April draws to an end

I planted runner beans in the allotment today and  watered the broad beans. Afterwards we went to the Pop In café.

Election debate

Richard from Mencap organised the local candidates in the upcoming election to come to Bede and answer questions in a debate.

Simon Hughes of the Lib Dems came, as did Neil Coyle, Labour, and Will Lavin of the Green Party.

I liked it a lot and I am going to vote on May 7th.

Fixing the Greenhouse

At the allotment today we had to reinforce  the 
plastic sheeting on the greenhouse - its been very windy and we thought the thing was going to take off!

There's a music festival for people with learning difficulties coming up: check it out! 2015 Music Festival

Cold and blustery

It's cold and blustery out today so we didn't do much in the allotment. I turned the soil in the raised bed and then we went to Lou Farrow's for lunch.

The reason I played cricket today

I came in late today because the 42 bus I get had been diverted - so I took a cab to the Bede.

Because I was  too late for the allotment group, I played cricket instead in the gym before lunch.

The reason for the diversion: an unexploded WWII bomb was uncovered at a nearby building site!

trip to the unicorn theatre

I went to the Unicorn Theatre on Saturday to see a show: Britain's Best Recruiting Sergeant.

It was really, really good, entertaining and funny. I'd like to see it again but it's finished.  

A tribute to Gary

My friend Gary, we lost him because he died so young. May he rest in peace.
He loved Spiderman and Thundercats and at his funeral they played the music from Thundercats.
It was a sad funeral. I couldn't stop crying. I hugged his mum and his dad. The crematorium was packed. There were loads of flowers.
I won't forget about him. He was loved. I will keep him in my prayers.
