Yesterday was a quiet day after the outings and visits of the previous day. Isobel continues to eat well and although she sleeps more than before, she is awake and out of bed for more than half the day. I fitted in my penultimate teaching session of the academic year in the evening.

Today was another day without an outing. Iona came to visit in the late morning, bringing her dog with her. We changed our dining plans and had a large curry meal at 3pm; after this we all lounged around for the rest of the day. The last few days have been much less difficult than the preceding ones and Isobel seems to have a little more strength and to be walking with less difficulty.
