June Update

 




Wow! What a busy month it has been. 

I made star decorations for the ball and painted lavender in water colours. I also made tree prints from leaves I collected in hunting and gathering.


As this term comes to an end I enjoyed my last session of swimming. I have been practising floating on my back with the other clients and I continue to walk lengths of the pool. 


I continue to enjoy my cooking session. This month I made muffins for the ball, pasta sauce, toasted sandwiches in the pie maker, and a chick pea curry which I thought was too hot.


Having massages is always a treat and I enjoy having a foot spa and hand massages.


We had an amazing Masquerade ball. It was a very special day with the girls wearing their pretty ball gowns and the men in suits and ties. I had my make up and  hair done. My hair was blow waved and had glitter hairspray sprayed on it. I made the mask which I wore and I looked very beautiful.


 We had a DJ called Mark who came dressed in the theme and a mystery quest arrived and we had to guess who it was. Surprise! It was Cassie, an ex staff member. We had a mocktail which was coloured blue with fruit on the side and a glittering mask on a toothpick stuck in it. We had a savoury and blueberry muffin which had blue icing and silver balls on. I wore a lovely mauve dress and had a few dances. It was a lovely day.

Month of May

 Out in the community I had a fun day at Merrivale Community Gardens playing Uno with my friends.

I love cooking and have enjoyed making vegetable patties which were delicious with a yummy chutney. I have also made pumpkin bites. The pumpkins were donated by one of my friends' fathers who lives on a farm but usually they come out of the centre’s garden. 

I also made a crustless quiche and squeezed some orange juice for a healthy refreshing drink.

I visited my friend Lenaire who has not been well at her home to cheer her up. It was great to see her and I know that we brightened up her day with our company.


In sensory I played with all different animals and had fun making their sounds.


I was very fortunate to spend ten days in Rarotonga this month with my family. It was great to swim and enjoy the sights and sunshine it had to offer but it was good to be back at the centre again with my friends. I feel happy and refreshed after my break.
