What’s been happening in your village?
We’ve started a TV Date in the community
centre where we all watch a series together.
First up it was “The Crown”. We’re only a
few episodes in and there are already a few
tears. It’s much enjoyed by those that attend.
Our monthly Happy Hour is always a good
laugh. You can even see some hips swinging
when a good song is played. Many residents
look forward to Coffee Club on Wednesday
mornings, and we held a special morning
tea for Mother’s Day. The Caramel tarts
disappeared so quickly. I know what I’m getting
for the next morning tea we have.
The beautiful autumn evenings have meant a
number of residents catch up for a drink on
their balconies. The laughter and humour are
wonderful to see, with them just relaxing and
enjoy their lives getting together after the last
year of COVID. It’s been a great way for new
residents to settle in too.
Our Sausage sizzle the second Friday of the
month is a real winner. How enjoyable is a
sausage with onion on fresh bread and sauce?
Watch out Bunnings we know how to sausage
sizzle! The Residents’ really look forward to our
Teman sausage sizzle.
Something that has made you laugh at
your village
I heard some residents talking amongst
themselves. I was in my offi ce working away
at my desk, which in reception. One female
resident said to a male resident “I wouldn’t
give her a hard time she is a bit tough” The
female resident that was being talked about
said “ Yes I use to work in the prisons!”. The
male resident said, “Why did they let you out?”
I cracked up laughing and the residents heard
me. And the female resident said, “No noise
from the peanut gallery thank you”. Which
made me laugh even more. The best part of
the whole conversation was said in jest, and I
personally think it is great to see residents can
have a laugh with each other.
Some fun things coming up at your village
So many of our residents utilise the community
centre and we have aims of reconfiguring it
and adding a new room. It will be great for
meetings or as a quiet room for yoga, book
club, discussion groups etc.
