Day 287: Challenge Accepted


Delighted by happy, lovely teens today. They all sang 'Rehab' into ribena bottles during their lunch break. One of them played keyboards and drums incredibly well. He accompanied. He was one of the quieter ones - totally at his ease behind a musical instrument. 

We also played with diaphragm breath yesterday, prompting to all start shouting to the other end of the playground as soon as we went outside. They had a race, too. It really made me laugh. They were so pleased to win.  

Once again, I was very proud of them in their presentation. They were playful and loud on stage and most of them seemed really comfortable (even though they were all nervous). I loved that group. They were fabulous. Very grateful for them and for the job itself. The staff were very pleasing today too. Lovely Tom (with whom I share a mutual friend, it seems). Keisha, who's lovely. Some very attractive boys on the staff (I say boys intentionally - even the mentors are mostly 15-20 years younger then me, so I'm admiring them in a very gentle way, so as not to break them).

I am grateful, now, for my bed and my brain. I'll sleep like it was my job. With purpose.
