WEEKEND
Saturday morning I was in a "no" mood. I didn't feel anything not to do something or not to do something so I just wanted to do nothing and see nobody.
The weather was nice and warm and I put my beach bed on the terrace, took my new tablet and started to discover more things. I started to feel like on holidays with the beautiful view I had, little Rosie who kept me company and the tablet which was my window to the world.
Then suddenly I felt much better, I thought I am really not that miserable, if only he would be there. But anyway even if he would, he wouldn't sit besides me on the terrace, but behind his computer in his room, because he didn't like to be outside ! Only when our son was little he played with him in the garden, in this time he would go out. He was like Rosie and inside man.
To my surprise I found this photo in my messenger ! I met this Australian girl during my tour around the Eastern countries and I think it was taken in Vienna. She had ended her studies as a nurse and did the tour with her father. She often joined me and now had discovered me on Facebook and read about Rick's death.
She wanted to remind me happy times, so sweet of her. Meanwhile she and her boyfriend had moved in together and they have a puppy ! She still travels a lot and has made her practical training in a very poor African country. Such a nice girl. I was really touched that she had thought of me.
I spent the whole afternoon there until it became cooler and I went inside to watch TV a bit.
Not so good news I got from my son, they returned from their holidays in Italy to Amsterdam and brought a nice souvenir with them ! Both Toby and his Dad are sick, they have the Covid despite the fact that they had it already. So far my DIL has nothing, but she had been very sick with Covid and even after 6 months still tired. Hopefully she will escape.
That's rather sad for me because under these circumstances they can't come and visit me, well, there is nothing to do, we still have to disperse Rick's ashes. This dammit Covid disturbs all plannings !
My doctor has told me that in September I will get the 4th shot !!
On Sunday I wanted to go to the market, but after my coffee I changed my mind and stayed at home, I had a few things to do on my computer and quite a lot of comments to answer. I couldn't stay on the terrace it was too windy. The time went by so quickly that suddenly it was already 5 pm.
When looking for special quotes I found these pictures of the Queen's Jubilee on June 2. I remember that I watched the whole celebration, because it was the only thing which distracted me from the fact that Rick passed away on June 29th and my son was busy to empty the room in the retirement home. Anyway I felt as I was in another world and completely besides myself. But despite the grief this picture made me laugh and I will never forget it, the little prince Louis who behaved like a normal 4 year old besides his stiff grandmother !
This picture still makes me laugh and I am sure I am not the only one.
