Nac Pfi Life Tec Visits

 Thanks Life Tec, and Anne Livingstone for a great day. Great to see Maggie from the Sandgate Sandbags and the nutritionistas, Claire and Laura.  Great turn out by the NAC PFI group.  I visited, too, but all by myself. The Life Tec centre is very impressive.  It dominates the skyline like a big cathedral. Jean took me around and I was able to ask Katie, the OT, questions on behalf of my dad.

I liked the kitchen, the large print screen, the office gear, the lounge chair. My favourite thing was the handle for the vacuum cleaner.  It allows a person to stand up straighter so its easier on the wrist and on the back.

Life Tec's great skyline - within the shopping complex and set against the hills of Newmarket

Inclusive, funky signage.

My favourite things - the kettle and

 the gardening gear, I would say that.

who would have thought a toilet would be so interesting? -  At Life Tec, Yes.

I love this kitchen, so many smart ideas

Great Nutrtion Ideas

Here is a great web link for fantastic healthy grain recipes.  The New York Times, Health Pages. It is well worth a look.  I have set up a link:-
