After watering the garden with Peter this morning we felt it was too cold to stay outside. Whilst Peter and Trev Clarke enjoyed a game of ping-pong Raphael Spraggons done some arts and crafts with the residents. Jean, joy, Jill and Linda really enjoyed the arts and crafts then some singing too.

Ok later for games it was Scrabble, sudduko, crazy golf and ball darts too.

Lots happening in the home today

What a fantastic evening we had at our free curry and quiz night 💜

The night began with drinks and a delicious curry spread kindly prepared by Sakun Ramanayaka, one of our talented care team members (and occasional cook!) 😊

Six teams took part in a fun mix of rounds including picture quizzes, true or false, kids’ questions, maths, and a very funny joke round 🎯😂

Things got tricky in the final round as teams had to remember earlier answers. Definitely a test of memory as well as knowledge!

Congratulations to our winning team, the Mums & Daughters, who each received a goodie bag 🏆

A brilliant night of laughter, teamwork, and friendly competition.
So what’s next? Prize bingo night? 👀

Lots happening today including new games including sudoku, snooker and table tennis. We also had a game of Scrabble too, we noticed the letters were getting worn so activities Trev Clarke got a marker pen to freshen them up.

After lunch hospitality manager Michelle Szmyrgala Bailey and Trev made some milk shakes for hydration which is very important.
Our residents tried
Raspberry
Mango and yogurt
Oreo
Banana and caramel
Horlicks (which tasted like Malteasers)

This was followed by a film which we chose a western

What a great day

World art today, we let our minds go free and painted what we wanted. Jessie painted a house and the flowers which were on the table at the time.
Jean painted a lovely flower and Joy decided to paint Elaine Palmer and Trev Clarke.

Our hospitality manager Michelle Szmyrgala Bailey was the secret judge and said Joys painting was very life like (is it....) she won a cuddly panda as a little prize.

Later it was time to get our garden ready. John, Peter, Joy and Jean were keen to get some seeds planted. We planted, beetroot, onions, runner beans, carrots and tomatoes too.

We will transfer these over to our garden along with other fruit and veggies once established.

Word games started today with anagrams. Joy chose the first word of fascination then the second word was chosen by Janet which was margarine. Making words from these was fun.

This was followed by hangman before we started with our yoga session. Lots of breathing exercises and some fun bits too. This week our yoga instructor (live from Sri Lanka) did some moves to music which was fun. Just before lunch we did some fun dances.

After lunch it was time for more music with Lynn. With instruments being played we had a great time.

Another birthday today for Monday Bill. Bill visits us every Monday for a day visit but we didn't forget it was his birthday today. We also had a day of quizzes in the morning and Scrabble with Raphael.

Trev Clarke came in a bit later and made pancakes with either syrup or traditional lemon and sugar.
Later on we had our quiz and curry night (see separate post)

What a great night we had at our free curry and quiz night. The night started with drinks and a curry spread put on by Sakun Ramanayaka a carer and sometimes a cook in the home. 6 teams attended to tackle through the rounds including picture rounds, true or false and also kids round and maths too.

We had some funny answers to the joke round when you had to complete the joke. The last round was a tricky one as you had to look back at the answers to previous questions to put the answer. That means if you got it wrong the first time will you remember the correct answer....

The winning team was the mums and daughters team who won a goodie bag each.

What a great night... What's next??? Prize Bingo night????

As activities Trev was on the late shift today we had an afternoon film if Calendar girls. This funny film went down well on our cinema screen. Joy, Janet and Jean said how funny it was. John and Peter wasn't quite shore about it but enjoyed the bit with the Belgian buns 😜.

After all the weekly leaflets had been handed out to all rooms we discussed about the upcoming week. Trev Clarke still had enough time for a game of Scrabble with Jessie. She had missed him as he had had a week off. We managed to use all letters apart from 3 left over.
Another busy day at Hadleigh Nursing Home
