A saturday afternoon at the Boarebreker

Sofie and I sat in the Boarebreker this afternoon. This is one of the elderly homes in our city. It didn't start very well: no one at the reception and I did not bring the recommendation letter along. We took the elevator to the 4th floor - hoping to see someone there we know! No luck! Then the nurses asked us why we were there, and I had a hard time to formulate our goal. At last the guy asked me what I really wanted and I answered:"a table ... and some chairs to sit at the reception downstairs". This guy (with long hair in a ponytail) took us down again and helped us to get organised. The first person that entered the building gave us nothing, so we changed our lines a bit and started immediately with the goal: The Flemish Alzheimer League. It worked! This was a very very good afternoon! Fun part was when the guy from upstairs came back down and I went over to him and did my whole explanation again... not recognizing him, until he turned a bit and I noticed the ponytail again. Sofie was chocking with laughter, 'cause she did recognize him! A lot of people were really interested in our ride... one guy in particular who was going to make a cycling trip next summer. Some people also told us they couldn't ride along... Anyways, we thank everyone again for being so generous!
