A very brief report today, as it is the early hours of the morning and I have just finished wrestling with glued together ceiling paper and wallpaper in the living room.

Iona and Jon called round early in the morning, Jon had left his car here last night when he went out drinking in Bexleyheath and Iona had brought him over to collect it before he went to footnall and she went in to the nursery for their open day.

I went in to see Isobel at mid-day today and found her in an odd mood. She had just finished dinner. She seemed worried about something but could not explain what. Her speech was much more difficult to interpret than usual. After a while she seemed content just to sit up silently in bed, very unusual. She cheered up a bit when I got out Zoe's box and she ate some almond biscuits. I left just after 2pm, she had a few chocolates before I left and seemed more relaxed but we never got to the bottom of what had disturbed her in the first place.

Dallas and Mike went in to see Isobel in the early evening. They briefly dropped in here on the way home and reported her as happier. Iona had said she was going to see her mother after the open day, but I have not heard from her yet.
