Today Matthew was in the residential unit and he was going to his day service. It was also the day Matthew was going to the dentist. He was also going to see Grandma later on and going to the pub and returning to Blurton for a long weekend. Matthew got up around 08:00 and had toast and orange juice for breakfast. Due to Matthew going to the dentist, he stayed in the house. Whilst waiting to go out we saw First Potteries 63115 on a #11 to Hanley.
