Annabel is well liked by all the residents and her magic can especially be seen on the ladies as they leave the salon. This morning Joy was no exception as she entered to lounge looking glamorous, classy and happy.

An awards ceremony today at the drama club. The awards ranged from the 2014 comedian/comedienne, best actor/actress, best juvenile lead, best singer, most glamorous and newcomers. We had some great acceptance speeches too.

a walk a day keeps the doctor away, keeps us in synch with everyone else including dogs, and allows to offload our thoughts. Feeling the sun on our skins, hearing the birds singing their eve or morning song – what else would one wish to do. Today was no different – Ian, Gerry, Meg, Joy, Bob, Clare and others. Bob loved listening to the birds – they were singing their hearts out this afternoon, Meg loved the flowers.

Mick has been working with our fitness enthusiasts for over a year now and he often says we are the best class he has in terms fitness, strength and of course enthusiasm. Twice a week between 7-12 people join the class. The core fitness fanatics are of Kay, Betty, Harry, Dennis, Rene, Reg, John and Meg and they have been joined recently by Ron. Stiff joints or not they get together twice a week to stretch, have fun and stay fit!  Just in case anyone thinks this is easy going chair exercise – the exercises are no different to those Mick has in his other classes with younger people and our residents tend to be fitter and more flexible than our staff!

Glorious Thursday with walks, water bombs, soaking up the sun in the garden after lunch snoozing, chatting and reading, and the quiz packed with everyone joining in. Outside living is coming back!
