Then on Saturday we went to see Willum and Marion (farmer friends from where we used to live) plus their two black Labradors who we know well. It is great to get out to see friends and good to chat without worrying about getting the words out properly. I need to do more of this, and this is why I find the group sessions at the clinic good for me.
The weather this week had been really bad with strong winds and lots of rain, we had snow at home on Wednesday morning but as we were up in Newcastle at the clinic by the time we got home it had melted into slush.
This week concentrated on food and drink, one session was about the cost of some food items, I should have remembered this from last time but couldn't so once again struggled with things like the price of milk and bread! I used to go shopping with Liz every Saturday morning but now find it hard due to my sight problems and the way supermarkets put displays on the corners of aisles and in silly places. Have you noticed how they put displays of wine on offer in very awkward places.
On Wednesday I did some spelling with Emma which I found difficult as I wasn't feeling 100% but she pushed me so I completed them. Aphasia is a funny thing, some days you seem to be doing really well and you feel you are making progress but then on days when you are feeling tired or under the weather all your problems come back. But you have to push yourself and get on with it.
On Friday we worked on our Aphasia Awareness Project and set a timetable for how we could achieve our aim, we are looking to go in during the Easter break.
