I went in to see Isobel just before 3pm. She was as usual lying on the bed. She was cheerful and her speech was fairly good. In terms of meaningful conversation this was one of the best days since she went into the Centre.

With her afternoon tea Isobel had a scone with jam. Isobel followed the programme "Countdown" on television closely, but was not able to solve any of the problems although she understood what they involved. I had to leave before Isobel's evening meal arrived as I was expecting to teach tonight, but the session was cancelled. I put away Isobel's birthday cards as Christmas cards are starting to arrive.

I have just remembered that there are photos of the birthday party last week, I'll post them here in the next few days.
