Isobel was deluged by visitors today. I went in briefly at 1pm as I had to get back to Bexleyheath for a 2pm appointment. Isobel was alert, speaking clearly and had already had lunch. I left before the next visitor, June, arrived. Then Iona arrived, bringing Euan to see his mother for the first time since she was rushed into Queen Elizabeth Hospital last week - he has been laid low by a succession of illnesses. June had brought another installment of bakestones (Welshcakes), Isobel enjoyed some and passed the remainder on to me (yum!).

Iona brought Euan home, leaving June with Isobel. Iona then led Louisa and Teri to the Centre. By the time they got there June had left. I went in again at a quarter past six to see if Isobel wanted to view the firework display; not surprisingly she said she was too tired. She had already had ham salad for tea and did not want any biscuits or chocolates. She had a mug of tea at half seven. She went to sleep several times but woke after a few minutes and was generally restless. Her speech was much more confused than it had been earlier in the day. She finally settled down to watch football on television (her new found interest in sport continues) and was still awake when I left at half eight.
