Interruptions continued throughout the night, Isobel finally settled down to solid sleep at about 6am. She woke after 9am, the bed was soaked again, although she had been to the toilet about eight times during the night. Balance and walking were again poor today. I finally got the new washing machine order sorted out but delivery has now slipped to Friday.

Iona came over in the morning to help with sorting the remaining stuff in the living room. When she left she took a load of dirty washing with her. Dallas and Mike came to see Isobel and talked about their cruise round the Norwegian fjords. They brought a delicious home-made coffee and pecan cake, we ate most of it, Isobel had two slices. Dallas and Mike left just before seven. Isobel had tagliatelli bolognese for dinner, having previously had a third slice of Dallas and Mike's cake.

Isobel was very tired in the evening and fell asleep on the sofa. I drove over to Iona's and collected all the clean, damp washing as Iona's tumble drier is inefficient. Isobel was still sleeping on the sofa, when she wakes she can move back into our bedroom, a sixth layer having been added to the protection above the mattress.
