castle of a Baron, and very quickly became the governess of the whole household. She earned good money and didn't look for a man, she didn't need one.She was very independent. Finally she married my grandpa who was a brave good man and did everything she wanted. <p></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en"><i>She taught me never to be dependent on a man, never to put up with anyone when I was right. She said all you have to do is imagine your boss naked and laugh inside and say what you have to say. Just don't be afraid! I am very grateful that she raised me from being a baby until I had to go to school. The basis of my education was done, and my father declared that I was a hopeless case, because I always did the opposite of what he told me and he was a real macho.My mother was the opposite of me and I learned very early how to handle such manipulators, thanks to my grandma !<br /></i></span></p><p>4. The most visited cities in the world last year <a href="https://www.traveloffpath.com/these-are-the-10-most-visited-cities-in-the-world-right-now/">(according to this site)</a> were-<i>Bangkok, Paris, London, Dubai, and Singapore.</i>
Have you been to any of the cities mentioned? Which would you most like
to see? How do you feel about international travel in general these

Nearly everybody remind in their room, me included, I felt so tired that I fell asleep for 2 h ! Then I made me a very strong coffee (I had taken my coffee machine with me) drank the cup and then went downstairs were a some people were also complaining that they were tired. So we discussed a bit, the son of my 100 year old friend comes every day to participate in our animation program, only Saturday and Sunday we can do what we want, so we did nothing. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I had thought to play scrabble with some people, but then I also was too lazy and we discussed the farmer's strike ! How romantic. At 4 pm everybody disappeared in their rooms to rest for the supper at 6 pm. I also returned toy room and looked for a new header, then I surfed a bit on the net, chatted a bit with the girl who brought me my supper, and then I went to bed and read on my tablet. Rosie found this far too early and started to play and meowed, so I put my earplugs in the ears of course, there is no other place, and continued to look at my pictures. This gave me the blues and I couldn't sleep !</p><p style="text-align: left;">Of course I had no sleeping pills and finally fell asleep, I didn't hear when the girl brought my breakfast and woke up at 9.30 am.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2tCgLw0CLN9mZeuzoGb4ipIzGt7E6EBWWyubbyxCNxg488zf6Nw5VcfwvVaIHZn66eihA0SftM2azRqq0dmQDm6oveX8V6h94VikMQZOt46z45lsLAyF-5MLZbVBmcQ6JTAkJ8hjBLgrO19qdifM2rZO6Cqd5ij6O6mMNLODVG03SAxxSm9jOvLp38Nu2/s1011/9eea57f9e4ee62ae2c45db45a2a35496.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1011" data-original-width="552" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2tCgLw0CLN9mZeuzoGb4ipIzGt7E6EBWWyubbyxCNxg488zf6Nw5VcfwvVaIHZn66eihA0SftM2azRqq0dmQDm6oveX8V6h94VikMQZOt46z45lsLAyF-5MLZbVBmcQ6JTAkJ8hjBLgrO19qdifM2rZO6Cqd5ij6O6mMNLODVG03SAxxSm9jOvLp38Nu2/s320/9eea57f9e4ee62ae2c45db45a2a35496.jpg" width="175" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p>Gattinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.com0
