Monday
The day started with strong coffee and stronger antibiotics, a bout of pneumonia had swallowed too much of January already so lots and lots to catch up on. One of the drawbacks of entrepreneurship being when you go sick, everything stops and as soon as there’s light at the end of the tunnel you’re back at it. So, Monday was the usual morning chaos of getting 4 kids ready for school and nursery and everybody out the door before I go to work. Monday for me is predominantly an outreach day. I visited three care homes and sheltered housing services today and took the opportunity to meet with Better:Gen’s Angus team (Mark) for a brief catch up over lunchtime.
Later that day I was back at the centre with a lady embarking on 1-1 training on only her second session – If you’re reading this, you were fab.
Mondays will shortly be the second of our weekly intergenerational sessions with children from a Broughty Ferry Nursery meeting with residents of a Lochee nursing home at our centre so of course any spare time is spent prepping for that, intergenerational sessions are a real passion of mine and so rewarding, but of course they have to be structured and organised so the members are simply enjoying it without seeing the joins. They need to see the swan, not the legs paddling furiously below it.
