Lights, music and a touch of Vegas magic filled the Astra Lounge when Mike Valentine returned with his popular Vegas Variety Show. Residents sang along to classic hits from Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and more. Favourite tunes like Sweet Caroline and Viva Las Vegas even had some residents up on their feet dancing!
A big thank you to Mike Valentine for a fantastic afternoon of entertainment and to for the tasty pizzas 🎤🎼🍕🍕

What do you call a group of flamingos? What did Alfred Nobel invent? And in which country is it illegal to own just one guinea pig?

If questions like these spark your curiosity, you would have loved our recent trivia afternoon! Three teams battled it out across three rounds of 20 questions, covering everything from general knowledge to quirky facts from around the globe. Team Babble claimed first place with an impressive lead, followed by Team Awesome in second, while The Drinkers rounded out the scoreboard in third. The afternoon was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of surprising answers. And for those still wondering — a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance, Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, and in Switzerland it is illegal to own just one guinea pig. 🦩🧨🐹

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them 💜
