friday afternoon bingo with christiane, followed by a festive themed quiz which this week celebrated the last day of christmas. doreen and olive joined in later, but pictured here are helen, susan,phyll,ann,marie, patty, lucille, eric and philip -
eric, sheila and marie, taking this game very seriously! Patty was also playing but nipped out to have her hair done half way through so missed out on the photo call. very impressive result with everyone using all their letters, covering the whole board and very respectable scores - think they all tied in the end for first place!
blue sky and sunshine today (at least for a while) and the first signs that spring is in the air appeared at mount ephraim house - freshly mowed lawn, indoor spring bulbs on the window sill and first flowers in the garden...
olive enjoyed researching family history today, with Jane our regular computer instructor. later Hester, marie, and iris spent time with jane on their particular favourite subjects.
cathy came today for the first motivation session of the year - well attended class!!
someone has been finishing the jigsaws!! one is a lovely 1960's toybox puzzle and the other, an old fashioned sweets puzzle - very nostalgic!
...brightened up the lounge today with their singing - a mixture of adults and children, male and female, came to mount ephraim and entertained our residents.
group photo of the lovely group from the twells rotary club who came to sing carols for mount ephraim on tuesday evening - getting everyone into the christmas spirit. residents had song sheets too and many joined in with the choir. a big thankyou to robin who organized everyone and to adam who managed to rustle up some delicious mince pies and a bottle of sherry!
jacqui came to play her silver sax to the residents this week as part of the christmas celebrations, incorporating some carols into her repertoire. patty, eric and olive agreed to provide some backup but grace still prefers her knitting & eric was very engrossed by the look on his face!
some pictures to be going on with...more to follow
heather is from 'music for health' and aimed to get our residents into the christmas spirit
