I went in to see Isobel at twenty past five, rather later than intended. She was already being fed the first course of her tea by one of the carers. I took over and she finished the first course fairly briskly. She had eaten both her breakfast and her lunch in full. We moved onto a very large helping of chocolate mousse which was also eaten, although towards the end Isobel tired. Isobel then drank a beaker of thickened tea rather slowly.

We talked for some minutes, Isobel managed a few very unclear yes/no responses. She then suddenly fell very soundly asleep. I sat with her for a while but she showed no sign of waking. I came home at a quarter past seven.
