My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Re: My Place

Hi @Oaktree I've had a very long day, exhausted, so cannot say much.

My Brain is Fried.

The Support Worker is lovely, very talkative.

She told me that she enjoys Baking, she can even do a Vegetarian Lasagna (I'm Vegetarian).

They have a Monday Walking Group, that I'm looking at going to in a few week's time.

Not just yet, because I have appointments on Mondays for the next few weeks.

They might do a Zoo day, I would want to do that.

She said she can take me out to the Movies - Woo Hoo! Because I haven't been to the Movies in about 15 years (or more).

They still do some Overnight Trips away (Support Worker said) - So I would be interested in doing a Trip away too.

They will have some pre Christmas Lunch functions, so I would want to go to at least one of those too.

Support Worker has offered to pick me up & take me to the Walking Group on a Monday, when I'm free & able to go (in 4 weeks time).

Support Worker is on leave shortly, so will not see her a 2nd time for at least 2 weeks.

I will be free to attend my 1st Group or Activity of any sort, in about mid November (in 4 week's time).

So I won't have any experience of the service until then.
