Apologies for the absence of a blog entry last week while I was away taking a short break. I'd like to thank Emma, Mum
and Dad (Robin and John) and all the staff for managing Valerie Manor so well
while I was away. I would also like to thank the district nurses, Michele our
local trainer, and Michael our pharmacist for supporting the team during my
first break away since I have been at the Manor.
I will be back soon to update
you on more Valerie Manor news but in the meantime Robin has summarised August
at the Manor for us all in the blog entry below...

August Activities Summary

August has been and gone... can you believe it!
The month started with
Cowes Week... a decorated dining room... everyone loved the seagull hanging from
the chandelier (a blown up one of course!). The old ‘grey matter’ got to work on
answering our Nautical Quiz... Anchors Away My Boys.
A very physical morning was held enjoying our Valerie Manor
Olympics. Each resident scored points
entering different events including Discus Throwing (paper plates) Javelin
(chopsticks) Shot Put (weighted balloons) to name but a few
‘events’.
Another favourite was ‘Do you know your flags?’ the residents seemed to enjoy a bit of competition and
were proud of the flags they held!
We took a virtual ride on the Orient Express and enjoyed the
Edinburgh Tattoo. Soft Badminton and Hoopla proved very popular as did our
Sensory Identification of Touch and Smell.
More brain teasers involved Matched Sets, Do You Know Your
Musicals and World Vacation Spots.
Zoe was going to join me in a Tap Dancing Demonstration but
was suffering from a poorly neck... don’t worry folks she’ll be back!
As mentioned earlier a Theatre duo entertained much to the
delight of everyone... we’ve booked them to come back in December with their
Christmas Themed Show.
Lots to come in September! Robin Bates x |
