I went in to see Isobel at 4pm. I think she may have been dozing before I arrived as she did not have the television on. As there is so little she can do now to entertain herself she usually has the television on during the day and she either watches it or simply has it as background noise. She was cheerful and confirmed there had been no pain in her head. She was a little peckish so she had half a dozen chocolates and a banana before tea. We chatted for a while, I explained that Iona was at Jon's family today and would not be in - she has recovered from the sickness yesterday. When I went to see if Euan was coming in today at half three I found he had gone to sleep; perhaps this was not surprising as he had been drinking spiced rum in Eynsford until Claire (a very sensible and sober person) returned him home at sometime around 4am.

I fed Isobel her tuna salad for tea. This is one of my least favourite meals to feed as it includes several substances I don't like and is fiddly to get on the fork. There was a mountain of shredded tuna with sliced beetroot, cucumber, tomato and onion with lettuce. Although Isobel always has alternative meals to order, I think she usually chooses the first one. This does not matter much as she is eating everything put in front of her. It does account for the lack of range of deserts I think. Today it was again trifle, which comes as very large helpings which are eaten in less than a minute.

After tea we settled down to watch the start of the film "The Heroes of Telemark" (an unusual film, as the reality was more extraordinary than the film). Isobel was able to discuss the the strategic significance of the events in the film at a moderate level. I had brought some grapes in and washed a small bunch which Isobel ate. I had also brought a hot cross bun in case Isobel fancied some variety, she ate this after rejecting all the varieties of biscuits in her room. We watched the film and chatted until I left at a quarter to six. It was good to see Isobel back to the form of last week-end after a few bad days this week.
