The Wednesday Entertainment

The music session yesterday, June 20th (2018)
included a surprise for one client:


Yes, it was still another birthday cake for Peggy Brophy.
Peggy seems to be blowing out candles a few times a year, or is it a case of
'Tempus Fugit'!


Some other clients at the afternoon's entertainment.
Here, Peggy, just home from a recent short spell in hospital,
has nodded off!
