Once again we welcomed some Friendship Group members who are new to the online group, as well as our usual participants. We are very pleased that those who can, are joining us. We are also keeping in touch with other group members who are not on the internet. It is wonderful to be able to maintain contact in these difficult times.
The shoe must go on.
The show went on again this week with the theme of “Your favourite shoe”. Some were more stylish than others. I seem to be wearing slippers most of the time.
Gyda was inventive, as ever.
Janet had another quiz. Pearl came to the fore with her usual joke sessions and, for the first time, Pearl led us in singing some well known tunes. Janet also led us in some energetic sing-a-longs.
Colouring can be therapeutic. No colouring pictures? – but you do have some pencils or pens – no problem. Gyda shared a great tip with the group. Take a blank sheet of paper and a pencil or pen and take the pencil or pen for a walk over the paper to draw random shapes. Perhaps you will draw squiggles, swirls or jagged shapes, it doesn’t matter what…
When you have finished you can then colour in sections of the pattern you have created to make your own unique artwork.
