Going to Library

I went to the Dalston library to use the computer I checked my email and sent some photos to my friend that I took off.

Then I did Canva I had to make a Birthday card for my sister grandson. He will be 8 years old next Saturday. I also asked someone to take a photo for me using the library computer.

I would like to say thank you to everyone that I helped It was so good for me to show them, and a big Thank you to Rick he showed me and I have done it.

Friends for tea

On Friday Rick said everyone must make a blog about learning my way. He wants to know  what you like about it or did it help you. Can you do it on your own.

It was so good. Writing it is like an email to me so that is what we did. when we  finished at 4 clock  I said to Wendy and Ambrozene lets go and have tea and biscuits in the cafe. So we ordered two hot chocolate drinks and a hot glass of milk for me.

There we talked about learning my way and saying it was so helpful. We all learned something new. We enjoyed ourselves. then we went to the Dalston market. Wendy wanted to buy a warm hat we saw one. She said to me Does it look good? I said yes to her it was a beautiful red hat. then we went home.

What I would like to say  is that I went to union Chapel one day it was so good to see inside. I have never been so it was good to know what they do I learn lots but they need help with volunteer to rebuild, but for me it was hard so I said can I drawing a picture so that is what I did and the woman that was do it her name was Cristine she took photos of it. Then she said to me can I have it, I said yes. She loves the picture that I drew. I did enjoy myself.
