Gosberton House Care Home This month we have managed to continue with our weekly game of bowling by the summerhouse and also sing- a- longs. We have spent some beautiful sunny days doing activities on the patio outside the Blue Room, picked our strawberries (which may I say are very sweet and juicy), and we’ve been keeping an eye our tomatoes, sweet peppers and aubergines, sadly our cucumbers are not doing too well. All our other activities have been well attended and we are looking at introducing some new activities in the next few months. Our entertainers this month were St Nicolas Players, they had witty and humorous songs and verses, very enjoyable! We also enjoyed Tim Rogers a solo singer/musician who sang and played toe tapping jazzy songs. He made us laugh with some of his jokes throughout the performance; we will be having them both back again. Friday 22nd June was bring your dog to work day and we had visits from some lovely dogs thank you to Regina, Beverly and Karen We had Benji, Rocky, Floyd, Hattie, and George.

She was told by the kindly newsman that it was a pound per word, and that he remembered Pete, and it was certainly too bad he had passed away. She thanked him for his kind words and bemoaned the fact that she only had two pounds, but she wrote out the obituary, "Pete died." The newsman said he thought old Pete deserved more and said he would give her three more words at no charge. Mrs. Monaghan sincerely thanked him and rewrote the obituary: "Pete died. Boat for sale". Smart Irishman An Irishman named Murphy went to his doctor after a long illness. The doctor, after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked Murphy in the eye and said, "I've some bad news for you... you have cancer and it can't be cured. I'd give you two weeks to a month." Murphy, shocked and saddened by the news, but of solid character, managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room. There he saw his son who had been waiting. Murphy said, "Son, we Irish celebrate when things are good and celebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer and I've been given a short time to live. Let's head for the pub and have a few pints." After three or four pints the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more beers. They were eventually approached by some of Murphy's old friends who asked what the two were celebrating. Murphy told them that the Irish celebrate the good and the bad... he went on to tell them that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends, "I've only got a few weeks to live as I have been diagnosed with AIDS." The friends gave Murphy their condolences and they had a couple more beers. After his friends left, Murphy's son leaned over and whispered, "Dad, I thought you said that you were dying from cancer. You just told your friends that you were dying from AIDS!" Murphy said,"I am dying from cancer, son, I just don't want any of them sleeping with your mother after I'm gone. Puzzle Page Can you Find The Hidden Celebrities? AL PACINO, BRAD.
