I've had a really cool last week of the year at Arohanuni. I was really happy with my secret Santa gift! Merry Christmas everyone. Have a great break! 

I'm being very helpful at the centre. Here I am neatly folding the washing. 

I'm enjoying my coffee at the daily

I'm checking out Asha garden 

The days are starting to get warmer, so I got to go to the beach for a outing.  We were looking to harvest Kina , but the tide was not quite right.  We still had fun and I found a nice peace of driftwood to take home. It was nice just feeling the warm sun and listening to the waves.

 We had a great trip to Marshalls farm!  Horses, pigs, emu, sheep ducks... There was everything!

I'm paying for my coffee at bayfair 

 I went swimming yesterday, there were lots of kids again and I had a really great time.  I did lots of kicking and exercising as well.  I always love the pool.

I liked going to the basket ball court today and playing basketball.  I also liked watching all the kids play during their school break.

I'm looking at my future goals 

I went an visit my friend Asha at her houses

It was Gena's birthday last week.  Birthdays are great, I especially like the cake.  Chocolate this time! We all had a great time.

I had a photo with my friend Asha 

I'm happy that it's been getting warm again.  His morning I sat in the sun for a bit, since my friend Maxine is away.

I'm playing tin pin

Hanging out with the coffee club

We are working on learning how to fix a broken wall.  This is where we had a big hole before.  It looks really good now!  Soon we'll paint it.

In renovation I made a nice shelf.  I did the glueing and hammering.

I got all the Chinese food I could eat today.  This was a big lunch with everyone at Arohanui Te Puke.  I liked the chips best.  It was really nice to eat all that food with my friends.

I have been working really hard on my board

Today was Tracey's birthday. We all got together and sang Happy Birthday today!  It was a great day.

I went to a first people meeting

Tomorrow is ANZAC day. We made a flower wreath to put on the veterans memorial.

I'm making a poppy for Anazac day

I'm painting my rock green

I go walking every week, I go with the group that helps out by picking up rubbish in the park.  I don't pick up a lot, but I love the walking part!  😋

It rained today, but we had fun anyway .  We sang and danced, coloured and pasted.  But I can't wait to go back outside.

We had a nice opportunity to get out of the studio, we thought we'd go check out the last of the roses at the rose garden, although not many left, there were nice spots to park and watch the world go by!

I helped to mix the batter for our corn fritters today, Mmm can't wait to taste how they turn out!

I went for a walk around the Gordon Spratt reserve

I was screwing screws in to a top desk that was hanging out.

Check it out

We went out on a walk, it's called Community Service.. But we pick up rubbish in the park to make it all pretty again.  We were taking a break and I sat with my friend.

Listen to a story

My computer has been moved into the main area, so is nice and close to the music centre and tv, so all the tech gear I enjoy is together, so awesome!

I helped fix my broken step today in guys group.  We all helped a little and did a good job.

I wend to the hot pools today.  It rained a little but I like swimming.  Lots of people are there.
