Had a good week to get out for a walk as weather been really good, Wednesday was so warm you could just imagine Spring had arrived and the cafés and bars on the Newcastle quayside were full. Haven't had any rain for a out 8 days now and Liz is starting to complain the grass will never grow (starting to sound like a farmer as they are never happy with the weather)
Therefore was disappointed as this last weekend has been so windy I haven't been able to get out for my walk. I usually don't see many people when I am out but it is surprising how many people notice I haven't been out walking! They must watch me from behind the curtains!
The theme for this week at the Aphasia Centre was travel and on Wednesday I had to take in a photo of any area of outstanding natural beauty I had visited. As I live in an AONB I downloaded a picture of High Force waterfall which is in Teesdale, I was tempted to take a picture of our view as it is just as beautiful.
I did some more reading skills with the students this week, still struggling with some spellings which is frustrating as it is random ones I get wrong.
The debate on Friday was "should lottery money be used to fund the arts" which I disagreed with because I believe some of the funding which goes into art is a complete waste of time. I think some of it should be for funding deprived youngsters to go on outdoor courses (so they could go for free) that way they would learn some life skills. Some youngsters who live in cities don't see outdoor life.
Also on Friday I started writing My Story which will be part of our project to make people more aware of Aphasia. My group of five are all writing their stories of what happened to them when they had a stroke, my problem is I don't remember the first 3 months.
