Today Matthew was in the residential unit and he was going to his day service. He was also going to derby later. When it comes to pubs with play areas, the Wacky Warehouse concept is fantastic. It offers a large soft play centre next to the pub next door but you can order food and drink from the pub to be enjoyed inside the Wacky Warehouse. The Wacky Warehouse at the Bonnie Prince is open. Matthew got up and had toast and orange juice for breakfast. Whilst waiting for time to got to the day centre Matthew spent time in his room watching buses.
