A mixed day today. There was another "jammed in the bath" episode in the morning; following this a number of hygiene issues were not resolved before Isobel went for her usual Tuesday spell at the Cottage Hospice. I understand that Isobel was not very co-operative on some matters with the hospice staff and there will be further discussions with the Ellenor Trust regarding improvements and extension to her care.

When Isobel returned home there was what what would be called in diplomatic circles "a full and frank discussion" about hygiene issues and some matters seem to be resolved.

In the late afternoon and evening Issobel had a relaxing time watching television - she has just about finished the Indiana Jones and Charlie's Angels films this week. No problem with food at present, today there was breakfast at home, a full cooked lunch at the hospice, a large chicken Kiev dinner and a giant helping of apple and blackcurrant pie in the evening.
