The night was disturbed by a very long discussion concerning the need for Isobel to change her pants and go to the toilet. When these incidents occur they can take an hour or more to resolve. Anyway, no disaster occurred and Isobel breakfasted before 8am. After breakfast Isobel felt very tired and did not get bathed or dressed. She came downstairs and lay on the sofa, watching television and drinking cups of tea. Unfortunately she was so comfortable that she resisted all attempts to move her for three hours by which time the sofa was soaked again. Isobel resisted all efforts to bath her during the day and personal hygiene is becoming a pressing issue; although refusal to clean teeth is being overcome with industrial strength mouthwash.

Iona came over in the morning. She has sorted and repacked all her mother's jewellery into about 60% of the original space, following on from her success with the clothes. In preparation for her holiday Iona has had some kind of spray tan applied to her, the resulting colour would be a pretty good match for Gavin Henson in the days when he was nicknamed "Tangoman". (In other words - orange).

We had a very large curry for dinner at about five and Isobel had half a glass of white wine and half a glass of red wine with it. Iona went home afterwards to pack for her holiday and all Isobel wanted to eat in the evening was some yogurt.Isobel's walking and balance was a little better than yesterday, her speech about the same as yesterday.
