I went to the Day centre today, as a volunteer, to serve the teas/coffees/lunches and to help clear up too. I had such a great time too. I wish I had as much energy as some of the ladies in their 70's, they put me to shame. I did manage to play a couple of games of doms too, but they are faster at counting the spots than me, and I only managed to win one game ( I think they were being kind to me, letting me win once!!)
They are such a cheery crowd and it will do me good to see other folk, whatever their ages. I'll just have to make sure that I get a good night's sleep on Tuesdays so that I can keep up with them.
The Discworld knitalong starts today so I have to reread "The Colour of Magic" before I plan what to knit (what a chore! Ha!). I finished "Truckers" last night, and I have a copy of it in Spanish so I'll have to read that too... poor me!!! ;-)

I used to work in a residential home and quickly learnt that a good way to keep your mind active was playing cards, dominoes, bingo etc...it was amazing how ruthless some of the 'ladies' and 'gentlemen' were when it came to winning!!
