  une has been a good month back at Palmers, and I love going there and tidying up the weeds growing along the pathway. It's always a good time going to Greerton Hall, playing games, and meeting new people. We also had a pamper session where we did some self-care and made a homemade face mask. I have also tried out a few different recipes, including a chickpea curry, which was sooo yum, and some muffins for the ball. I have enjoyed following the Soccer World Cup this month. I picked the Netherlands as my team to follow. I enjoy going swimming and throwing the ball around with my friends from Arohanui.

I have been playing lots of games of Connect 4, as it’s my favourite game, and I’m becoming the king of winning. I really enjoy the challenge and always look forward to another game. We went out to th...

 I went to the library today and joined in with a Lego session. We were given a subject then had a short time to make it. We made an aero plane and a robot. A fun morning. DG

  I am a pro at connect 4, I can beat most of the clients and staff. I think it's the best way to start the day, by winning!!! KB

 Due to Sailability cancellation we visited the Wilrose centre for the day. In the morning we watched them rehearse their karakia songs. I used the pois to couple of the songs. After lunch I played on the Wii game with Scott. We played ten pin bowling and I worked a sweat. I really enjoyed the outing. DG

 Today at Yatton Park we decided to walk towards the Fraser Park Reserve. We didn’t get to the end as time was against us. I’m sure we will arrange to complete at another time. DG
