WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND ?



Helps you to remember what you have done on the weekend of April 9. You never know if you need an alibi ! If you participate please put the little logo on the top of your post and leave your link.

I still don't know what is the difference between "Bio" or "Organic" other than these products almost cost the double of the "normal" food. Bio shops are growing like weeds in Waterloo, and as there was a new one which just had opened I went there to have a look.

Fruits and vegetables looked suspiciously fresh or they should look a little tired without chemical products.



First thing I saw was a deep freezed Bio Pizza with a proud price of 4.69 € (6.79 $) instead of 2.80 € (4.05 $) of the same not "Bio", but the best according to the consumer test magazine.



For your precious bottom you have 4 rolls of Bio toilet paper for 3.35 € (4.85), I wonder how bottoms survived when they were cleaned with old newspapers, because there were no toilet paper.



What really knocked me out was the "Bio (Organic) cat food wet or dry in small cans for nearly 3 € (4.34 $) per can ! When I think that my first cat lived for 20 years with no can food or dry food because it simply didn't exist. I cooked chicken liver for her together with a potatoe or bread or left over from us, that was probably real bio food.



The tip of the top were Bio dolls ! I didn't find any Bio toys for boys so I wonder if there is not some discrimination. I bed this shop will not last for long, or people are really stupid to fall into that bio trap.

In the afternoon I mowed our lawn with an electric lawnmower which at least is very ecological.


On Sunday I woke up with a running nose and feeling not so good I probably had catched a cold with this rollercoaster weather, 0° in the morning and 20°C in the afternoon . I took some medication against flu and cold and stayed



mostly in bed, reading but without the smile on my face, like the woman on the picture !
Fortunately I have a week to get rid of this, before my holidays to France.

I FORGOT WHAT I FORGOT !

The last weeks I am so distracted that I forget everything. I don't know if it has something to do with spring or age ! I forget where I put my glasses, my keys and lately even the remote control of the garage door. Easter is only in two weeks but I am celebrating Easter the whole year. I am not looking for colored or chocolate eggs like the kids, no I look for other things like my mobile phone, which I finally found in a trouser pocket in the laundry. Fortunately you can call yourself and follow the ringing. With glasses it is different especially when you are shortsighted, because you don't see anything.

Usually I always find my things after a while and in quiet strange places. The remote control for example I found in the box of my car door, where I usually put it, but it was hidden under a bottle of water. I prefered to look under the seats and under the carpets, it never came to my mind that it might be at the right place. My little camera is also a disaster, each time I want to take a real nice and funny picture of cat Arthur in his special poses, I don't find it. Even doing logical thinking where I had used it the last time, doesn't help, because I also had forgotten when I used it the last time.

After my shower I used a body cream as usual, but found it a little liquid and it also had another smell. Looking at the label, I realized that I had used the liquid soap instead of my body cream. Result I had to take another shower to get the soap off ! I swear, now I am more than clean !

The worst thing is that I also forgot about what I wanted to write today ! I had a real good (at least in my opinion) subject in my mind but it must be hidden somewhere in a corner of my brain and probably comes back when I just have clicked on "Publish Post".



Apparently it is not a question of age !!
