Last Friday we played a subscription to watch the ballet called Sleeping Beauty which was at the Royal Opera House. It was filmed in 2020. We watched it on our computer. The picture was so clear it almost felt like we were sitting in the front row of the stalls! The music, the dancing and […]
I went with my sister for a walk in the park, it was cold and windy. I wore my long coat and a mask but it didn’t dampen our spirits. We fed the ducks and swans mealworms. One of my brothers says ‘ these are one of their favourite foods!’ The goal is to try […]
I have not been out much during this cold weather. We have been making lots of hot nourishing soups. One of the nicest parts of the week is sitting listening to a story; we read as part of a book club. The story we read was ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night […]
To cheer us up during a wet and dreary week in January, we agreed to take on a cooking challenge. We decided to make Chinese dumplings. We gathered all the ingredients together. We then watched a video briefly on how to make them. It all looked very simple, sadly it did not turn out the […]
It has been a busy week. On Monday as it was Burns night, for the first time ever for dinner we had Haggis, mashed potatoes and Neeps! It was different but I enjoyed it! Last week my drama group had a virtual workshop with an actor and director from the Old Vic Theatre Company. With […]

I spent a lot of time on the sports Wii. I play tennis, basketball, ten pin bowling and many other sports. My favourite game […]

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to sort through some clothes that I haven’t worn for some time. I was surprised to find among my sweatshirts, one that was […]
We had a very quiet Christmas but we did celebrate the New Year with snacks, a glass of bubbly and a few verses of Auld Lang Syne. As all my classes have been closed because of the latest Covid regulations I will resume my dance and theatre classes using zoom. I will miss meeting my […]
At Christmas my favourite things to do are decorating the Christmas tree and set out the Nativity scene. We have put out the same set of figures for as long as I can remember and I feel so happy as I put baby Jesus in the manger on Christmas morning. I will be helping mum […]
One of my favourite things to do before Christmas is to make a gingerbread house. It brings back wonderful memories of when my nieces and nephews were small. Mum, dad and I would make basic houses and then at our Christmas get together, the children would decorate individual houses with sweets and icing. For the […]
