AWWWW MONDAY - Weekend Nov 4


After my first basket which had been a bread basket I got a bigger second one, but I preferred my first one only it had shrunk. I had to return to the second. And here is the last one where I spent 21 h per day
 

Undoubtedly thought I was a racing bar because I often woke up briefly because she had jumped on my stomach. But that probably didn't bother me because she's still alive. She also wanted me to get up and give her something to eat, even though she doesn't eat anything during the day anyway.

I'm still sick and it's hard for me to walk. I fell again, for no reason, I turned around and suddenly I was on the ground. I tried with all mean to get up but even my yoga didn't help. I couldn't ask my neighbors because they were too weak and old. I had canceled my telehelp, because I had not needed it for 3 years and now I was lying there wondering what I should do. 

3 friends who came into question were on vacation and one lived too far. Finally I called my always helping Isabel and she was there in 10 minutes. Unfortunately she couldn't get into the building because she only had the keys to my apartment. 

So she rang the bell of all residents but no one answered. While she was wondering what to do, an elder man arrived and opened the door for her. He is very friendly, he lives directly above me and we often met in the garage. The two of them then lifted me up and sat me on the sofa. I thanked them and went straight to bed, it was 7 pm. I took my medication and due to the shock fell asleep immediately. At midnight I finally undressed brushed my teeth and crawled in my bed again. 

Darling Rosie undoubtedly thought I was a race course because I often woke up briefly she had jumped on my stomach. But that probably didn't bother me because she is still alive. She also wanted me to get up and give her something to eat, even though she doesn't eat anything during the day anyway. 

My son instead of Sunday arrived already on Saturday noon and I was really happy to have him with me and not to be alone. He did all my shopping and had brought me a big bag of medication because in the Netherlands they are far cheaper. We chatted a bit and for supper he bought us a pizza, for me one for him 2 (!) which disappeared in no time. I went early to bed I was so tired. He went to a friend. 

On Sunday when I got up at 9, he was already back from "Chez Paul" where they serve real Espresso not what you usually get in all countries if not pointed out twice ! But I had to eat something to take my medication I made breakfast with trembling leg but less then the day before. Then we discussed the paper things and what didn't work on my tablet and PC but that was done quickly. I had already thought that he could return home instead of sitting here, everything I needed he had done for what I was very thankful. He had thought the same so he left before lunch, he was also a bit worried because of the traffic the Belgian school holidays

 


had ended and there was a lot of traffic on the streets.

I will watch TV a bit, because I often fall asleep and I am tired.

MACRO MONDAY - WEEKEND NOVEMBER 4,







more participants here


*****

As so often during the week the weather is nice and as soon as it comes to Saturday it gets, cold, grey and rainy. My friend Bunny and I wanted to go to an exhibition of Aborigines art, but as the wind blew us almost away we stayed home and started to talk about our past and things we had forgotten or we didn't know from each other. Memories from 1961 until now take quite a while until updated ! We had a nice afternoon and it is so funny to notice that for the same event we had completely different memories !

Last Sunday we 3, Nicole, Myriam and I wanted to go to the movie and see the film Victoria and Abdul. We got the cards but no seats and went to see another movie. So this time we came very early, got our entrance cards and also good seats.

I was really very curious to see this film, as I had seen quite a lot of documentaries and photos of the real Victoria and also read several books. So I thought they would bring out things which nobody knew yet, and that only after such a long time can be revealed.

Therefore I was rather disappointed to discover a film which was named a "Drama" but I would call it rather a comical drama, because we had to laugh a lot. It was a film as we call it in French "à l'eau de rose" which means "mushy" a little too romantic. And as pure "coincidence" the film came out just in time talking about Muslim religion and even two phantoms in a burka were there. The wife and mother in law of Abdul.

I have to say that Dame Judy Dench is a wonderful actor and really played her role as if she was the Queen.



Victoria in real




and Judy as Victoria



The real Abdul



And Ali Fazal as Abdul

Honestly I preferred Ali to Abdul and found him very handsome, my friends too.

So instead of living an afternoon full of drama, we had one where we had a lot to laugh. Her son Bertie was not bad either !

One thing is for sure Victoria was a very intelligent and special woman ! Her statues are all over the UK, even in hidden corners !

After the cinema we had a glass together and then went home !
