Perhaps they do! Archie has been observed curling up on people’s laps when they’re a bit blue.

We celebrated Burns night in style today. The care team piped in the Haggis, Alice gave a Burns night speech, and Bert did a fabulous reading.Oh and the staff team dressed for the occasion of course.

June really enjoyed her manicure by Donna today. Interestingly the men seem to enjoy manicures as much as the women do.

We got to know Mary and Roy at the weekly ‘Singing for the brain’ meetings in Brixington. Mary mentioned that she is a yoga teacher and so we snapped her up for our residents. Today was the second session and the response from the residents is fantastic with nearly half the residents and the care team joining in. Not only is this a relaxing work-out for the muscles, Mary also made it great fun. As I write this, an hour after the end of the session, I can hear very animated discussions going on in the lounge. Just great, and so we will add this to our weekly activities programme. The challenge is to find a free slot!

The extension of the car park extension is finished and we celebrated by giving the Rosemobile a fetching new livery. Do wave  when you see us driving around!
