MACRO MONDAY ODD SHOT AND HOLIDAY REPORT

For Macro Monday and Odd shot scroll down




Today is Fun Monday but I couldn't find out who is the host this week and what he/she wants. Holiday time is counted ! So I continue our daily holiday experiences. I don't talk about the weather because it is so wonderfully boring, each morning I open the window and see a blue sky and feel the warm air.

Yesterday evening we had to return to our pharmacy to buy some stuff against the moskitos because they love us very much. I also bought two boxes of the antibiotics the pharmacist had given me because they were really very good and also the completely natural sirop out of plants had been very efficient. Chantal wanted to buy it too because it is really very cheap. The funniest thing is that you also have to haggle in a pharmacy ! Not for so serious medication as I had bought because the prices are indicated, but for all other things. We listened to a young German father who haggled in his best english for a good price for pampers ! We had our share of fun !

We then wanted to cross the two way boulevard, but this is a very dangerous adventure ! Make your testament, close your eyes and run over. If you are still alive on the other side, you made it ! Nobody stops, nobody even drives a little more slowly they all horn and you fear for your life. Chantal with her crutches couldn't walk that quick but nobody cared. Finally I lost my temper, I took one of the crutches and smashed it on the roof of a car who just cut us the way. The guy didn't even stop ! But the others who followed let us go ! On the way back I asked a policemen to walk us over the street what he did with pleasure, but even at him they horned and flashed with lights !! At least we had done our shopping of little gifts to offer to friends, not to my family who especially had requested not to buy anything !


This picture of the boulevard was taken early morning so there wasn't a lot of traffic

Our cleaning man (there are no cleaning women) has put beautiful red flowers on our beds which was such a nice surprise that I forgot to take a picture. And not only that ! In the beginning I always had to claim for toilet paper because the russian guests steal the rolls too, besides coffee spoons, sugar and napkins, or they must have an extraordinary consumption for a human being, that's why the rolls are probably rationated. To avoid that we had to number the sheets and then share them sisterly into two parts I had asked him to bring us at least one roll per day. Now each time he sees me he runs behind me with 2 or three toilet paper rolls which he hands over to me with a big happy smile. There was a time that young men ran behind me with flowers, today its with toilet paper !

I met a woman yesterday at breakfast and was happy that I was seated because when she smiled at me she had all front teeth 6 in total in GOLD !! I am not quickly shocked but that was really something I had never seen. As we have Sean Connery / James Bond's twin here maybe she is the female version of the guy with the steel teeth ! Next time I see her I will ask her if she would smile in my camera ! I don't know if it is still fashionable in the ex Soviet Union to show its wealth in the mouth ??

and here are my weekly winners











Sitting on our patio we have this view, the garden is real artwork !
