WEEKEND
Easter Saturday, I had to get up at 6.30 am because my cleaning lady arrives at 7.30 and I have to open the door for her. The days when I could sleep until noon without any problem, I often wake up at 6 and when I have to get up it's very hard ! That's psychological.
Honestly I had completely forgotten that it was Easter and was surprised when Maria came with a bag with two chocolate bunnies, eggs and a card, real cute !
Finally she was able to prepare the terrace for the summer and now at least I have chairs so that my visitors can sit down. The weather is very nice at the moment and also warm around 20°C.In the afternoon I visited Rick, he was laying on his bed and I immediately noticed that he was not really feeling well. But he appreciated the chocolate Easter Bunny, the shorts, and the game with the wooden cubes. I hung the picture of Rosie and me at the closet door so it was just opposite his bed and he could watch us.
As he was tired I left and let him sleep, I thought I will bring him the chocolate pudding he asked for the next day.
It was so nice that I didn't want to return home right away and I went to the Waterloo Lion to count tourists. To my surprise there was a show going on and I parked my car to watch and take pictures.
I chatted with the tourists and explained a bit the history, there were Germans and English people and of course a Japanese group. Suddenly the canons started to shoot and made a terrible noise the dogs became hysterical, the kids cried and the elderly certainly took out their hearing aid! I wanted to have a drink there but with this noise I returned home into my silent apartment.
On Sunday I got up as usual, prepared my posts and answered the Whatsapp messages which arrived en masse ! Then I went to Adeline my neighbor still in my bathrobe, to wish her happy Easter and we had to laugh because she wasn't dressed either. We had a coffee together and then she had to go to one of her sons and meet his family and kids.
I had thought to make a tour on the flea market, before I go to Rick to bring him his drinks and the pudding. It was hard to find a parking place, even with my mini car and suddenly I didn't feel like it anymore. But I started to walk direction market, when I saw a friend I hadn't seen since ages, we used to play scrabble together and we had been in the same painting group. I don't like to play scrabble anymore already since a long time and only participated for the fun to meet the others. Same for painting. She told me how busy she is and she also has a boyfriend now. Why not. Usually the youngsters (I included when I was that age) thought that once at 40 people wouldn't date anymore, but now I see that even 80 or older people look for a fitting soul ! As we chatted the time went by it was already late and I walked back to my car to drive home and she went in the other direction.
When I arrived in Riccardo's room, he had already a visitor, his friend with whom he had played Whist for years she had brought him ice cream and made a coffee, he was spoiled ! and then I arrived with my drinks and chocolate puddings ! He was in a quite good mood, I told him who had wished him happy Birthday and Easter and he remembered all the people. I also noticed that he had tried to play with the cube puzzle and he found it difficult, but that he has tried was already a good sign. It's better then pull out doors of his wardrobe or staring at the ceiling ! Maybe they had given him a medication to calm him down. From time to time he has hallucinations "repairs" things.
Tomorrow is another day off and all shops closed, but there is always a lot to do with my new computer and now if it is as warm as today I can even "work" outside !
It's strange but now in my actual situation I love to be alone and write and enjoy the beautiful view, now that the trees bloomed or got fresh green leaves ! I also learned a lesson, be careful with so said "friends" they let you down when you are in troubles.
