It doesn't happen very often that I have a writing blockage and my head is completely empty. I am stuck at home with a flu, a real one and there is nothing to do but taking paracetamol and drink a lot of water. The fever is gone fortunately, but I feel very weak. Mr. G. is now in isolation ward the fever has gone down but by falling out of his bed he has broken one hip ! It was not the first time that he fell out of his bed and I had fixed a barrier so that he couldn't fall out, but of course after a while he had taken it off, pretending that now he wouldn't fall out again !

Unfortunately I didn't listen and insist that he keeps the barrier, and now it's too late ! I don't know yet when he will be operated because there are some check ups to be done. The worst is that I can't go to the hospital because I am sick myself. Fortunately we have lot of good friends and everybody offers his help. For the moment we can't do anything but wait. My son calls everyday the hospital too. The poor guy has also flu hopefully it's only a cold !  That he stayed home he must feel very bad.

AWWW MONDAYS - WEEKEND MARCH 23



I protect myself  against microbes !



Linking to AWWW MONDAYS



Our city had organized a concert with an imitator of Johnny Hallyday, the French (poor) version of Elvis Presley of whom he had been a big fan. He died in December 2017 and a million of Frenchs stood along the Champs Elysees where his coffin was carried to the church St. Madeleine, where the coffin was received by the French president and his wife. Johnny Halliday was only known in French speaking countries. Now he was 74 years old  and had been the idol of my generation.

Therefore the public was all retired people who loved to hear his songs, reminding them their youth. Not me, because I didn't like his French copying of Elvis and preferred to listen to the original !



Anyway the oldies had a lot of fun and were swinging to the music, despite back aches, arthritis etc. Of course I wanted to see that. The only thing the imitator had in commun with the original was the voice, otherwise nothing, he didn't even wear a fancy costume. So everybody was a bit disappointed.
But we spent a nice afternoon and went for a glass together in a nearby Brasserie.

My son and Toby had arrived and we went to a restaurant together. Mr. G.  was ill, he had a big cold and had to stay home. The parents of Toby's little friend  had gone to a Birthday and my son "babysitted".



We had a real nice time together.

The next morning I heard strange noises and Mr. G talking and talking and when I looked into his room he had fallen out of his bed and talked nonsense. He thought he was in a supermarket ! I couldn't lift him up, fortunately our son was here and immediate came to help, but he had all difficulties to put his father into bed, as he couldn't stand. I called the ambulance, and now he is in hospital in intensive care. What a weekend ! And started a cold !
