No travel problems on the way to the Centre; virtually no snow has fallen today When I arrived at about ten past five Isobel had already finished the omelette and pudding she had for tea. She was wide awake and in very good mood. Her speech was much better, as good as it has been for several months.

We watched two quiz programmes on television and Isobel was able to talk sensibly about them. She ate a banana and some grapes. There was still some congestion on her chest which caused discomfort and coughing at times. Overall Isobel was far better than yesterday. I stayed until 6.35pm. More snow promised again tonight but I am beginning to doubt the veracity of these weather forecasts.
