FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

As it rained as usual, and most of the shops are closed on Mondays, because they had to work on Saturday, I decided to make a lazy day. First I took care of myself, nails, hairs, etc, but it at the end I had still the same face and the rest was the same too. Maybe a bit lighter. then I watched a crime story and ate my lunch, and the murder at the end was the priest of the village ! Then it was time for our activities, and this time Bingo was on the program ! I like this game unfortunately I didn't win. 

The next day was almost the same, except the game, which was real funny and made everybody laugh ! You didn't need much for the game, just a metal tray and two large water containers. Cords were tied to the containers, but some weren't. Now you had to pull the cord that wasn't tied and the tray stayed on the containers. Of course, even for us oldies it was much nicer when the metal tray fell to the floor with a lot of noise. Kim covered his ears and some took out their hearing aids. We were probably louder than a kindergarten.

 

With this sad weather we needed some fun games!  The next day we made such a noise that our staff suddenly arrived, one after the other,  because we were almost louder than the drilling of the workers! This time we had to throw plastic balls into cups hanging between the tables! Of course, many balls fell on the floor and we all jumped around to pick them up.

 

 Here they are, nurses, caregivers, cleaners, the accountant etc. Everybody had forgotten the lousy weather  !

At the end of the week, we visited a Museum in the next town. We were 14 even two in wheelchairs. We saw the exhibition of Hergé, the creator of Tintin. It was very interesting, I will writer about it later.

And I ended the week with my still not ready new Blog. I wonder if it will be ready for next year ! 

Princess Rosie sleeps the whole day and from time to time counts the raintrops

HODGEPODGE FEBRUARY 26

 1. February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read a fairy tale lately? What's your favorite fairy tale? Do you believe in 'happily ever after'? 

That's a century ago that I haven't read a fairy tale ! I have a boy, who had a lot of friends, and fairy tales didn't interest them at all ! 

When I was a child I read them all (I think) I would like to believe in "happily ever after" but sometimes the destiny decides otherwise.

2. Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently-

• Once upon a time_I was a happily married woman
• A long time ago I was a happy and funny girl who had everything coming to her._
• In a place far away or not far away, everywhere

3. Which of the following 'fairy tale foods' is your favorite? Which have you made/eaten most recently? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland) 

an apple

4. What's your idea of fun? When something makes me laugh, when I went dancing, when I was traveling and meeting interesting and funny people

 

Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. Rain, hanging around, horrible

6. Insert your own random thought here.

 My problem is that I don't know what I want ! One day I want to go in this hotel in Tunisia where the SPA was so wonderful, to relax with sea and sun ! The next day I hear that strikes are on airports and buses and tubes and then I would sit for I don't know how many hours blocked somewhere, or stay in my cozy cave and when the sun shines lie down somewhere in our park? I could also go to a swimming pool. Maybe we'll have a few hot days like last year or it will rain again until August. I think I'll stop thinking and see how things develop. As the saying goes, "Wait and see"!
