I arrived at the Centre at twenty past five. Isobel was asleep when I arrived. She had eaten very little all day, just one pot of balanced supplement and a couple of spoonfuls of another. She had drunk reasonably well so far.

When tea arrived at about half five, Isobel was fairly easy to wake. She ate all of the main course very very slowly. Towards the end she showed signs of tiredness. She had just one mouthful of orange squash. She also ate a pot of strawberry yogurt. While eating the yogurt there were three or four episodes of coughing and spluttering. She fell deeply asleep as soon as she had finished the yogurt. Her arms were not very swollen and she appeared to be comfortable. She was not able to speak. I sat with her for a while before leaving at 8pm.
