Today was a satisfying day.
Wasn't really sure what I was meant to do when I got to the care home, but I went with the flow.
Despite my lack of experience in communication I felt pretty confident having a little chat with the elderlies. Well at least I thought I was quite good at it. A lady even called me a young handsome boy, and of course I laughed awkwardly.
The hours went by absurdly quickly. Within these few hours I served them lunch, helped around the kitchen, cleaned a few shelves and even played games with them (obviously Bingo!).
I don't know why I thought volunteering at a care home would be dull, it was completely the opposite. Well now I know to just go with my gut. I will throughout my life try to volunteer at a care home now and then.
What a wonderful day.
