WEEKEND

Saturday morning was desinfection day, which means that Maria cleaned the apartment and I Rick's computer and even managed to connect my computer to his ! I was very proud ! Slowly, slowly I learn and manage. Next thing is to connect the printer to my computer ! 

Maria had cleaned the windows so well that I have to pay attention that I don't walk through !



In the afternoon I visited Rick who again was not in his best mood. I tried to distract him and told him funny stories, but he couldn't concentrate interrupted me and started something completey different and then forgot again. It was very stressing to find out what he wanted to say. The nurses complained politely that he is very difficult and gets quickly aggressive. Probably they need to give him a stronger dose of his medication. He also was again very tired. I returned home rather down. 

I had no energy anymore not even for my photos I watched a funny movie to cheer me up, but it didn't really work. Rosie probably wanted to comfort me and I found a gift in my slipper. 

On Sunday I woke up at 8 am found it too early so I read a bit on my tablet and suddenly it was 10 am !  That didn't matter after all I am retired and alone and as Rosie slept too, we got up together. 

I had a lot of plans in my head, I wanted to see an exhibition, a flea market and ended up in front of my computer and wrote, for me it's the best therapy. I still have some adventures of my youth in my sleeve and I wrote a draft and suddenly it was dark and the refugees of Ukraine appeared on the TV screen and other horrible pictures. I didn't watch anymore I just listened a bit. It's useless until somebody has the guts to kill Putine ! Why does the Corona Virus take care of him ?

SUNDAY SELECTIONS, SUNDAY SNAPSHOT





When I was in the South of France, my friend took me to her cousin who had two enormous turtles in his garden.  As they didn't like each other they both had a very spacious enclosure separated by a wooden fence. 

I had never seen such big turtles and their owners hadn't expected that they became as big as a leather pouffe I had seen in Morocco. They had taken 30 years ago from Northern Africa,  two little turtles (which today is strictly forbidden) which became big and bigger. Fortunately they had enough space to keep them almost like pets ! 

They understand their names and come "running" especially if you have some salad leaves. In winter they take them in (I wonder how ) and put them besides their open fire. There they start their winter sleep and guests who come think that there are two enormous strange round rocks sitting on each side of the open fire. At least there it is warm. In spring they go in their enclosure again where each of the turtles have a "little" house where they can go if it is bad weather ! I was very impressed !
