Iona arrived at the Centre at noon, having overslept by hours. Perhaps we are still recovering, because I slept from midnight to after 9am. isobel was sitting up in her wheelchair. At the Centre Iona met the Ellenor nurse who is taking over responsibility for Isobel from Sarah Parker now that Isobel is outside the Bexley boundary.

Iona fed Isobel her dinner of Shepherds Pie with cabbage and carrots, followed by an excellent piece of Bakewell Tart. I arrived at a quarter to four and Iona left at about half four. The staff put Isobel back to bed, she is getting used to the hoist. I thought Isobel looked very tired compared to yesterday. Isobel had baked potato and beans for tea followed by chocolate mousse. She was not as chatty as usual but ate a lot of chocolates. There is no doubt that her speech was more confused in the late afternoon and early evening, possibly as a result of her tiredness. Isobel got a little upset after 7pm, I think this was because she did not like the TV programmes available but it was difficult to make out what she intended to say. She dozed off within a couple of minutes but woke again just before half seven and was relaxed as normal. After a bit of talk she fell asleep again and I came home.
