“I am going shopping now. I like new clothes, anything dinosaur, Dr Who and nail varnish. “

I got a new Mencap Ambassador t-shirt and a new jumper.  People voted for me (to represent the club members on the Membership Committee).  I was in the newspaper.

I go to Keynsham Mencap on Thursday, to Club 25.  We do bingo and games and music.  I like karaoke.

I held a snake around my neck last time, and I held a lizard.  It was good.  I stroked his body. Joss, my support worker, held it too.  He usually takes me.

My name was in The Keynsham Voice.  It was the first time I was in the newspaper.   (p24 here- https://bit.ly/JohnInTheVoiceOct24  )

My house was a Mencap house. Now it’s Dimensions.  It’s closing.  Need to find another one. We had a Halloween party at home. We put up decorations. I had a vampire mask. Bats and skeleton decorations, and spiders. I was a vampire.

I came to Keynsham in 1987. 43 years ago. I have friends at Keynsham Mencap.  I know the people.

I go to church and talk to people that go there, I have known some of them a very long time. Kevin is the Minister. He’s nice.  I like singing and praying. I go with friends.

I love pop music…60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I like dancing.

The clocks went back. It will be the Mencap Christmas party soon.

I am going shopping now. I like new clothes, anything dinosaur, Dr Who and nail varnish.
