Occupational therapy experience..

I finally managed to have some Occupational Therapy experience today, which I thoroughly enjoyed!!

They are exceedingly busy individuals, so it was a real honour to be invited in for today and tomorrow!

The Occupational Therapists were warm and welcoming, and I even had the chance to visit some of the patients in the wards of the William Harvey Hospital! Unfortuntately, the nurses are tremendously busy, because there are not enough of them!!

It was a good experience to gain an understanding of what Occupational Therapists do, even though I was observing the majority of the time.

I am hoping to do an Occupational Therapy degree next year, which will be a three year course!!

An evening at Pizza Hut!

Yesterday, I was invited to Pizza Hut, to celebrate Louise's 15th birthday!

It was a real treat, particularly eating the pepperoni and margarita pizza's, including potato wedges and garlic bread!!

The best part of the evening was singing 'Happy Birthday' to Louise, as the lights were dimmed, and Louise had to stand in front of the whole restaurant, whilst we clapped her! It was very fun!!

For dessert, I ate ice cream, including smarties and marshmallows, which was exceedingly delicious! Unfortunately, the ice cream took a long while to come out of the machine!

Once we had finished at Pizza Hut, all the guests were invited to Louise's house, to eat a piece of delicious birthday cake. It really was an excellent evening!!

Knee operation!

My dad is currently in hospital after having a knee replacement. Unfortunately, he is situated between elderly men, and is in the middle of the hospital ward!!
He seems to be doing fairly well though!

Many individual's have been asking about him, and phoning to find out how he is!! They even announced it in church today, which was encouraging!!

He is hoping to be making a quick recovery in hospital, as he absolutely hates being waited on! As my Auntie Rebecca would say, ''medical individual's are the worst patients''!

I was dreaming about Tim Horton's today, particularly the doughnuts. It is such a shame we cannot have a Tim Horton's, although we do have a Starbucks in our local supermarket now, including blueberry frapucchino's!!

More images of my adventure!!

These are some of my favourite pictures of my trip to Canada!

The picture of Erin was taken in a Mexican restaurant, known as Chilies, which was thoroughly delicious!!

Pictures of my trip in Canada!!

I had such an excellent time in Canada, particularly playing with Eithne!! I even managed to change her dyper (nappy) on the last day, which was black poo, because she had been eating blueberries!!

Unfortunately, I am not able to put all of my pictures up here yet, so there is more to follow!

Eithne playing!!

Eithne is the cutest baby in the world!!

I will miss her very much!

The hills are alive!

Yesterday, Auntie Rebecca, Sean, Natasha, and I visited Rainbow Stage theatre, where we watched the Sound of Music!

It was absolutely brilliant, including the atmosphere!! Every individual stood at the end of the play, to applaud the actors and actresses on their achievement.

We were sitting fairly near the front of the stage, so we had an excellent view of the actors and actresses! My favourite song included:-

'So long farewell', which was sung beautifully by the children.

Sean laughed very much throughout the play, and thought that the actresses and actors would sing Michael Jackson's 'thriller', which he managed to play in my head!!

It seemed that the whole of Winnipeg had come to watch the play, because it was packed, with hardly any empty seats!

A day at the zoo.......

Sunday afternoon, Auntie Rebecca, Sean, Natasha, and I visited the zoo!! It was a brilliant experience, and a lot of fun!

Before, we arrived at the zoo, Auntie Rebecca brought me a famous slurpee, from 711!! It was even multicoloured!

We saw a range of different animals, including grizzly and brown bears. The best animal was definitely the bearded monkey, which resembled an elderly man!! We all could not stop laughing, once we had seen the monkey!

Auntie Rebecca did not visit the tropical centre, as there was a crocodile situated inside, which was tremendously long in size!!

It was lovely to visit live animals, because I had only seen a dead baby bear, and a dead deer lying in the middle of the road!

Minneapolis!

Erin, Auntie Rebecca, Eithne, and I drove on an eight hour journey to the state of Minneapolis, America on Tuesday! It was tiring, but exciting at the same time, because there was much to watch!!

We finally arrived at Minneapolis at 6.00 pm, and ate a meal from the restaurant, although Auntie Rebecca could not eat hers, because it was disgusting, and vile!

Wednesday, we visited the Mall of America, which is the largest mall in the United States! It was huge, and I had never seen anything similar to it before!! The mall even had a theme park, which I thoroughly enjoyed, partciularly going on the fast rides with Erin!!

Unfortunately, when we arrived back from the Mall of America, we found that a bridge had collapsed, carrying fifty cars! The news was on each television channel, and it was quite upsetting!
