Quick One
08/23/2004
Just a quick entry cos I wanna go to bed 😉 They’ve organised an activity thing for three days this week (Monday (today), Wednesday and Friday) for 15-20yrs old with learning difficulties at a resource centre for adults with learning disabilities which was closed for the holidays.
We arrived and Joy, Rachael, Daniel and Sonia all leapt on me (not literally :lol:) as they usually do, yelling my name! It was really nice because there are/were 9 kids in Di’s class and 6 of them were there (all 4 that will still be there next year and 2 of the ones that left) plus Thomas, who’s one of the 5 that will be moving up to Di’s class next year so it was almost like a home from home 😉 The morning passed and then we all had our packed lunches.
In the afternoon Sonia, Thomas, Joy and I went down to the light/quiet room, it’s the most incredible place! There’s a water bed (very comfy :lol:) and beanbags, there are two bubble tubes in the corner with mirrors positioned very cleverly so it gives the effect of there being about 8 instead of 2, a glitter ball and a few other lights. The ceiling and walls are all painted dark blue and then covered in those glow in the dark stars.
Before too long some of the others started to come in, and in a room that’s not meant for many people we ended up with mum (who was supervising), Sonia, Thomas, Joy, me, Rachael, Daniel and a boy I don’t know who was called Nico (always makes me think of a black lab we looked after…). With Daniel, Thomas and Sonia together peace quickly dissolved 😉 We had a very entertaining afternoon though!
