Isobel woke at 8am, but was very tired and slow to start moving.There were no problems breakfasting, bathing and dressing, although it was half ten before we got to the hospice. Her walking and balance were again very poor.

While Isobel was at the hospice, Di Sprowles, who was at school with Isobel, dropped by on the off chance of seeing Isobel. Di is going on holiday for two weeks and will arrange another visit when she gets home. I collected Isobel from the hospice at 3pm, Steve has "kindly" loaned her a video of "Summer Holiday" to watch!!! He says the new version is even worse than the one with Cliff Richards in it. I 'phoned Maidstone Hospital and spoke to Elaine, Dr Sadler is away this week but Elaine has not seen any planning to do with Isobel - she will get Denise (Dr Sadler's secretary) to call with a report of the present position, hopefully tomorrow.

Isobel had chicken casserole for dinner, followed by ice cream. We packed Euan off on his Oktoberfest trip to Germany, Iona drove him to Richard's house where they will all stay before an early morning departure tomorrow. Isobel went to sleep at about 11pm.
