Evening gang, I have been visiting mum every day since her admission to hospital the second time. She remains in a contented state but is most certainly not compus mentus, she doesn't make conversation any more , just answers questions or replies to statements with that's interesting or good ; at one time she would talk to anyone about anything., she enjoys watching the tv but I doubt she will be taking in what's happening. I noticed tonight she said a couple of things that just didn't make any sense at all. I made a video call to the family so they could see her and she them which she enjoyed but she thought she was looking at a photograph. Go back to April 9th and she was a very different person to rhe one she is now, very hard to take in

Rich, I have been there. My late wife was like this. Val used to say things that made no sense to me but Val would repeat it, then explain to me what she meant. Even the explanation made no sense, well not to me. One thing she used to say to me was, “Be careful as the steps to the hotel are wet”. Took me a long time to work that one out but eventually I understood. It meant she had wet herself.

Just go along with whatever your Mum says. I know it’s not the same but it makes life a bit easier for you and your Mum will think you are understanding her.

Life can be cruel at times, even worse in these uncertain days. Now you take care. Look after yourself. We’ll be having that beer along with Roger soon.

Then we moved to Hastings on the South Coast and that first Saturday I flew down from “The Ridge” to the sea front. Great fun down hill all the way - Far less fun on the way back.

Blue Skies here this morning - yet another Frost. Likely to be a bad year for some of my plants

Coldest April for 60 years I read the other day Jeff. Due to it being very dry supposedly. Have to say I haven’t noticed that as my three water butts are full and the ground is still very wet, heavy and cold.

Could be a sign of a blisteringly hot summer to come.

Morning all.

Overcast but dry here. Still definitely chilly.

Second Pfizer jab later on. Wonder if I'll have any side effects . Pretty much nothing from the first.

Rich - hang in there. My mum was like that. I particularly remember a very detailed and descriptive "conversation" about her day out in Bourton on the Water "yesterday." Lovely cuppa with a slice of cake in a tea room etc.

It was fine, except that she'd been in a hospital bed in Queen Elizabeth in Brum for several weeks after a stroke.

We just went along with the flow and she was quite content. Other parts of the family just had to keep on "correcting" her which led to serious frustration and grief on her part. But that's a very long story.

Have a good Bank Holiday everyone.

Together Forever

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be

Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
