A rather late blog for Saturday as I spectacularly overslept. We stayed up rather late on Friday night, Rhoda, Robert Euan and myself were talking in the kitchen. When I went to bed I did not sleep well in the spare bedroom, and decided to have a nap at 6pm before dinner yesterday, I woke up at 10am Sunday morning!

After breakfast on Saturday, Rhoda, Robert and myself went in to see Isobel at 10am. She was back to normal compared to the previous day, although apparently still rather tired. She was pleased to see her sister, but conversation was of course not without some difficulties. Owing to lines getting crossed Iona did not come at the same time as was originally intended, Iona was upset at not seeing Rhoda and Robert. Robert and Rhoda stayed until twenty past twelve, then said goodbye and went down to the Chequers, the pub at the end of the drive, for lunch. After they had gone I few Isobel lunch - orange juice, followed by sausages, mash, cabbage and swede, followed by syrup pudding with custard. After lunch we went through the early retirement form and Isobel signed it (this is the form she was not willing to sign last year). I then went down to the pub at twenty to one and joined Rhoda and Robert who were finishing their meal. They went off to Yorkshire soon after one o'clock. I went up to see Isobel again until about twenty past two. She was fairly tired by the time I left but had been in a good mood throughout.
