FRIDAY'S FAVE FIVE

This week the weather was beautiful, sunshine but very cold. My ancient neighbor who keeps my mail which arrives still at my old address, called me to tell me that there were two letters for me. I was a bit surprised, because I had asked officially with x papers which I had filled in, to change my address. 

One of the letters which my neighbor had taken came from the mail office to inform me that they had changed the address and they sent the information to my old address. I wonder what studies the post employees have done ! 

From Tuesday on I went out each day ! I brought the clothes which I don't wear anymore to the shop who sells them for battered woman, I bought a big knife to cut cake for eventual guests, I sorted out my dirty clothes and and a girl picked it up. I was happy that I got back a bit of my energy. 

I took my afternoon coffee with two ladies and we decided that in summer we will do some things together. This week our  occupational therapist (I would call her entertainer) was on holidays, so I didn't miss anything. I tried to buy some boots, but the only once which I liked had not my size. 

I also visited Nicole in her home. Since I am here I haven't visited her. Unfortunately her condition had worsened and she could no longer walk without help, only her head was as clear as ever. But she didn't make anymore plans for the future. When I got home I thought how nice it would be if she hadn't taken that horrible nursing home. What a difference, here you feel at home, there you are in a hospital.

Our post service is really special, I wonder which people work there as civil servants, in any case they are not blessed with any special intelligence. I had changed my address and filled out a form online. I got my mail here to my new address pretty quickly. So I was surprised that my former neighbor called me to tell me that she had a letter from BPost (that's their new name) for me. I was really surprised and asked her to open the letter. It was the confirmation that from x. date my mail will be sent to the new address ! So why did they send me the letter to my old one? Someone probably slept more than usual.

    or change your address

 

And so another week has passed, which is nice, the days are getting longer.

To jump into ice cold water and save a person, or an animal

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I thought I would have only positive and cheerful random thoughts, but no I got an email from my landlord which is so stupid, he really has no imagination, how can he think that I alone, mostly absent and not cooking has damaged the apartment as if I had invited at least 20 people to damage the apartment ! Dario has a friend who will help me he has an Estate Agency !
