The joys of motoring!!!

We've done not too bad the past few days. We decided to try and get to Lou's saturday work again - thios time it was a lot easier and we knew where to turn. The plan was to go to where her work is based and hand in time sheets.
We got there and then found said timesheets were still in the house!!!
So we headed to Touchbase, whoch isn't too far away from her work base.

Touchbase is run by Sense Scotland. It's a base where they have loads of activities going on - a day service for adults, music therapy, art therapy, a childrens service. One of the kids Louis looked after uses touchbase on a sunday and has a brill time.
The also have a lovely cafe where service users and the public can have teas and coffees and something to eat. We hit there at lunchtime, so it was busy, but it had a lovely atmosphere - just loads of people enjoying lunch and chatting.
I've sugested to Paul about doing some work experience there - he eventualy wants to do music therapy and i think he'd love it there.
I think they also do collabrations with Projectability - the group who do Peter's art class.

thought we should add a photo of said car. Can you picture Louise and me in it??? It's funny, cos she had me out THREE times yesterday! 1st time was when we ended up at TB. 2nd we went to pick up Paul from school. (where i bragged to one of the deputy heads about her saving and paying for the car!!)
I also pointed out that the headteachers car is only a few months younger than hers, which perked Lou up!!

And last night we went out again - just to get used to the car!!!

We went to the cinema thos morning with Peter. Now - i was prepared to get the bus. But Louise insisted she would drive.

We got there and back, but now have a flat tyre!! So Matthew is going to show her in the morning how to change it. Louise has gone to work now.
I was meant to be going out tonight in the car with the girl who taught me to drive (sister of the driving instructor Louise has.) But i've been so tired i cancelled it. Me tired+ darkness does not equal good driving.

OK - i chickened!! But i'm using the tired as an excuse. Plus we have the flat tyre and it's wet out and i'm not sure if Matthew loves me THAT much.
I will need to learn how to change said tyre.

I'm also going to be doing some filming in a couple of weeks time! The local council want to do a dvd on the self directed support we're doing with Peter. So that will be interesting.
Meanwhile, i'm going to go and get some sleep!
