I went in to see Isobel just after 1pm. A nurse was feeding Isobel a pot of balanced supplement. She had missed lunch as the carer had not been able to wake her. She had eaten most of her breakfast and a pot of balanced supplement this morning. I took over the feeding and Isobel finished the pot off without any problems although still a bit sleepy. I also gave Isobel her paracetemol in thickened water. Meanwhile Iona arrived after finishing work. We sat around and chatted, Isobel seemed to understand the news about Iona's forthcoming daughter. We left at twenty to two for a birthday dinner of pizza (!) at home.

I went back in to the Centre just after five and was surprised to find that Isobel had already finished her tea - the food seems to be arriving earlier than usual today. I took over giving Isobel a beaker of squash - she had fallen asleep when the carer tried to give it to her. While I was giving Isobel the drink, June arrived. We sat around and chatted for a while, but although Isobel was aware of June's presence she was very unresponsive and did not reply to any questions.

After June had left, Isobel slept for a while until I woke her for another drink. Before the drink I read a few pages of her book to her. She drank a beaker of blackcurrant squash without any difficulty. Isobel indicated that she would like some more reading so I did this until I thought she had fallen asleep. I tidied up the room and prepared to leave, but Isobel woke again and wanted some more reading. We have read two full chapters in the last few days. After about ten minutes Isobel fell very soundly asleep and I left the Centre at half past eight.
