WEEKEND

On Saturday it was cloudy but warm, so that was OK. I washed my hair and groomed myself like Rosie does every day, except her claws, while I did my nails too.

Just before I wanted to join the others for a Basket Ball game, I got a phone call from Carrefour (shopping mall) that I had to pick up my parcel. That made me angry, they always had delivered my parcels to my new address and now 8 month later the post made a mistake and had crossed out my new address that was on the parcel and had written the old address on it. I quickly jumped in my car and picked up my parcel, and then I joined the others who were playing basket ball ! 

That was really very funny. Of course even when the basket was close to my nose I never made it to get the ball in ! After the game we had our coffee and cake, and chatted. The new resident told us that she is an alcoholic since her husband died. We still don't know if it was 2 or 3 years or the day before yesterday ! Each time I see her she can't find the keyhole of her door and I open it for her. Two days ago, she went early morning naked to our 101-year-old Gilberte, who kicked her out with humor. She found her too skinny and that's true, she is very skinny ! That's what she told us. Of course we had to laugh but actually it's sad!

On Sunday it was beautiful  weather, blue sky and sunshine, perfect weather for our archery ! That was really very funny! It looked so simple, and we all knew how to hold the bow, but when we tried to shoot it almost always went wrong. One shot the arrow into the window where it got stuck on its plunger. Then one shot herself in the face and no one knew how she did it. How we laughed! And what a miracle, I won I had the most points and I thought I always missed the target !

Afterwards we all got chocolate ice cream or pistachio ice cream. A few visitors also came to watch us and one man said he felt like he was in a kindergarten! But that's how it was!

We had a really nice weekend where no one was bored.

WEEKEND JULY 23

On Saturday I woke up at 7 and thought it's a bit early to get up. I took my Kindle and started to read a bit and suddenly the tablet was on my belly and it was 9 am I must have fallen asleep but was convinced I hadn't.

It was warm and sticky outside and I had my breathing problems which I didn't have had for a long time. I worked a bit on my computer and after lunch while I watched my short crime story I fell asleep again ! Now it was getting warmer and warmer. I took my car and went looking for a new tablet, because mine is a very old Kindle I think I got it in 2014 from my son for my birthday. 

It was nice to drive also for my rather sad mood. I noticed that driving around calms me down and makes me feel better. That's rather strange because most of the women I know once they approach or are over 80 don't want to drive anymore. Apparently as usual I do it the other way around !

My son is in Sardinia and sends me pictures of what they see and do, which makes me happy because it feels a bit as if I am participating too.  Below is a little video of Toby and his Dad who for the first time tried snorkeling  !

On Sunday another heat wave was announced ! And unfortunately the weatherman was right, we melted again ! But this time I didn't want to spent my day in the living room with closed windows and curtains to keep the heat outside as they do in Italy, I called a friend and asked her if she want to come with me for a "walk" around the lake Genval nearby ! She answered that I was crazy walking in this heat ! But when I told her that I let my car "walk" and we sitting inside nice and cool, she immediately agreed ! And we drove about 20 km to the lake and then around and I took a few pictures out of the window. 

Outside meanwhile it was 32°C and nearly nobody outside and the terraces of the restaurants were empty, too hot !

It was really nice to drive around the lake and watch the boats and some people swimming.  When we had made the tour, we drove back home, but not right away, 

 we stopped in the café of the Carrefour market which was air conditioned sat down and had both a refreshing drink. 

Satisfied of our day I drove my friend home and returned home too.
