WHAT DID YOU DO LAST WEEKEND

Helps you to remember what you have done on the weekend of May 21. 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.


This weekend was quiet busy for us, we had the visit of our son with his little family. I hadn't seen Toby, now 6 months old in real, since February and of course he has changed a lot.




When they arrived Toby was hungry and I tried to get used to bottle feeding again, after a pause of 37 years ! Fortunately he is an easy baby and has a very good appetite !

With the bottle it worked well.



a little less with an avocado, he only has started with consistant food since a week.



but he didn't cry, he swallowed what he could and we laughed a lot about his grimaces. He is already a big boy of a little more than 8 kgs (18 lbs) and mesures 72 cm (28 inches) !

After our lunch and his nap, Dad and Granddad tried to put up an ombrella, the soil was so hard because it hadn't rained for quiet a while so that Nonno G used great means !





Finally Toby was comfortable installed and played, I was reading, a neighbor came over who knew my son since he was 2 years old and found that Toby looks a lot like him. The parents meanwhile took the opportunity to do some shopping.



Toby tries out my carnival wig but always wanted to put it in his mouth instead of leaving it on his head.

For supper we had a nice Sushi meal, I had ordered (and forgot to take a picture) and the first day was already over. We had been so lucky with the weather so that we could spent the whole time in the garden.

Sunday morning I had a big surprise when I opened the stores ! I just had time to grap my camera



and take this picture of a fox crossing our garden ! In the 35 years I live here in this house in Waterloo, I had never seen a fox here around ! He was probably looking for some food ! Kim the cat got angry at him and chased him away !



Preparations for the walk around the market

Unfortunately the weather had changed and it was very windy. We did a little walk on the market but came back early. With a baby you have to respect feeding hours, and for that Toby is very ponctual !

We had lunch together and then they returned home to Amsterdam, Mr. G. into his bed he was exhausted, and I watched TV and relaxed !

JUSTICE A QUESTION OF MONEY ???

I think by now, everybody had heard about the IMF boss Mr. Strauss Kahn, DSK for friends.

Honnestly I don't care what happens to this old goat in heat, if he would be treated in an equal way by the American justice. Something reminds me of the Simson case, Money, money, money !

If you are a murderer or a rapist, the American justice makes a big difference between a full or an empty bank account and blow up a huge story of what probably would have never been known by the public if the rapist would have been a less famous person, although I didn't know him til now !

Unfortunately DSK followed his sexual instincts in the States, and not in France where probably, the victim would have gotten the millions of $ (but probably less) to just shut up, and a treatment by a psychologist, and DSK would have continued to be the boss of IMF, because business is business. Amongst us, the Italian president Berlusconi is not better, but apparently besides a few women, Italy doesn't really care.

The European countries are very much annoyed, because now they have to find somebody to replace him, and all that because Mr. DSK had spring feelings and didn't ask if he was allowed to have some.

After having spent 4 awful inhuman nights (said French TV) in a Rikers cell, he was now allowed to leave jail for only $1 million cash bail, a $5 million insurance bond and a house arrest at a New York apartment already rented by his loving wife and daughter, his foot decorated with an electronic monitoring bracelet. One armed guard must be deployed at all times, at Mr Strauss-Kahn's expense ! The forgiving wife was already there to put out the red carpet to welcome her little innocent (of course) DSK. Unfortunately they had to move elsewhere because residents of these luxury appartments refused to accept him in this building. Poor man.

My worries now are, how can he take a bath or shower with this electronic foot decoration ? Is it water proofed or not ? If not he could kill himself the poor guy ! But probably the armed guard watches that he let his foot hanging out of the bath.

Now I am not so sure if exactly the same would have happened if it would have been Mr. Jones, a garbadge man. Apparently justice is not really for the poors or normal people !
And meanwhile nobody talks about the poor victim and her feelings.

How the French press sees the case
