Inside-Outside

Charlene and I composed a short speech,presented last Friday by Nick.It went down pretty well-I don't seem to have a copy.Charlene got me a nice bracelet for Valentine and I bought her a digital watch,which she really seemed to like.There's another meeting on Friday,with regard to relationship issues.Later that evening, I hope to see Charlene again for a bit of a get together-looking forward to it.

  

Looking ahead

Aims for 2015 at Bede:

I'm looking for a job with Bede Plus; recycle the rubbish-don't forget to recycle cans, paper and plastic between 10am and 11.30am; work with the allotment group between 1pm and 3pm;

 more trips out with Bede during the year.

The latest...

I'm working on a short presentation speech (with Charlene), to welcome guests to Bede on Friday, for the 'Inside-Outside' tea party.

My mangled finger-quite swollen. Fortunately not broken-looks nasty though. 

Sad news, Gary my friend and a good friend to everyone at Bede, died on Sunday. I would like to offer my respects and condolences to his family. 
Thinking of you all at this sad time.    

The Workshop

The Friday workshop: it was helpful as Charlene and I were able to talk about our 
relationship. It was a bit frightening that we were actually going sit down and do that: how the relationship was working and maybe could work better. Could we behave and act responsibly?
Relationships between two people affect a lot of others and it can be difficult when they are also concerned about the person they care about. 

AND I got my little finger crushed in the door of a 37 bus the other day-more next time.

Friday workshop

I'm going to a workshop on Friday with my girlfriend Charlene (ten in the group in total). It's to talk/discuss issues to do with relationships. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it should be interesting and I hope I'm (we are) going to get some helpful information and advice. Will comment next time.

christmas

  I enjoyed half of Christmas and that was the first
half when I had dinner with my mum, quite a few aunties and a few of  my mums friends. It was relaxed and pretty easy going. The only thing though was that it was really crowded and it wasn't possible to dance.

Bede flag raising.

Went to the Bede flag raising ceremony in Southwark Park today.
These were flags created in the Tuesday art group (by a method called batique), all with a 'seasons' theme, ie. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Really brilliant colours and great designs. I wasn't  actually involved in producing those flags in those classes, but I could see that everyone that had, was pretty proud of what they had done. Anyway, we were all happy to celebrate the occasion.
