May Updates

This month I had a lovely outing visiting the Decor Garden Centre. It was a lovely day with the sun shining and the leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. I met a really cute bird among the beautiful plants and flowers.I visited Farmers at the Crossing to try out and test some new fragrances. My favourite fragrance was one created by Dior. It was called Addict. I helped out in the community by going to Merrivale Community Gardens where I watered the gardens. It’s lovely to be out in the sunshine in these Autumn months. In music I have enjoyed music from around the world. Scottish music was fun. I found the bagpipes to be very interesting and they had an unusual unique sound. I also explored American music and of course my favourites were Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes. We visited Italy next with a lot of romantic music like “Amore” which is a lovely ballad. It’s so great to get out of my wheelchair and relax on the bean bags while enjoying a foot massage and listening to my favourite Taylor Swift songs. In Abilities Unleashed I made a sock puppet and had a puppet show with my friends from the Te Puke centre. That was pretty funny. Our centre hosted Devon Briggs a para-cyclist who is a world champion at cycling in the velodrome. He brought us his very light bike to show us and explained why it was so expensive. The cost was $110 thousand, it weighed 7kg and each wheel was made of carbon, costing $20 thousand each. He also showed us his medals that he had won. One was Gold and the other two silver. I tried the gold one on and I looked like an Olympian champion. He was very interesting to listen to.
