Just another uninteresting day in my little village in Switzerland. I did clear the last drawer this morning and now it is almost boring that I have nothing more to organise. I did not have a lot of cooking for lunch so there was absolutely no stress.

I again spent the afternoon with Mr. Swiss which is becoming a routine for me. He is making good progress so who knows and we do miss each other.

Luckily there is always something interesting for a photo in his home such as this koi fish that swam past in the pond. They have many fish, but this seems to be the only koi that they have. We like to sit outside in the afternoon on our comfortable chairs in the sun and watch the world go by. Today we had the pavilion to ourselves. Just now and again someone walked passed.

The mallard duck pair were also there, sitting side by side. I very rarely see them together.

The female usually sits on her own

and the male just does his own thing. It is one of those breeds where the male is the good looker and the female more plain.

I also saw this wasp that seemed to be interested in a wooden support which it was holding on to.

Otherwise not a lot of action. I read further in my book on my electronic device and Mr. Swiss was sitting next to me, both of us enjoying the warmth of the sun. We began the afternoon in the dining room where we enjoyed a piece of cake and something to drink.

And that is all I have to say for today. At home I am composing my grocery list for delivery, but I seem to have so much at home I do not need a lot.

I am now off, so enjoy the rest of the week-end everyone.

Another good day today, sun but with a cool breeze. I managed to scooter along without a jacket so it was not too bad. The morning was the usual hoover operation with some dusting and a cooked lunch, so no stress, just the usual housewife life.

This afternoon I took a trip down the road to see Mr. Swiss. He has one plant in his room, an orchid. It belongs to the home and someone gave it to him, but its flower past is some time ago. I am now doctoring it with a weekly supply of water and fertiliser now and again and the leaves are showing signs of life. A very small shoot has also appeared, so who knows.

Otherwise animal life was quite busy outside in the grounds of the home. The rabbits and chickens were hopping and scratching around.

The chickens seem to have adopted me and as soon as they see me they scuttle over to the fence.

And, of course, pose for a selfie, close up to the camera.

Even the rabbits are getting quite friendly. I never realised how quickly they can hop around and take such large strides with their legs.

I spent a couple of hours there. It is so comfortable outside and I was quite happy to listen to some music on my iPhone and read further in my book on the phone. We had the whole pavilion to ourselves.It is opposite the animal enclosure and we found a nice sunny spot for our comfortable armchairs outside which also have nice soft cushions. Life in a golden oldie home is really not so bad, at least in this one.

We have had some interesting news in our area over the past month. Someone began to light fires in various farm buildings. It was usually somewhere with wooden structures which burn quite fiercely in the dry warm weather we have had lately. We have had about 5-6 fires up to now and the police were searching for the culprit as it was definitly a pyromane. Today good news and an arrest has been made of a 32 year old man. The photo is from one of the fires which I “borrowed” from one of our newspapers. Luckily no-one was injured or killed but a few made homeless.

And that is my life for today. Tomorrow Sunday so nothing big planned, although I still have the custom of cooking something special for Sunday lunch – tomorrow steak.

May the week-end be a good one.
