Hello @outlander, @Bimby2, @MDT and @Ney and welcome to respite! I have internet access here on a dinosaur of a computer. The net nanny keeps blocking this forum for profanity (which the thought kinda makes me giggle really!) for some reason. But I am getting through it. So far I've been for a walk, but seeing as the respite house is on a main arterial road to the city, I don't like the hustle and bustle very much at all, so therefore am staying put.
I won at pool (by default - the white ball was sunk on the black) against a staff member. He is very good at pool, I should ask him for a few pointers! I am really missing my Mrs and I am sure she is really missing me. I am finding the afternoon dragging on because I don't know how to fill my day. It's only day one! I did manage to find the bus station to the big shopping centre if I feel like venturing out that far (kind of paranoid I'll get lost).
The staff are very friendly and accommodating, so hopefully it all goes well.
