A good wekk at Farleigh + a good short week

Last week, I had a really good week.

On Monday I went to college, went back to fourwinds. I did my shopping, had my tea and then we watched Finding Nemo. The DVD was scratched so we couldn't watch the whole film. We got to this scene:

After watching a bit of Finding Nemo, Babber and I made my packed lunch and then we went upstairs and play on my games.

On Tuesday morning, I went to college and after college I had a speech and language therapy session with Helen. Before I went to the Therapy Room, I saw Babber as she was working at North Perade for the evening. In my Learning Centre group there are 2 Wills. One Will likes the Go Compare adverts and the other Will doesn't. When I went back, Hannah made my tea and then we went upstairs and played on my games for the rest of the evening.

On Wednesday, we catched the bus to college and then I had OT in the afternoon. Emma and I changed my bed and we had a look at some online puzzle websites. James who is Mark's personal tutor couldn't book a lane for our normal time at bowling so he had to book an earlier lane. A new student who will be joining us in September came along to the bowling trip so Babber had to take her car. Before bowling, I spent some time with Nath.

After bowling we went back to fourwinds and spent the rest of the evening with Babber.

On Thurseday it was time to go home today. I enjoyed my week at college and the good thing was that I managed to speak to Ben about one of his favourite bands.

This week was a really short week and Bop It was getting slower and slower. On Monday evening, I went shopping, had tea and played on my slow-motion Bop It Extreme 2 with Babber. It survived that evening. On Tuesday, I had Literacy and Numeracy at the Learning Cetnre as I will be having Helen every other week. Bop It was still alive. On Wednesday, it was my Birthday! It felt a bit strange waking up at Farleigh on my Birthday because the last 16 years I always been waking up at home. Before I went home in the afternoon, I spent some time with Nath, James and Babber's son George. The Bop It finally ran out and Alley put some new batteries in for me and she also made my bed ready for next week. When the dudey van came round to pick me up for my Birthday trip home, Sue Read  came to visit Fourwinds and Emma was cancelled. I am glad that next week will be my last week before Easter and Dad and I will be seeing Mum down the Caravan in the Dudey as Mum and a few of her friends will be going down the caravan.

A week at Farleigh with a new change

This week, I had a change on Tuesday!

On Monday, I got up, had breakfast and went to college. After my day at college, I went back to 4winds and Mondays was just normal. I did my shopping with Karen, came back, had my tea and then spent the rest of the evening with Babber.

On Tuesday, I woke up, had breakfast and I was stuck in a traffic jam on my way to college, did my day at college, went to the Learning Centre and then I went back to 4winds. I thought that Ross was going to look after me but no, it was a new staff member called Hannah! I had my tea and after tea I felt really upset so I spoke to Dad and whilst I was speaking to dad,  mum phoned up Steve who came up and spoke to me. I managed to get use to the change as the evening went on. Hannah comes from Westbury, so does Ross! We played a bit of Millionaire and then Ross made my roll for Wednesday. I was so glad that Tuesdsay was over because I know that I would see Babber the next day. I would see her at the Base room at college during the day.

On Wednesday, I woke up, had breakfast and catch the buss to college. I had to eat with Ben but there was another new staff member there and I was speaking to her. When I got back from College, I put my washing on and stripped my bed, and then played Bop It and Brain Shift with Steve. Then I went back upstairs and waited for Emma to arrive. After my session with Emma, I went downstairs and Babber was playing Chess with Nath. So I watched Nath beat Babber at chess and then we went upstairs and played a few games. Angela had to help with the house food so I was on my own for a little while. After tea, I went bowling. Nath invited his girlfriend Holly over. Holly is a day student at Farleigh who lives in Bath. There wasn't any lights on. We didn't know why they turned the lights on but Jacqui reckons that because it was full room it could have been a Moonlight Bowl.

I had quite an interesting week this week and I have got a Boogey ball to take back to my room next week and I will be watching Finding Nemo  on Monday evening as Karen (who I went shopping with) only saw it once and she would like to see it again. Bubbles! bubbles bubblbes bubblbes bubblbes! "He likes bubbles!" "Dude! Focus Dude! Dude! Oww he is a dude!"

Another week at farleigh

On Monday morning I wasn't feeling very well. I didn't really feel like going residential but I went to college in the morning. I felt heady during the day but after College it was time to go back to 4winds. Whilst Jacqui was taking me and a few others back to 4winds I saw 7 dudey vans. One of them was a "Surfs up dude!" When I got back to 4winds, I had my snack and went shopping at Sainsbury's with Karen. We bought all the food we needed for the week and whilst we were shopping Angela Babber cooked my tea. I had fish cakes chips and peas. After tea, me and Angela played on Abe's Oddysee. We did a speed run. Here is an example on what a speed run of Abe's oddysee is:

As you can see, the whole game is played as fast as the player can. This guy is an Italian guy called LoStraniero. He beats the game in 50 minutes and 55 seconds. I can do it in 49:00 and I'm currently submitting my run to speeddemosarchive.com as their world record is 56:58

When Abe was at a new area, I asked Bop It if I should carry on speed running and he kept on saying "dude!" and he didn't say nothing which to us means yes. We also played a bit of Groove It and Brain Shift.

On Tuesday, I woke up, had a shower and had breakfast and went to college. After College I had my first session with Helen at North Parade (the main Farleigh building). Helen does Speech & Language therapy. She told us that on the 13th of March we will be having her at 4 and then we'll have our literacy and numeracy sessions at the Learning Centre a bit later. Mum doesn't like the sound of me doing 3 hours of work as that would mean that I start from 9 till 7! We didn't have Literacy this week but we did have numeracy with Martin normal time. I went back to 4winds at 6pm and the Babber had finished cooking my tea. I didn't like the chicken as the chicken we bought at Sainsbury's was a bit different to Tesco but I ate as much as I could. After tea, we played a bit of Abe (which we got the bad ending and decided to save 50 Mudokons to complete the game) and then we played on the Millionaire game. We didn't do well this week as we only won £1,000. We were on the £32,000 question and we got it wrong.

On Wednesday I didn't catch the bus in the morning as Sharron (the base room leader) needed a dudey so we drove the dudey into college when it was time for our lessons. I went back to 4winds early than usual. I usually go back at 1:!5 on a Wednesday but Jacqui took me, Sue and Crazy Ben back to 4winds at 12:30.  During the afternoon, it was an exciting afternoon as Microsoft finally launched the Consumer Preview of Windows 8! It is a beta version and if you really want to download it, you can download it here:

It was revealed during the Mobile World Congress Conference in Barcelona! But before that, Alison and I did my washing and strip off my bed before Emma came so that she could show me how to do the tumble dryer. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to work one of the tumble dryers so we had to ask someone to come and show us how to use it.

After I had my session with Emma, me and Angela played on Abe's Oddysee again and we managed to get to the ending area (The Boardroom). Whilst I was playing it, Emma came back upstairs to let me know that I was one of the chosen students by OFFSTED to have a chat with an OFFSTED inspector and show them around the house. Angela said to Emma "We are near the end of the game and we are going to get the good ending. Do you want to see it?" and surprising, Emma came and watch the final level and good ending of Abe's Oddysee!

After tea, we had an OFFSTED inspector called Wendy. She chat to Louise first and then we had a chat with her about Farleigh and then we showed her around the house as she needed to check the house. After that, Nath, James and I went bowling. In the morning I saw that Crazy Ben was on the list but luckily he didn't come! I managed to get a spear in my 2 games and when I got back, I had nice clean clothes for next week and I snuggled up in my feathers and then it was home day when I woke up.
