Isobel woke before me this morning and went downstairs. I found her trying to make a cup of coffee. No harm was done but this is potentially dangerous. She had also brought the milk in from the front door step. Isobel's balance was very bad today, she could only manage about two paces without support. Her speech however was again a bit better in the morning although becoming poor in the afternoon and evening.

Isobel bathed and had a relaxing morning until Iona arrived with the missing component for lunch. Afterwards we went to Erith and Belvedere on a quest for fence panels for Iona. Isobel went round the stores in the wheelchair; this took several hours and she seemed to enjoy herself.

Iona left soon after we got home. Isobel had steak pie, boiled potatoes, peas, sweetcorn, carrots, green beans and brussel sprouts for dinner. The vegetable helping was huge and she did not want any other food although I had laid on several chocolate based deserts at Euan's request. Isobel went to bed at about 10pm but watched television for an hour or so.
