Coronavirus diary, Tuesday 9 June

Our carers have been busier than ever since the lockdown
In addition to their normal duties they have taken on unusual roles. They have helped keep the Sunrise daily events programme going  despite the loss of all the visiting experts and entertainers.

No harpist, guitarist, singers, keep fit trainer or church ministers, replaced temporarily by the carers helping Rhiannon and Diane, the programme supervisers.

Unable to take us on trips in the Sunrise coach, George has joined  the entertainment team, excelling as bingo caller.
Among other tasks the carers have turned to - hairdressing (my haircut was as good as any I've had) and nail care. 
They are Jack and Jill of all trades, including correcting blips on my laptop. 

It all helps make life at Sunrise comfortable and enjoyable, the time pass agreeably. Popular pastimes include flower arranging, bingo - especially with me: I have won nine prizes so far - and quizzes.
