Today I had a trip to the park with a group of adults with learning difficulties. Its always a mixed day when I work with them because I get exhausted with fielding ridiculous questions but its so much fun too. My absolute favourite group member Stephen (I think I may have blogged about him before) brought his magnifying glass to the park and I have an awesome photo of him studying the group like Sherlock Holmes.
A new, very very camp group member didn't really endear himself by dragging me over with the bossiest manner possible to read the notice about dog pooh and then to see the dog pooh which was just by the sign. He's a strange man.
Then Margaret fell asleep in her wheel chair during the meeting and snored gently in my ear for half and hour and Kevin who has Downs Syndrome and who I don't know very well kept shouting that it was boring and made me take him to the loo (which is in the staff only area of our library, so I had to take him) and left me standing outside for 20 minutes (god knows what he was doing).
Another was obsessed with taking my photo and kept letting the flash off in my face when I was mid sentence (with mouth open like a fish) - those pictures are beautifuuuuul.
Anyway, managing 15 or so adults who are all quite challenging in their own ways knackers me out so I am now slumped over my desk eating shortbread and thinking about going home.
NB 8 weeks left at work -wooohoooo.
