In contrast to the past few weeks, Isobel slept late today until I woke her with tea and breakfast at twenty past eight. Iona arrived soon after nine and we washed and dressed her and delivered her to the hospice at 10am. The Tuesday session is the original one that Isobel began attending and she knows the other patients well, she says that she enjoys the Tuesday sessions better than other days.

Isobel's walking and balance today was poor. When I collected her from the hospice at 3pm it took a long time to cover about forty yards to the car, she still will not use the wheelchair.

We had a few problems in the late afternoon and Euan had some messy cleaning up to do. Isobel had Chicken Kiev, chips and peas for evening meal, having had apple crumble an hour earlier as she was hungry. She was awake until about a quarter past eleven, later than usual.
